my humble thoughts to this just found relic,,:)
Please google the following
1- 10,000 hour rule
2- Edward L. Bernays. (He was Sigmund Freud's Nephew)
3- W. Edwards Deming Key principles & Seven Deadly Deseases) especially on setting quotas and apply those that will enhance your trading.. thus why set 20 pips a day as example..?.. Me, I take what the market gives when IT wants .. and take the losses comfortably as SL are well thought out.
4- Beleive in yourself and don't try to prove you are right to "others" .. Each trader in the market has points to teach ME .. Use the standards that G-D gave us.. One mouth and 2 ears.. use them in that proportion ..
BTW> humbly, over 25,000 hours here, only for Forex trading
Good trading to all
