Disliked{quote} Nice mate :-) IMO almost every tendency we have as humans is contrary to good trading discipline. Overtrading has been my major enemy in the past and I have consciously taken steps to control that propensity. Whenever I am about to enter I force a break where I evaluate the why? I continually remind myself that I can still catch every real trend even if I delay my entry and psychologically that seems to do the trick.Ignored
I think that if you're comfortable with your system/plan, then automatically you will stick to it.
for instance right now I'm trading small trends, it is AMAZING because I don't have to get "married" to a position for long... so why should I overtrade ?
When I overtrade that means I don't know exactly what I'm doing.
the logical part of myself will say "lose fast, cause there is a better system out there". it's actually a good thing.. as long as I trade with money that I can afford to lose.
IMO what we really need is to be aware of our sensations, a sensation includes all senses.
If I sense that my plan s**ks I should be aware of that sensation, or if I lack faith in statistics, then I would simply rinse and repeat until I'm completely satisfied with my plan.
btw faith simply needs to be unlocked and set free, we all have it.
