Folks,

a quick point on emotions

Dont fall in love with making 4%
in a day. If you're up 50 pips, dont fall in love with that.
If you're account just broke 100K or whatever, dont fall in love
with that either.

If you do, you will be trading differently out of fear or greed.
This is especially tempting at the end or beginning of a
week, or if we behind a little. Friday afternoons
and sunday evening will kill you.

We start making trades so we can reach a certain level
or make a daily quota, or whatever. ...INSTEAD of
making good trades!!!

Dont do this. And if you do do it, try to ch yourself
before you lose too much money. I caught myself
doing this at the end of this week and it was
hard to stop myself from trading but eventually
I shut down the computer with some respectable
gains since Sunday.

Trading this way, to reach a certain goal, can roast your
account. Just take good trades, follow your system
and be happy with whatever the market brings
you at the end of the day, week, month...

Keep developing systems and try to improve but don't
get caught up in trying to force the market to give
you a certain return.
