What you said, "trying to make myself feel more certain before making a decision" describes it perfectly. I have come to find I am the type of trader that wants to put probability on my sidd

Hi @FrankFrankie

I don't believe there's anything inherently wrong about being "more certain", i.e. wanting to put probability on your side, as long as you don't want to put absolute certainty on your side, which would not be appropriate for one of the most risky endeavors in the world. I hope it makes sense.

About confidence, I struggled too with it years ago.

Because I am an analytical person, I decided the way to boost my confidence was to dissect, segment and track my trades, and confidence hasn't been a problem since.

I described that approach in this thread:



Trade analysis may or may not be something for you to consider, it all depends on how your mind works (by that I mean everyone is different and no approach will work for everyone), but if it is helpful, I am happy to expand should you have any questions.
