That was an EXCELLENT post Tingull! I appreciate your input.

I have realized something about trading. Not only do you learn the setups, the markets , patterns, tape etc. You also learn about your self. Your strength, your weaknesses, hopes and fears. I've learned what kind of person I am. A trader once said if you want to get an idea of what kind of trader your going to be,a disciplined one or not, take a look at yourself in your daily life. It may show up in your trading.

The biggest obstacle to success is your-self, at least in my case. I feel SO close to crossing the Rubicon. Just a few steps away to becoming consistently profitable I have the setups, I have the trading plan and risk management in place. I've even identified my impulse trades and eliminated them. The discipline fades in and out but I am getting better. But I still manage to take the losing trades and always seem to " miss out" on the trades that would have been winners. I am also still a victim of my own fears. After a wining trade or 2 losing trades in a row I get fearful and often let a winner go buy.

If you know anybody who wants to learn about them self, tell them to try trading because when you do you will be face to face with yourself.
