Typical Trading Errors

Small Traders (small in experience or in size of account) often make the common error of losing focus and exiting a trade too early. Not necessarily because it is losing money, but because it is "doing nothing". They want action every day.  It's premature and silly. Take a look at USDJPY for instance. Yesterday's NFP release showed a surprise jump of 2x expectations, while the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 4.3% from 4.4%. USDJPY jumped from 153.49 to 154.60, then immediately fell back to 153.00, returned to 154.00 before sliding to 152.26. There is NOISE & there is SIGNAL. Here is a 90-second video of the trade shorting USDJPY above 155 on Monday.
