There's people like me that... when it comes to picking girlfriends and trades, they have been used to challenge all their life, trained to race, that if you have it all set up for you and all you have to do is pick the money or the girl, you don't go for it. You'd rather go for an almost impossible girl or trade. As a consequence, you end up being without a woman, because those who want you are not desirable, and with a negative balance because the easy trades are not attractive, and you always end up going for a very risky reckless trade.
It's a habit that I can't manage to get rid of. As soon as a woman wants me, I am not interested anymore. The only girlfriend I had that lasted a year, it was because she kept on leaving me every two months. That was perfect. And she left me, because after she was granted, I started appreciating her less.
Now, with trading, it so happens that I have a system that does all things that have to be done to make money. All I have to do is program it (which is done), turn it on and let it run. So what do I do? I try to make an extra buck on the side with my own trades, which most of the time win, but when they go wrong, they make me lose everything, or half of my capital, because I can't apply the stoploss. Because, stupidly enough, I am trained to never quit. So I don't even quit a losing trade.
Let's forget the deal about girls, because I am not really sure about all the implications of what I said. But with trading I need to change fast. I have got to let the system run and stop seeking challenges, because that is exactly what will make me lose money.
Anyone else has a similar problem?
