Hi Jeff,
"I want the truth!" demanded the Lietenant.
"You can't handle the truth!" hollered the Colonel.
It was one of the most dramatic courtroom scenes ever.
Tom Cruise, playing a Navy Lawyer, went after Jack
Nicholson in the movie "A Few Good Men."
But it's also something we need to ask ourselves as
traders.
Do we want the truth about ourselves? Or the more personal
question: Can you handle the truth?
Because the answer to that very intimate question holds
the key... to whether you'll be able to master your
psychological challenges that get in the way of being
a high-profit trader.
As you know, trading goes by the 80/20 rule:
It's 80% psychology, and only 20% trading method.
If you haven't evaluated what's going on inside your
head, if you haven't mastered your inner demons...
It's not your fault!
Many traders shy away from the psychology part, because
it means coming to grips with parts inside each of us
that are not always pleasant.
Sometimes the truth hurts.
Can you handle the truth?
Until you can, you will be limiting yourself. So let
me ask you again:
Can you handle the truth?
Here's a valuable video that challenges you to do
just that:

P.S. - Psychology rules trading, more than method, more
than money management, more than luck. You must deal
with your psychology if you are EVER going to maximize
your profits, so watch the video.

Well speaking of psychology....
I did an experiment the last week. Learned a few things about myself
and what other traders have said.
I switched my trading method. The only thing I did was use one order
instead of two. What I realized is it caused some emotions to take over.
Some people think it is greed. I think it is fear.
When I would have a substantial profit I didn't take profit. I sat there and
watched it go back to zero. When I was in draw down, I sat there and
watched it hit my stoploss.
I believe using one order caused a "fear of missing a move".
It also affected my entries. I made entries off timed a lot. The mind is a
powerful tool when it comes to trading.
