If you want to be a great trader, don't concentrate on performance... focus on sticking to sound rules. Can you religiously cut your losses, protect your profits, avoid extended risky stocks, avoid dog shit beaten up stocks, sit out as long as it takes during volatile markets, and never add to a losing position??? WILL YOU??? When you can say yes to EVERY ONE of those questions for AT LEAST A YEAR, then the performance will follow. Until then, huge trading success will nothing more than a hit or miss affair, and at some point you will think to yourself "maybe I don't have what it takes." No! No!! No!!! You just haven't fully committed to a sound plan and abandoned all your bullshit excuses. With one decision, in an instant that can all change today. Commit to trading like a champion.
