I'll try to be less objective. Don't worry. There is an evil side of me that loves to gamble also. I try to put that sucker in a locked box, but it escapes from time to time. Charles
do what ur system tells u to do.......if it is not dependable work on it until you have real confidence in it....a 20 pt capture would cover at least 4 bad trades for my system.....think about the risk/reward ratio......I certainly admire your tenacity .....and courage....seriously.....I had that once....and am rebuilding emotionally as we speak....
Charles, I too have the gambling thrill just beneath the surface. That is why I developed a pure mechanical system with extremely high accuracy and extremely low risk....4 1/2 yrs. to develop....if it continues to final backtest as has for last 2 weeks, I will be through testing, thank God......then the emotional repair must take place. Confidence is in place, just the million pictures I have seen with most of them telling me something about this market......the names I have been called mean nothing anymore, the ego is non existent, the big mouth boasting about what i am going to do, or woulda, coulda, shoulda, done is history.....part of learning this business......stops are one of the biggest issues to deal with....I have that resolved.....not bragging...Paid a huge price for everything I know about my system and this market......I would never recommend to anyone that they pursue it as I have...I wanted perfection and am close but that is not advisable to pursue.....just find one market and a good system and trade it....and grow the skills...loneliness is the only reason I post here.......I would love to give JMowery and others my system but it is only for my family.....would you give away the family fortune? to strangers?
