QuoteDisliked1.) Moving SL into profit after price goes nicely in my favor. Once moved and placed on a correct position and price comes back and close to my SL, I start moving it around, hoping price will go into my direction again and often just get taken out with a small profit instead.
QuoteDisliked2.) Not taking profits when my feeling says I should ... or when reaching a decent risk:reward. Instead, I get greedy and very often punished, resulting in profit returning (but once I do not let it run and take my profits, price flies away in my favor .. ugh).
QuoteDisliked3.) Using a working and tested strategy of mine but sometimes still second-guessing myself and then missing the entry ... and then cursing myself why I didn't take the trade. Not sure how to improve that.
QuoteDislikedSo far that's all as far as I remember. Any tips and advice? And before someone says I should read trading psychological books ... I did and it was fine but after few days/weeks, my bad habits are back that refer to psychology.
