I really think that's one of the toughest hurdles to get past (at least for me). Actually I haven't done so bad, break-even at least. But I would be WELL into profit area, were it not for just a few bad moves. The other day I went back and checked all my trades, one by one. I'm at a nearly 90% win rate, with the size of the average win being a bit larger than the size of the average loss. So that WOULD mean a really good profit... WERE IT NOT FOR those very small handful of trades that I stubbornly refused to let go of. Lesson learned. After going over all the trades like that, and seeing how stupid I was, I think I've kicked that bad habit.
