    For what ever reason you are more likely to follow your plan if it's in writing rather than just in your mind.

  8. i like the details i think someone who comes in market with the mindset of making money will ended up blowing accounts and if someone who still sticks in the market despite every worst pain and emotional damage will automatically develop a mindset which no one can take from them.
