Hi Highlander i would share my opinion. If you feel nervous when you have a string of winners, just follow your guts, decrease your trading positions, when you'll feel more comfortable increase it! this is psychology, do what you feel, if you are ...

So with "back to fundamentals" you mean, back to the basics, not fundamental analysis? Am i right? :nerd:

if you guys prefer you can talk about it in the thread, no problem, if you prefer keeping it private, i understand!
