I am always saying “all is well” and everything is gonna be alright. Coz we cannot change the past & need to fit for future activities with a positive mind.
That’s a good approach and mindset to have.
LOL. I think Hugh has a blog post about porn and trading that you might be interested in checking out.
First of all, I tell myself that I am imperfect. Even when I work really hard, I sometimes make mistakes. This does not discourage me because I know that I made those mistakes because I am imperfect. SO, I keep trading everyday without worries even after losing. Losing is part of life and no matter how good you are, you can avoid it. As for me, my gains are far bigger than my loss, so why should I worry too much. This is actually what motivates me. Sometimes, when my head is hot, I just take a shower and tune in some blues to keep my head cool.
My motivation is a new BMW, which I want to buy.
If you have a good FX traders, it is not difficult.
What do you tell yourself not to revenge?
- i always say, thats where my bad luck went, leave it be coz its bad luck. for some reason it helps.

- i set my mind before i sit infornt of my PC that this is my limit for today! and win or lose i shall not exceed. and stick to is
What do you tell yourself to stick to the plan and keep the journal?
- i have a sticky note, on my monitor for such reminders. and i make it a habit to stick to my plans.
Do you have a routine you follow each morning to put you “in the zone” before start trading?
- 2 sticks of marlboro cigarets and 2 cups of heav yet creamy coffee, and maybe some nora jones music, if not nora i listen to metallica
Do you hit hard your hands when you take a trade you are not suppose to take?
- no, there is no looking back, when you take it you take it, win or lose just let it be and move on. just like a emotionless robot.
I hope i answered your questions
