what do you do after a huge win/winning streak?

[TAjammy]

continue? take a vacation?

 

[Technically Fundamental]

Take 50% out of your trading account, bank it and then act as though everything is the same. I've never been in that position myself so I wouldn't really know but that seems like the sensible thing to do from the outside.

edit: dont forget to deduct any tax liabilities from the top line first. (yawn)

Trade a smaller size to protect what you have made, rather than trying to make more. How long you trade the smaller size, is up to you.

Havn't won big enough to get it out of my trousers...what would constitute a big win? With me the aim is for a grand a day, if I hit that regularly for a year I'd buy a place; approx. 80m2 in Nice (old Nicoise bldg. run down, giving me the opportunity to 'build' equity in it) and send you all a virtual e-card whilst trading...🙂

From my experience DON't up your stake. In fact reduce it considerably. My max seems to be about 3 wins in a row. Then there is this huge unknown force out there trying to win it back from me. It knows that I am feeling invincible at this stage and it just has to wait until the inevitable happens.

Don't trade for a while, and get any possible sense of euphoria out of your system, then come back to it afresh. Definition of "while" depends on your timeframe and normal frequency of trades.
