How do you cope with a missed forex trade?
For the forex traders out there – how do you cope with a missed trade? Earlier this evening my system fired off a signal which I was not able to act on because I had emotional doubts about it (it just didn’t "feel" right). The price shot a hundred pips in the direction which the signal said it would.
I’m kicking myself in the b***s right now.
How do you cope with this? As a trader, what are some of the things you do when a painful thing like this happens? I know a lost opportunity is a lesser evil compared to lost capital, but it still hurts like hell.
For the seasoned traders out there, any tips or advice? Lost opportunities like this happen all the time, right?
Thanks.

The best way to cope with a missed trade is to simply catch the next one.
Keep in mind that there will always be plenty of money in the market waiting for you. There is no urgency to catch every trade.
Learn from the past and apply to the future.

Missed opportunities happen. But sometimes not getting into a trade is good too. Would you have felt differently is the trade went the other way?
Try not to become emotionally involved with investing. It can effect judgment at times.
Good Luck!

You take a coffee break.
Next you take the time to write up in your log, exactly what happened. The signal, the entry and the reason why you didn’t take it. The bottom line: you try to understand why it went wrong in your mind, so that it won’t happen again.
Move on. You can’t ‘job’ backwards.
You didn’t lose money, did you?
If you keep thinking like that you will drive yourself mad and who knows, IF you had done it , it MIGHT have gone down. You/ no-one will never know.

Guess it’s part of trading. Maybe even life itself. There are always missed opportunities. Alas, we can’t see the future.
Anyway, you should be glad that your system gave you a good signal. I wonder what you were using. Care to share?
