I think that your home run analogy is off. I judge my success by hoe much my portfolio gains over the course of a year. I notice that most of the time most of my gains come from a few stocks and the rest is just noise or losses. I try to discipline myself into thinking I need only one good trade a year. Of course boredom doesn't allow me to stick to that but still I find it a useful mindset. So far this year in my trading account I'm up about 400% but take away asnd rmbs and gnt and I'm in the red.
