++[[Day 51>>https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugz8RYqcnfwEld5wXy14AaABCQ]] - It is a frozen view from my window this morning.  The early sunlight reflects off the snow and my light sensitivity begins to build in my eyes.  I try to take in as much as I can before reaching for my glasses.
++
++I woke this morning with the thought of how some people, recent times at least, have become monsters.  Self-centered myopic selfish mutants... yes, I believe that comes very close to how I would describe some.
++
++The kind that have no ability to control their opinions on matters that would do more harm to a relationship, than to foster trust or openess.  For a Mentor and Student relationship... this is crucial.
++
++Submission to learning is hard for some.  Some can't do it... as they, their beliefs, indifference, personality flaws will no doubt... do them in.  These are unteachable Folks... because they think they know and they do not.
++
++An experienced Teacher understands reasonable and respectful inquiries or concerns in their Students.  This is expected and part of the lifecycle of development... and must be balanced & nurtured by the Teacher.
++
++The Student should always be respectfully considerate to the Teacher.  There is nothing more destructive to a learning experience than to see a student correcting the teacher, through the lens of ignorance.
++
++This supposes the student is more experienced and need not submit to the process.  The Teacher who is offended will lose interest in the development of one like this... and they leave them in their ignorance.
++
++Is it cruel or cultlike for the Teacher to expell or turn away from a student like this?  No.
++
++Not to, would only stunt the growth of the ready students... those who collect wisdom, respectfully refrain from needless outbursts and disruptive criticism made from a low vantagepoint.
++
++Prior to sitting down for this comment section public meditation; I was asked in email what type of person finds consistency as a Trader.  I was pleased to receive a question like that... and I answered them.
++
++My response was as follows...
++
++Firstly, they must understand themselves and have control and discipline.
++
++Secondly, they must have a sound understanding of the market.
++
++After that...
++
++One who is patient, organized, not given to impulsiveness, understands losing is part of it, trusts their model... even when it might not be followed correctly by them or that it gets it incorrect from time to time.
++
++Finally, one who does not overleverage, overtrade or forget to take partials along the way.  One who finds contentment in "enough".
++
++Consistency will overtake the one who does this.
++
++As you were...

++
++Hello Constant Reader,
++
++It is Saturday... once more.
++
++Time to reflect on what has been done, what should have been done, but wasn't... and to leave the things done incorrectly behind you.  Let your baggage be light.  It is easy to carry regrets on your trading and beat yourself up, when you do it wrong.
++
++You, should see things like this.  It is a weight that will hold you down and slow your development.  Each of us are human, as such, we will make mistakes.  Even though many of you look up to me, in high regard, I am not immune to mistakes.  So invite them in, they showcase your opportunity to improve.
++
++Contrast that with the thought process that many hold, concerning losing or mistakes.  The common misconception is that elite Traders are perfect or never get stopped out, or always see their targets hit... and quite possibly that they have no need for a stop loss.  This is nonsense and I can tell you that I am not able to lump myself into that fantasy... and neither will you.
++
++Trying to be perfect, without loss or any measure of drawdown... only brings that very thing.  Fear clouds the minds of Traders and it need not be.  If you would just relax and allow the natural process of wins overtaking losses, you will see there is nothing to worry about.  It does not mean you can not trade.  It does not mean you are less than you should be.  It does not mean you have a broken model or approach.  It simply means you are doing something that will yield losses from time to time... nothing more.
++
++The issue that arises in the minds of those plagued with "pursuit of perfection", is that they place too much emphasis on the next trade.  It must be profitable or "else".  Stop and think about that... because you know you have done this to yourself... more than once.  :)
++
++What is "else"?  There will be no future opportunities?  Your trading model expires?  You lose interest in the markets?  What makes the next trade a must have profit or "else"?
++
++Your unrealistic thinking is what makes it so.  I want to gently remind you that this is not a requirement to succeed in trading.  It never was, and here is comforting news... it never will be.
++
++If you can trust me on this advice, you will find it liberating to allow losses to come in when they do.  You will not meet them with a war mentality... you will see them as a cost to pay to avoid total ruin.  The minor inconvenience of losing trades should be like a small papercut.  Sure, it isn't on your list of things you want to do today... but it will not stop you from doing what you need to do.  Regardless of the minor sting it presents you - every time you press against it, the day and its tasks still get done.
++\\Why is there pain?  It is to remind you that the thing you allowed to happen or you endured... was not good for you.  Perhaps you mindlessly ran your finger down the edge of a fresh sheet of paper in your note taking... and as a result your finger was the recipient of a small paper cut.  Is the fact that your finger receiving the papercut more of a pressing matter than the rest of the things you must do that day?  No.
++
++In the same thought... how about the notes that piece of paper had on it... is this flawed logic now?  Remember, the paper holding the notes has just injured your finger.  There needs to be reparations... or no?  Obviously, when you see it like this, it is amusing and hard to find logic in thinking like this.  However, it is precisely the same logic you have when you make the next trade a must have profit... or "else".
++
++You will lose.  Accept it.  Losing is not defeat.  It is not forced retirement as a Trader.  It is part of the lifestyle you chose to live now.  Why wage war against the adversary that is meant to be your ally?  You can't defeat the loss in the offing, that has yet to visit you.  You need not fear it... you simply set a plate at your table for it, and serve it when it arrives.
++
++How?  Manage it in a manner that does not elevate it as the Master of your house.  You are the Master of your house and your house is Trading your model.  If you allow a single loss to decide your continuation as a Trader or belief in your model to diminish, you are not the Master of your house... you have given that role to your loss.
++
++Where is the strength or logic in this?  It escapes sound reasoning and invites defeat.  More than defeat... it is surrender.  You are essentially saying that your next trade has to be profitable or "else" you aren't ever going to succeed.  You do not admit this at the time you enter the trade... but the leverage and mindset about the absence of a stop loss, come hell or high water you will take something out as a gain.  Leaving no room to permit imperfection... and you wonder why you are stressed in the trade?
++
++The sound logic is this...
++
++"I can accept a result that is not favorable.  If I follow my model, manage the risk impeccably, manage the position and take partials along the way... I will be fine.  Or "else", I will need to endure needless pain and exaggerated drawdown, of which I was the sole responsible party."
++
++See the difference there?  One mindset says... "I have to win or else I fail entirely" and the other recognizes the risk of not following sound Trade & Risk Management protocols and owns the responsibility.  The second mindset is open to imperfection and it sees the losses as a transaction without gain... nothing more.  The first mindset sees any loss as the death blow that ends their Trading career.
++
++Choices... we all have them.  Which mindset do you want to hold fast to in this career?
++
++Choose wisely.
++
++As you were...

++
++If you do that and learn money management, the velocity of that same 10 pips easily overtakes 200:1 myths and fables that get tossed around in social media circles.
++
++It is math Folks... nothing more.
++
++While 200:1 is hopefully panning out, for hindsight discussion, equity is flipping over dozens of times with as little as 10 pips... and 1:1... in the hands of the initiated.
++
++Now the ignorance of those in this industry would have you believe that 1:1 requires a high strike rate to be successful.  This is a lie that people who do not trade live funds with repeat... and everyone just nods and listens and walks away subscribing to this garbage.
++
++Newsflash... and you might want to sit down for this one Folks....
++
++Every single trade ever taken has to be atleast 1:1 to begin with!
++
++If you argue the position you need 1:1 setups to be high strike rate, this is ignoring the fact that the 1:1 threshold is all trades - all times.
++
++The difference is not overleveraging and taking the 1:1 when given and they happen multiple times per day.  Unlike 200, 100, 50, 20, 10:1 gearing on setups.
++
++I can turn 10 pips into whatever I want it to be.  You can too.  I can turn equity over at a high velocity and do it frequently and consistently.  So can you.
