Atrader once sent me an email asking me: “Any tips on minimizing execution errors? This week I did a terrible job executing. I had a very good week, but those errors hurt me.”

My response to his email was the following: “There will always be errors! Nobody is immune from them! It is all about how you manage them and making sure you don’t let them influence your psyche! Instead of thinking about mistakes think of everything you did right and how you can repeat that and possibly improve it!”

My message to you here is the same, so instead of concentrating on trading mistakes, try to accept and minimize them. Instead of blaming yourself for why you have taken this last bad trade, try to ask yourself the question: How can I repeat my successful trades one more time and then again and again? If you manage to reach to that trading level, making trading mistakes will not be a scary process anymore, but a great stage for learning.
