    I'm the most consistent trader in the world

    did you ever try graphing your profits and loss; it confirms what youalready know but seeing it in B&W anyway helped me with the ol taking winners too early, and holding onto losers longer, funny, knowing i had to "answer" to something, the graph, even though it was myself, made me hold...
