how key is seeing "green" $ on days end P&L for trading the next day? I believe it is HUGE...even if you get a small "green" $ profit showing on the P&L for the day...get it! It will impact you better than "red" -$ on days end P&L for tomorrows trading... agree, thoughts, comments?
if you are trading with higher amounts than you can really take as a loss- that is your problem to begin with. once you know you are a profitable trader and your system works a day is a day be it red or green. i liken red days to having aces cracked by kings- if you let that affect you day in and day out you shouldn't live in the gray area of gambling we call trading.
I know my method works (strong positive expectancy) and so I implement it exactly the same way everyday, P&L is a byproduct of all my hard work. I don't focus on it, I focus on the method and executing it properly.
You PM'd me and I replied and you never responded. I will give you the Holy Grail of trading. I will dare you to drink from it.
this is bad to admit but I'm with "inky" on this one. I still havent found out how to seperate my feelings from my P/L yet. When I have a bad drawdown day I feel awful for hours. If i have a great day I fell like opening a HF! lol. It's easier said than done for sure. I guess that's how people like John Arnold or Steve Cohen make six figures daily and are still mad cause they should have made more. Sign me up for that.
