I tend to agree. I am constantly evaluating and balancing risk, there is no such thing as only taking the perfect setup. I trade for a living in an uncertain environment, consequently drawdowns are a fact of life, not trading creates it's own drawdown in the form of overheads. Many times I have gone to sleep with my positions up only to wake up with them now deep in the red, that takes some real mental gymnastics to remain centred. It is not that I am distressed as I have good risk management but rather constantly under preasure to perform. I believe that this is a trading reality as several other full time traders I know experience a similar reality, learn to deal with it.
