in trading, you can't control what the market will do.. no matter how much you want the market to go in a certain direction.. there is nothing you can do to make it go in that direction. there is no affect that you can cause on the market to make it do what you want it to do.. nothing we do will make the market do what we want it to.. nothing at all..

so if we can't control the market and what it will do.. the only thing that will make us successful is if we can control ourselves.. and that's easier said than done. but it is the reality of successful trading. again, you can't control what the market will do, so you must control what you will do..
