Re: How best to fight the mental game...

tin - thanks for sharing, that was a good read.

For me, this part of the biz is the hardest part - realizing that you will never take maximum profits all the time. I'm not **** in many things in my life, but my trading biz is one of those things that I constantly want to improve on and take to even a higher level. Of course, just taking more profits when they are there is the simple solution, right?

One question tin (not sure if this thread is best or not) - how do you define 'weakness' when you are in a profitable trade and looking to consider a quick exit? Like I mentioned in the other thread, I am terrible at trailing (or maybe it's just the whole premise that doesn't sit well with me) and would be curious how you quickly flatten a position.
