  5. Mindfulness makes you a better trader and improves your p&l, because it forces you to look to what you really do to mess up your trading.
    here you are expressing your difficulties in taking your losses. the meditation has allowed you to identify the way you do it: you filter out adverse informations, and only look for confirming information. now, you could do this experiment, that you can only achieve thanks to meditation : what happens after your trade is filled, and just before you start the cognitive dissonance behaviour ?
    what happens during this split second that shift you into the cognitive dissonance?

  8. "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle really opened my eyes on mindfulness. Now one of my favorite books. Recommended.
