Best book to rewire me to follow my trading plan

[pak]

I was never wired to do any of those suggestions, some people can't be like Spock. Men don't change unless there is pain in one way or another. I did(do) hypnosis now but in beginning I did a tens unit strapped on my thigh, knob goes from 0-10, when I "just knew" I had to violate my rules, turned that sucker quickly up to 5, and only needed that couple more times and never used that again for pain management, then hypnosis and still go. So now I write down all times I want to go against my rules into "Dumb" journal and I am wrong over thousands of trades 95% of the time. I still believe in tens unit for helping with pain on have in back, and think it is an ideal way to curb times of not doing trading plan, if married or GF, let them give you zaps. They will volunteer eagerly.

Had nothing to do with systems I developed as I believed in the methods, but it was just I was not used to becoming a robot. Automation really the best way to go, by the time you have several of them going, even your interest in trading reduces.

Handle,

“After all you’ve been thru…do you still find yourself “overriding” your strategies at times for real (or do you just keep track in a journal)...and if so, how many times in an average month/year?

Do you believe its just “human nature” or something else-deeper…& what can be done about it…if anything???

Thanks

Hi,

I have a good trading plan. I've backtested the setup and it has positive expectancy if it trader with correct position size.

My problem is that i just cannot stick to my damn trading plan.

I have it printed out but still I deviate. I end up taking incorrect setups and trade too large.

Any tips or book recommendations that would help rewire my mind, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

ps I have read Trading in the Zone

This is an old thread. But I haven't been on this board in a while...

My wife is a psychologist. She can "re-wire" you using EMDR. Look it up if you've never heard of it. It won't fix your trading plan. But it can change *your* programming.

That's very wild claim : can she prove that EMDR works 100% ?
May be she could start paying vendor fees as well to ET, that offers a very good platform to exchange ideas.

Of course not. Nothing is 100%.

BTW, I didn't mean that as a solicitation. I would never share my wife's name with anyone on this site. Too many whack jobs. It is probably against some ethics thing anyway. The point I was trying to make. Look it up and find a doctor that is licensed to do EMDR. It is pretty cool how it works. And re-wiring is a pretty accurate term for what it can do for people.
