@ 11.5k Taking a much needed break for the holidays. I am reading The Market Wizards over the break. I've already read so much about trading that I knew reading this book wouldn't really tell me anything I didn't already know. It's a good read and I think one of the most respected books on the subject, and offers great insight into professional trader minds. I found out a long time ago that experience in trading will teach you much more than words could ever possibly. For the past several months, the only thing that has separated me from the professionals is a few lapses in discipline. Giving back my profits is necessary and helpful for me: This process is slowly grinding away my emotions and we all know once you can cast those to the wind, you can maintain a clear mind and act disciplined and rational.
