If you've ever seen the film Sliding Doors you know it's essentially about the decisions we make, and the different courses our lives take as a result.
So this week I was doing pretty well until I made one wrong decision. This took me from a large (for me anyway) winning week of 80+ points to just a very, very average week and a meagre 13 points, but not just that. I had a little mental melt down and acted in a way I am not proud of. I didn't burn my account or anything but I did tear up my trade log in anger. I took the picture in a moment of clarity to remind me never to act like that again, and if I feel like I am about to, to stop what I am doing and 'think'.
Anyway, I calmed down, finished the week out and only ended with a small loss, and a new perspective on what I need to do to address my psychology not just in trading, but in life.
