I lost alot in trading as a novice all because of the influence I got from a fellow novice trader. It all happened that this trader was much into giving testimonies about people's trade as he base his trading on fundamental analysis (news) which isn't as effective as a skilled trader...
Bullish sometimes play a bad role to a premature trader mind because if the day of there starting happens to be when there is a high bullish and perhaps they were trading along with the bullish and executed some perfectly the obvious feeling they would start having is the flexibility of getting profits but as they said the longer you are into something the more so many things are unfolding. However what leads to a lot of mistakes from people is dwelling on what other people get when the source to it is unknown to them and before you no is already influencing them and they vulnerably go into it.
