I still get nervous placing big trades, even when I know my setup is solid. It’s like I trust my analysis but not enough to size up confidently. Meanwhile, I see traders throwing down huge positions with no hesitation. Is confidence just something that comes with time, or do some people just have a higher risk tolerance?

Some people are just wired for risk. It’s not about confidence, it’s about your natural ability to handle uncertainty. If you second-guess yourself every time you go bigger, maybe your risk tolerance just isn’t high enough for larger trades. Either get comfortable with the swings or stay small—hesitation will kill your edge.

If you have a system and you know your risk you should fine. I “lost” $500k the last few weeks and everything is fine.

OP, the advice you are getting on thread from M1 and D1 is valuable. Both have nailed it.

Me and my husband booked a house back in March for 1.3 M in Bay area. We paid the EMD of 30K. Since then the real estate price has dropped and interest rate has increased. Should we let go of 30k and wait for market to cool down further or should we go forward with the purchase. Closing is next month.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞
