The hard road to consistency

Quote from danielc1:

When I started to trade, I learned a very good lesson about consistency that is still helpfull today for me:

I had to change my believe from good or bad, related to the outcome in money, too following the rules of my system. I had to reward myself for following the system no matter what the outcome was in regards to money. I could only do that, by giving up money goals in the short term and start setting goals about not making a mistake on my trading rules.

The goals I set where personal things I loved to do or hate to do.
For example: If I follow al my rules today, I will reward myself with a new book I want. Or If I do not follow al my rules, I will clean the garage this weekend.

Simple but effective...

and trade small. Practice your execution. It comes first. Analysis second

I notice your size changes slightly from trade to trade, is that based on account size? or probablility of the set up?

It's based on the type of the setup. 1min setups have a lower risk than 5 min ones.
The size is also adjusted at the end of the month based on the account size.
