Madafas, Enjoyed your post. I have done a lot of trading in my time and I found that the more my assets grew, the less I wanted to trade. The best advice I ever read on looking at the markets was - " a bear market has a different SOUND than a bull market ", God that is so true. Selah, Voltaire

Hi Madafas, Well written and thought out article. I wonder how many of us find that the: Would of, could of, and should of(s), were the result of being sidetracked by our own self image or lack of planing? How many times did we say: Why did that happen and what is it that I can learn and express from that experience? How many times did we ignore our own internal wisdom if favor of some external consideration? Getting it together and focusing on our main objective. Do we have one? Is it simply make money? How specific were we when we made our trading decisions? Did we say: What if this doesn't turn out as hoped? Did we have a specific entrance and exit position? How can we do better? What do we do with "us" every time we go into the arena? Do we come away better for it? How do we measure that? The discipline we were able to use? The method? The attitude? The money we won or lost? Do we see ourselves as obsessive if we lose? Highly focused if we win? :) How do we treat others and how affected are we with the results of our activity or lack thereof? To what degree is our trading and or investing an extension of what we see and do with us? How do we affect and how does our significant others relate to "our thing"? Can we make those of us who wish to explore this aspect of trading better equipped to reach their own potential? Will a book of this kind address these questions? Time for me to order from Amazon.com. Keep asking: Why? "What can we learn from this?"....(compliments and credit to Dr. David's insightful PM) Regards, QT
