Find: Enough loss level trade day needs increased threshold losing large.

It needs to be small enough to not cause us distress to lose &. It needs to be large enough to offer us a reasonable opportunity to profit. Small enough We all have a threshold of comfort when it comes to risking money trading and it is important to find out what your level is. This level is influenced by such factors as your personal wealth, your trading skill and your financial history. You may feel comfortable risking 200 or 2000; it is not important what the figure is, but that it is the right figure for you. As a floor trader I found that my threshold was 1000 a day. This meant that if I lost less than 1000 it was OK, not that I liked losing 1000, but it didn't devastate me. If on the other hand I lost more than 1000 a day, it did affect me, I would start to trade more aggressively trying to make it back. So if I made sure that I kept my losing days to less than 1000 I was fine, I could come back the next day and trade unaffected by the loss. If, though, I did not contain the loss and it went over the 1000 mark, I was in very dangerous territory as I would find it progressively harder to accept the loss and would trade accordingly. As time has passed I have found that my tolerance for loss has decreased rather than expanded. Perhaps as my skill level has increased my level of control has also increased. Large enough
