I just saw the link posted by monkey and nkhoi...

then saw your post before the closure of that thread...

where you said the following...

If you don't believe it send me PM and I'll arrange to show my trades real-time!.

Was this the first time you were posting your trades in realtime for others to see?

If so...that could be part of a reason why there was so much pressure...a type of pressure that can cause a lot of trading problems.

There are good traders and there are good teachers...

extremely difficult to do both at the same time.

If you do that again...do it for personal reasons and not to prove something to other traders...

because if your wrong...your creating a possible psychological mess that will take a lot longer to recover from than your trading account.

Someone once said to me (it's one of the gems I wrote down to keep)...

"In order to win, you must set yourself big targets or undertakings that you will probably fail and then do your very best to achieve them.

You may achieve some of them, but you will fail to achieve the majority.

But, in the process of trying your best to achieve the targets beyond your reach, you will stretch yourself well beyond that which you believed possible.

By continually stretching yourself in this way you will win!"

Someone had to tell you that G'Power?

Yeah right.

It was part of motivational group thingy I went to once, and I wrote it down because it was a great quote.. Sometimes, having someone else tell you what you already know makes it stick a little better :)

Quote from IN2WIN:

Thank you for your input.

Actually I have no problem "losing" per say, I have a some losing trades every day. I'm just not used to large uncontrolled losses I had while first getting myself emotionally set to deal with being on view, so to speak.

Than God, I seem to have gotten past the initial ego shock and seem to be back on track.

I don't judge my performance on having a "winning" or losing trade or day; I judge it on how disciplined I was in following my system.

I know that is where the real long term "magic" is in producing consistent, predictable results.

Getting back on track has gotten the account back to where it was, and with the markets help, it will up for the month on 7/31.
