mine is I often drift away from my plan, maybe for the sake of get rid of boring, maybe for the sake of avoid resposbility, maybe just evil rebelling mind....

what is yours, and your solution?

ACCEPTANCE, market might be showing I should get out with one tick profit, but the greedy sob that I am will sometimes overstay the trade and end up getting nada which is a loss of fees. It is tough sitting here and watching market scream in one direction and I am not on board, but that way of trading for me does not give me daily profits. Have to be patient and wait. Risking 2-3 ticks on most ES trades requires almost perfect entries, but it forces me to accept what I can't control, which in trading is little.

I go for hypnosis few times a year seems to do well for me.
