Ahhhh. Let me explain. I enjoy my trading. I look forward to it. I enjoy
the research. It's not everything in my life tho.
Once I sit down to trade, I shift gears emotionally. I try to strip out as
much emotion as I can. When I'm trading my fulfillment comes from trading
my plan with as minimal emotional interference as possible. That's how I
define a good trading day, not in terms of dollars gained or lost. Some
folks have described that as dry and boring. There's no place for emotion
in trading (except for a little bit of fear maybe to act as a little safety
voice in your ear). It'll get you into all kinds of trouble really quickly.
Regards,
Mike
