Ok so we've all been there, your 1 position goes against you, you can't emotionally let it get stopped and you add to it as you are adamant it will return in your favor and before you know it you have 5 of your normal positions open.... it goes against you even further and then you widen your stops up to a ridiculous level and think "what will be will be, i either blow my account or make a fortune" - And of course for being such an idiot you blow your account, 16 hours later you wake up behind a skip in a dingy alley way covered in sick with an empty vodka bottle clasped in your cold hands.
Anyway :cheesy:
Apparently Infinity Futures have something called Forced Discipline, it helps take the emotion out of things and you can limit yourself to say 1 contract, until you have doubled your account, and then you can call up and have it increased to two, furthermore you can have say a limit for the day of losses, and when that is hit your account is locked. It may seem a bit sad to be "disciplined" by your broker, but ridiculous behavior is where i seem to slip up, if my emotions get the better of me i REALLY struggle to keep my cool.
Anyone tried this type of service?
