Makabawi Syndrome : when a trader experiences a loss that
impairs his or her psychological state in trading, causing the
trader to do more trades than usual that oftentimes result to
more losses. All for the sake of recovering the initial loss.
Like someone who just took the "NO FEAR" drink

Ahhhh the Red Bull. I'd be very wary on riding this one. It's "Sure-bull" to get your port red. |
Symptoms : reckless and emotional trading, disregarding risk
reward ratio. switching from one stock to another in a very short
time-frame. sometimes going 'all in' in a single trade.
To those who experience this.
Here's a tip to relieve some of the pain:
I went through this phase myself.
Who else is guilty?
very true, i'm guillty of this. in just a month my portfolio is ruined by stupid decisions. still struggling to recover losses.
ReplyDeleteyes
ReplyDelete- the flash trader
Guilty. But maybe I should have cried like the picture, sucked it up then jumped back in with a level head. Instead, I spent half of 2014 not trading. Worst part is, it was the first half when things were peachy. Then I went back in the 2nd half which was filled with much volatility.
ReplyDeleteHi Zee just want to share, it's been more than 2 years na ko sa stock market but until now wala pa profit and still at a loss. Was doing breakeven/or with small profit before I joined TAP, it was the week after I attended their November TAP overview when my account got burned badly. Nako pinagsisihan ko talga ang pag attend dun, mali yung napulot kong "aral/style". Now, hirap pa ako marecover yung losses but I guess the good part is natututo ako and narerealize yung mga mali though my struggle is yung pag implement ng trading plan. Most of the time is the lack of confidence na magtake nung trade kaya daming missed opportunities.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't mind, how long did it take you to be profitable/successful in trading?
There's always a learning curve. I think it took 2 years to be fully consistent. I'm still learning now as the market is continually changing. ;)
Deleteguilty din ako!!! :D
ReplyDeletebeen there, done that
ReplyDeleteI'm guity on this one also.
ReplyDeleteMe too. When I had my bad trades, I felt like lying down. I don't wanna get out of my room and I felt like sleeping after a bad trade.
ReplyDeleteHi zee! Pano po ba mawala tong syndrome na to? kase kada nagttrade ako naaapektuhan ung execution ko dahil sa syndrome na to.
ReplyDeleteYou will have to NOT trade for a week or a month. Try it.
DeleteHi ZF, before NOT trading for a period, is purge required or not? considering one is at a loss. salamat po.
Deleteit is recommended.
DeleteI just did this Sir Z. I was too excited to apply what I learned from your blog. Applying them one by one, I just realized na dapat pala combo sir! Or what you call a system. Palpak ko lang, wala akong sistema po. Will get there soon po! Thank you again Sir Z
