Thanks, Ubeee, I always enjoy your posts. Sounds like you're way ahead of where I'm at currently, in terms of trading profitably (with a good measure of
consistency).
For me the most difficult part is not mindset, but simply finding non-random patterns in price movement, that recur often enough to provide a decent edge. There are days when I feel I'm making great progress in this respect, and days when I feel I'm no further ahead than when I first started. My biggest obstacle is that I lack accurate test data, hence all of my back-testing is performed manually. Ironic perhaps, considering that writing computer software has been my career since I left high school in 1979.
Best wishes,
David
