You did say your timeframe is years :D

It WAS years, I don't have that many of them left.

All traders if they live long enough will end in ruin.

It's just a mater of what happens first.

We'll see 50 here after that ...i'll let you know :)

Now that I've cleared my head of nonsense like forcing each trade to profit 60 or 100pips I see with clarity. Know what price is doing and why it's doing it. It is not about 60 pips profit, it's about accepting what each trade will give you! Do NOT want to get into a rigid mindset. I want to remain nimble, change mind a second after a trade is placed. (Hopefully that won't happen too often) get the point?

yeah I get the point. That's why I don't like to get close to anybody. I like to be able to change my mind without feeling responsible.

It was a real bitch when I was a stockbroker and you would finally get the last guy long and then realize it was a better idea to get short.

After a while though, you get to looking at your performance and realize your intuition was right about 50% of the time. Then you start putting all your hope in math.

In the end it's a bet on what will be right, math or your intuition?

I try very hard to be an atheist, but the best advice I got was from a Hindu who was explaining to his wife who couldn't understand why he was not worried when he was in a very bad drawdown. He simply said, "If God wants me to make money I will make money."
