Hi Oldtraderman,
Welcome back!
I've been thinking lately that trading is full of fine lines and balances. A trader must be flexible with his strategy, but not too flexible to shoot random trades, must be calm after a losing trade but not to be careless/emotionless when he loses, must have motivation to get up each day and look at the chart but not to be addicted, must be careful with each trade but not overthinking and keep looking for perfect trades... It feels like walking on a thin rope, the consequence of slightly losing balance is to fall on the ground. How do you manage to keep those balances for such a long time? Is it an art or something?
