Your recovery period defines you

I am consistently profitable but an average trader at best. In terms of technical ability I am no different to any other speculator out there but what sets me apart and puts me ahead is my recovery period between mistakes.
A poor trader takes too long dwelling on mistakes and analysing what went wrong. Always looking backwards.
A great trader swiftly releases irrational thoughts and positions for the next opportunity. Always looking forward.

You have a choice. Which one do you choose to be?
