do u play chess?
if yes, has it ever happened that u made a move only to forcefully request your opponent to let u retract the move?
what if ur opponent refuses to let u?
chances are that u might have quit the / surrendered / scrambled up the game!
why do u do that?
possibly because of frustration.....knowing the sheer hopelessness of the situation u find urself in courtesy that one wrong move.
but, if ur partner lets u withdraw the move, he/she is doing harm to u by programming u with the habit of always being careless with the moves knowing that u will be allowed to take it back.
on the contrary, if ur partner doesn't let u do that, he/she is doing u a world of good to u.
u will soon be free off the habit and start making right well thought of moves. u will act slow and own the responsibility for ur moves.
paper trading is like such a game of chess.
budding trader should do paper trading before he/she commits hard earned money to the market black hole.
just like a trainee pilot who initially is allowed to fly a jumbo in a simulator!
but how to paper trade.
if u paper trade in the way that chess player was playing knowing that u can always take back the move, the purpose behind that paper trade is deafeated.
ur ego is intact. u r emotionally not involved. nothing is at stake.
so, how to make paper trade real like? how to involve almost real emotions which u r likely to encounter in the trading war time?
one good way is to announce ur paper trade. this way, though ur money is not at stake, ur pride is.
ultimately pride or face loss is as painful as the money loss.
u can announce that paper trade to urself (as by writing/noting in a diary whose page u would not tear), or to ur peers in a forum (like mudraa.com) etc.
once u have announced it, u have taken the plunge, bitten it. u would now have to chew it!
now, u can't disown it. u would have to face "the consequences"
u r "in" the trade....."in the real learning"
keep a record of 5 such trades and look in the mirror............u will see something real!
after the pride, get ready to pawn ur sweat, tears and blood....money can wait for the safe shores!
