It is a boring cliche for a lot of people, but concentrating on following your process, rather than focusing on the potential income, will help you achieve that outcome. Also, it is very difficult for people to suppress their emotions as to an outcome. What people need to do is ensure that any decisions are taken with as little emotion driving them - such as fear, greed and hope. Get over any emotions before making any further decisions or taking further actions. If such decisions/actions are emotionally driven, then it is possible to compound the original error or issue. The act of decision making needs to made as objectively as possible. The NLP technique of disassociation (observing yourself as another person) can be beneficial in achieving this.Trader Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07875469634283453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26012405.post-66311502755410894942016-09-11T09:12:26.815+01:002016-09-11T09:12:26.815+01:00Hi Steve, thanks for your article!

What stood out for me are 2 things:<br />- Follow your trading rules above anything else<br />- There should be little emotions involved - both for wins and losses<br /><br />Excellent article!Smart Forex Learning - Felixhttp://smartforexlearning.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26012405.post-15905614718053480542016-09-10T16:22:45.928+01:002016-09-10T16:22:45.928+01:00Thanks for your comments Jay.

This is something I'm always thinking about, and will likely try to incorporate some of your ideas about profit cushions. Thanks as well for being so honest with your approach (Hindsight Harry's be damned!) Because as you correctly say, the fact that you stuck to your system is what matters most, after all.<br /><br />Thanks again and have a great weekend!Jayhttp://www.intelligenttrendfollower.comnoreply@blogger.com
