I think there were a few very good comments made in this thread. I had massive discipline and anger issues - actually throwing shit around my office when in bad trades....Took a break, finally wrote a trading plan and decided on a very selective list of trades to follow... I don't get angry any more. I take every trade that fits my criteria, and accept that there is a certain amount of money that it will cost me to find out if the idea is valid. Basically in my head I no longer have that amount of money, and I can only get it back if my idea works out....So I don't stress, and if i take a loss it is only because the market did not make the money availible to me at this very moment.....that's it. If I take 3 losing trades in a row - done for the day. Making it back - nah....There's nothing to make back, you ran your business and this just happened to be the day you had to pay some bills.... When the right setups come back up, I will be involved and i will make money. Why stress.???
