  2. I escape from it. I then go into a deep depression. Then it scars me for life. Unless I forget about it.

    I admit to fear of failure, most people admit it too. Its very common, lots of ways to deal with it.

    Whenever it strikes, i fire up the computer, and look at charts. look at old trades &blotters. See where i went wrong, see what i did right.

    immerse myself until the feeling goes away.
