DislikedInteresting that you mention that, Nathan.
I've noticed many times that, like you say, when
trades get into any kind of negative territory, that
"truism" will pop into my head wreaking havoc.
The times that I'm able to recognize that this is
just the workings of fear, I'm able to stay objective.
If not, you know what happens. You get shaken out
on just a slight bump in the rainbow. LOL
Can your GF suggest something to bring out the
Lion-Heart and keep us objective when scalping?
That would be awesome!
Have a great day Nathan (and best to your better 1/2 - LOL)

As far as relaxation/hypnosis for trading....it's best to write something yourself and record it(audacity is free or use a voice recorder).
This is for the reason I mentioned. It wasn't what was said in the Mantra that screwed me up, it was my connotation of the way it was worded.
So, if you figure out what you are wanting(the mantra, etc.) paraphrase the whole thing(in your own words) and record it in your own voice and listen to it every day.
I can send you some brain wave entrainment to put in the background, if you want LOL.(here is a link to explain it...http://www.real-hypnosis.com/brainentrainment.html)
