How to Avoid Hesitation as a Trader

A lot of traders work on their charts, have their game plan for the day, are at their computers early logged into their brokerage account and ready to trade. Then they have the stock they’re watching hit the level they’re waiting for.... ALL of that, just to freeze and not pull the trigger on a trade they’ve been watching and waiting for. So in this video Umar Ashraf goes over how to avoid hesitation when pulling the trigger on a trade that presents itself in the market!

RISK MANAGEMENT video that I mentioned in this video:

**DISCLAIMER** I am not a financial advisor and anything that I say on this YouTube channel should not be seen as financial advice. I am only sharing my biased opinion based off of speculation and my personal experience. You should always understand that with investing there is always risk. You should always do your own research before making any investment.

the fear comes from uncertainty, once you are consistent enough in a strategy that fear naturally fades from exposure

Using small size is the best confidence builder. My confidence went up after I reduced my size by 80%. I used to trade with $10k positions. 1-3% risk -$100-$300 risk. To build confidence I went down to max $2k positions. Risk was then $20-$60. Much less stress. And even smaller if you want to trade.

the stock market is very lucrative but can be tricky, and if you’re not careful, you may make some grave investment mistakes that could cost you a lot of money.

I'm extremely grateful for this insightful video, Umar! Your guidance on overcoming hesitation as a trader is truly invaluable. It perfectly addresses the struggle many of us face when we hesitate to execute trades we've been waiting for, despite doing our due diligence and creating solid game plans. Your explanation of how fear and uncertainty contribute to hesitation resonated with me, highlighting the psychological aspect of trading that is often overlooked. Your practical tips and strategies have already had a positive impact on my trading mindset, encouraging me to trade with smaller amounts to reduce hesitation. Thank you for shedding light on this important topic and providing actionable advice. Your content has been a game-changer for me!

I have lack of confidence in everything in life and myself which impacts my trading with me never trusting myself then missing a trade which respected my level and made its move. Sometimes even if I size light I still don’t trust myself and won’t take the play

I always find these A+ setups with good RR but I always hesitate on entering my trade
my risk mange is tight everything is working well other then my execution there lots of money j have left on the table by hesitating so hard, I don’t mind losing since I already know that what comes with trading but when it’s comes to entering a new trade even when my levels hit everything hits on. Point i hesitate

I have been trading for about 6 months now and just about every trade backfires and slaps me in my face. Nearly impossible for me to catch more than a few points . I try to do top down analysis but it doesn't work for me . I say to myself, clearly I'm in the 90% that lose money, so I open a demo account, do my analysis, then take the opposite of what I would normally take and get the same result. I'm starting to feel hopeless, any advice for a struggling trader?

[OgVillain]

I took a big loss this month and ever since then, i've been hesitant af. I could've scalped 300 today but man September has been ruthless with the market

[marklanmeadows]

Also I think when starting out the value of your overall account affects your confidence and causes hesitation. Like if you started with $10K and you had enough good trades that you are in the green you think I can lose back to $10K and I'm not really out anything. It's harder to have the confidence and take any risk once your account is less than the $10K and you are in the red.
