If you struggle with the mental aspect of taking losing trades, listen to Mark Douglas. He says each individual trade is unique and random, and as long as we have an edge, it will play out overtime. If someone made a bet with you on a coin flip: heads you win $100, and tails you lose $50, you should take that bet every single time regardless of the outcome of the previous flips. Because while each individual flip is random, if you take a large enough sample size (a large number of flips) then it will average around a 50% win rate, and your edge will make you money over time. And when you're flipping a coin, there is no intelligence or analyzing involved so there is no need to be so attached to any individual flip. Apply that mindset to trading and you'll no longer be scared to lose.
