Thanks for the links Ravin, they actually helped a lot. I am currently reading Mark Douglas Trading in the Zone. It's a great book but I haven't seen anything where he gives you any ideas on how to achieve the consistent attitude that he talks about so often in the book. Maybe it's at the end and I haven't gotten there, but I sort of doubt it. I like the idea of setting a set loss/profit limit and trading until I hit those limits.
.
You will get to a point where Douglas recommends an exercise (I think its in Zone and not his first book). One book I really like that deals with the ego and trading is http://www.amazon.com/Zen-Markets-Ed...6960670&sr=1-1 its pretty slim but quite a powerful message.
