It’s all part of this job : these are the dynamics and phases that every trader, sooner or later, has to face. I’ve been doing this job for almost 20 years and have experienced every kind of market, from the easiest phases to the most devastating ones, going through mistakes, euphoria, losses, patience and emotional management. And this is precisely where the real difference between one trader and another lies: experience. Experience teaches you to adapt to the market rather than fight it, to protect your capital during the worst times and to truly capitalise on opportunities when they arise. And often, the longer these difficult and tedious phases last, the greater and more ambitious the opportunities the market will offer in the future.
