i look at loser trades as an opportunity to find out what i didn't know about what i thought i knew, or as an opportunity to find out what i thought i knew wasn't what the market "knew", or finally as an opportunity to find out i just don't understand everything I think i know.
added: also winners are simply confirmation that i was in synch with the market on several levels... timing, direction, etc. i'm not my losers, but i'm not my winners either... (probably should use the word "gain or gainers" instead of winners... different implications there)
along that line, here's a great post i saw a few weeks ago from a trader i don't know, but bookmarked anyway. the first comment from Trout is what turned me onto the posting. I've followed his (Trout) postings here pretty closely since I first joined this thing. i'm out for the day now...
One thing, if you take the time to read the post, i think you'll find it worthwhile to read ALL the comments.
cheers and a good weekend all. watch out for the closing...
