Definitely something to read and think about every single day before you enter the battlestation....
"If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much." - Jim Rohn
After Perfectionism, I would like to point out the subtle trap of Consistency!!
Be consistent with your approach, habits and methods, but making widgets out of every market analysis and trying to robotically execute is a silent killer!!!
There are two aspects I battle daily... one that stokes my ego that says 'You have gone pro, baby' which sets up a sure sore losing trade as if to remind me.
The other is the always haunting Anxiety when entering or when in a trade.
Anxiety buster that I use daily (using a pen and paper):
I made money yesterday, but the day before I had five losing trades in a row.
All of them were ES longs in a raging bull market (yesterday the market traded both ways, this is about the day before), but all of them were stopped out.
But I am not proud of those five trades, I took them in 'wrong' places - I lost a little in each, so not an expensive lesson.
But many a time losers happen and there isn't anything I would have done differently in each of those trades - - they are variance' way of saying that the market is the market.
You need to be you.
Every trader is unique and different which is why there are so many varied methodologies making money.
Genuineness. Trade from the heart. (and once that happens there won't be emotional trading anymore)
