    Whenever I feel uncertainity arises, I open my spreadsheet and glance at the Expectancy of my previous historical trades.

    This gives me the confidence to take the trade, put the stop loss in the right place, and follow my trading management. The same way I have taken those past 100 to 500 trades.
