Hard to do in the moment. Especially when trading is the only thing going "right" when these issues crop up.<BR/><BR/>I think I did an o.k. job of spotting the issue and reducing size and eventually halting my live trading. I am now really aware of the fact that traders suffer emotional drawdowns as well as dollar drawdowns.<BR/><BR/>LTLord Teddershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08853719769033533263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709646752697007273.post-29403391640016194852009-03-10T08:37:00.000-07:002009-03-10T08:37:00.000-07:00understandable.

I think I took for granted how reliant my trading confidence was on the previous stability of the rest of my life.<BR/><BR/>I still observe the dots, but am not trading them. They are still as profitable as ever (if not more so this year). However, I need to focus on one method and timeframe until I get my confidence back.<BR/><BR/>LTLord Teddershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08853719769033533263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709646752697007273.post-43356025851081832562009-03-10T07:47:00.000-07:002009-03-10T07:47:00.000-07:00Hey Lord,Nice to see you posting again.
