I don't want to diversify my trading and my life, I just want to be better, I want to be disciplined and consistent in everything I do ...

One thing I do want to mention here .....
New information or knowledge etc, is usually an agent of change. There is no escaping it. For people who are chasing the superficial, then this thread may not be for you. None of this is about how to "succeed" or "get rich" or anything so shallow. To me the pic below represents what "that stuff" is really all about .....
In my experience in Life, to learn you have to move outside what you're comfortable with. If you want everything dumbed-down to its 'simplest form' then you're not learning, you're merely storing information for future regurgitation. And by doing it this way, later on you won't understand the context of what can be learned. That's NOT learning - has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with learning. That is a just a lazy, disinterested, unmotivated and uninspired attempt to make progress. There are three ways a person learns - forwards, backwards and sideways. But if you choose to hold onto all your assumptions then you cannot move forward.
The difference between me and others around, is, I speak from experience, real learning, real life review and reapplication for FURTHER review. And I realized a long time ago, that without asking the hard questions, there is no point in trying to learn something. This is why in trading terms, the status quo is so acceptable to people - both young AND old(er). Hihihi. People don't want to accept just how much of what they "think" is knowledge, is really just heightened information. I don't expect you to just believe me, that's why when you put it to the test in real life, you will see, your observations tell you a completely different story than the story your brain wants to continuously try and make up,,,,. based on its limited information and perception.
So I welcome all who want to learn and those who are skeptical. Just like your equity curve, your learning curve can be either shallow or steep. But your excuses and "story telling" and justifications are there to give you a specific signal about YOU, about LIFE and about the future.
In all of the posts I have offered so far, there is a 'path'. But I learned the hard way many years ago, that no two people CHOOSE to learn the same way. Some choose to learn voluntarily but the other people choose to learn by force of circumstance. Some might call it openness vs stubbornness. NOT gullibility vs protection out of fear, No. Calm openness vs stubbornness re: true motivations.
I cannot put it any plainer or simpler than that.
For you, this might be new information, but just because it seems foreign to you and makes you uncomfortable is no reason to dismiss it. I'm merely offering what I have learned .... about me, about people and about trading inline with people and money and society. No smokes and mirrors or mind games here. Put in the effort and time and you will see.
I hope that helps.

{quote} Peter what might be a difference with approach 1 and 2...? Do we understand approach same way? Sorry problem always is a language... It is not about approach itself it is about the "quality" of approach this one, which represent yours. Is your approach honest or not... what I mean honest I understands honest as ready to put effort and accept postpone gratification ... Anyway, all it is about the truth... Just finished read next post of yours ... well have nothing to add or comment, all for me is obvious... you probably did not mention only...
If you look closely, it's about all of it.
Honest - Good feeling to be productive
Truthful - Good, Bad and Ugly All Together
From my experience, you cannot pursue what cannot be chased.

If it is standing right behind you, while you face away from it, but you think you're facing it, how can you chase it?

If it is RIGHT behind me I do not need to chase it because it is here... but everything is in motion ... how about string breaks? Is this still behind me...What I have to do then?
