Re: Just One of Those Days

Yeah! nicely put. For me I have to quantify as much as possible to see things objectively. If you can test your ideas and quantify them, then in the back of your head you know that there is an advantage to following your rules.
Then it's simple. Take small loses when you're wrong. Know where you will exit profits.

Personally I don't believe there are too many out there that can just "trust intuition" and make money consistently. Why? Because your intuition/gut feeling is not consistent! As humans our moods are affected by such a variety of factors, how can you trust that?

I have to quantify and then follow the rules. Then just make tons of donuts.
