Aloha! We are Glenn & Reid, founders of Hawai'i Trading Academy.

Signs of trading on tilt:

  • increasing your risk size above your initial tolerance.

  • a trade that has been adjusted multiple times (2-3).

  • always checking the position.

  • placing trades you wouldn't normally place (either different market conditions or pairs).

  • I don't care, I just need to win my money back.

-You don’t realize how deep of a hole that you’re digging for yourself. Analogy. Delusional focus. A sense of mania

  • “Don’t move the SL after placing the trade” is in your plan, but you move it to let it “breath” > cognitive distance. Your behaviors contradict your beliefs. Letting emotions make the call even though you know your plan is profitable but you lack the discipline to trade.

Actions to take to avoid tilt:

  • Self evaluation

  • go over your current open trades and assess risk. Ask yourself, If all of these trades go against me today, would I be able to handle the loss without emotion? close positions that have you worried/revengeful. If you don’t close those positions, you will have a bigger risk of blowing up your account. *ask the question, if the person is really on tilt, nothing can change their mind.

You need a fire exit. Emergency plan. Have it in the back of your mind, but only use it when necessary. Tilt happens in the moment - Walk away from the computer. Change your environment, to change your thinking . Do an activity that gets your mind off the charts (physical exercise, games, socialization).

-When you get back to the charts, you will have the kneejerk reaction of guilt/ beating/facing the loss yourself for making mistakes.

-our emotions are on a rollercoaster > what happens after TILT? Add CANVA

Guilt > Acceptance..

In ALL traders careers will experience a degree of TILT. Is there a way to minimize it? How do i minute the amount of ties i slip into tilt. We offer many free resources, 1) get into conversation with it, own it, be honest with your self. Acknowledge to move on faster.

Like a roller coaster, you want the drop to happen as fast as possible. Get over the scariest part. Theres going to be a point where you put your hands up and just “enjoy the ride.”
