12 Thoughts on Trading Stress and Emotion

Your 12 point list directly addresses the point that MSmailbox seems to be missing. 'Becoming a very poor trader' is not something like catching a cold. I believe one is either improving through accurate record keeping and learning from mistakes or alternatively relying on the 'hope and pray method'.

Of course this person could be trading Olive Oil futures and I may be completely wrong.
