Re: Hot Streak

I think I get sloppy with the more wins than expected and started thinking every setup was a sure fire win. I started seeing setups where none existed. Basically I get out of my trading plan. The larger equity keeps telling me "it's ok... you still have so and so to PLAY with." That statements just kills my streak almost immediately and I've caught myself saying that. So when I start clearing out to 0, I have a better objective without the cocky cushion money to play with. Every trade could be my last trade with 0 so I stay attentive and defensive.
