'Attachment, the great fabricator of illusion' -- Simone Wiel --

Attachment to micro-level monetary performance is nothing more than a manifested absurdity! This absurdity defies the very nature of the game, but ironically is in complete and utter accord with the human condition. The wise trader will see the folly in this action. He will transcend profit/loss and detach himself from the micro results. In this way he will obtain true clarity and an impenetrable centeredness within the realm of the present moment (trade).

THIS IS MY TRUTH

"If you are only as disciplined as your last 'trade', and if the outcome of your last 'trade' (past) influences your next 'trade' (present), you are still trading your last 'trade' and not trading in the moment."

You see it, hear it, smell it, feel it. To love the plateau is to love the eternal now, to enjoy the inevitable spurts of progress and the fruits of accomplishment, then serenely to accept the new plateau that waits just beyond them. To love the plateau is to love what is most essential and enduring in your life."

George Leonard -- Mastery

hmmm...

Centered in the present moment, focused in the present trade, loving the plateau... It sounds like psycho consistency!
