Good point! One of my major stress points has been a compulsion to nail the
major turns and feeling a sense of loss if I allowed a market to "get away"
from me. With all that stress on nailing the turns, I then felt reluctant to
take profits along the way. I've become far more willing to trade in and out
of a trend and this has significantly lowered my stress levels. This has
essentially meant breaking the "big trades" into a series of smaller trades
and just nibbling away at the pie.
