Quote from The Swordsman:
I'm not sure what staying positive (ie markets rallying) has to do with staying positive in ones own trading? I can be very positive in my mental state of trading in a strong selling off market. One does not need the markets to rally for one to have a positive mental state. Trading is all about taking advantage of opportunities.
Agreed 100%
And that is why this thread and the OP is totally misguided.
