Interesting story!

Redneck, thanks for the welcome. I am glad to have found this community. Well said RE the mindset!

I agree! This is so true. I have narrowed it down even further. . . My belief is that the single most powerful thing we can do as traders to achieve success is to be kind and supportive to ourselves, inside our mind. I.e. to exhibit positive self talk. I have seen this with many traders, and...
