I think it was Marty Schwartz who admitted that he doesn't do well after a streak. He does one thing is on Jan 1, he starts at 0. I think this can be done week to week and extract money from the account to keep your feet on the ground. When I started doing this, the giving back become less habitual.
Did you find that you were over trading or oversizing your trades only because your P/L was larger? And was this affecting your trade style (i.e. the psychology of how you take / exit trades)?
