Trading is all about thinking like a chess player - anticipating all #possibilities and #probabilities. (3/n)

Great #traders execute trades without hesitation, and quickly admit wen a trade is not working. (Very important for #BANKNIFTY traders :P) Fear can overtake rationality. You need to truly accept the risk to trade without fear or discomfort. (4/n)

- turn winners into losers
- stop out to see it turn into a win (5/n)
