I’m wondering about the difference between breaking your rules when a trade is going with you vs. breaking your rules when a trade is going against you.

You might be inclined to break some rules when you’re “winning” since “hey, I’m up anyway”, but we need those big wins to balance against the big losses we have every once in a while… or at least to push us into the higher returns we’re looking for.

Rules are rules for a reason. (1) they seem to of worked in the past and (2) it’s much better for our psychies to blame the rules when things go bad than to blame ourselves.

You made a profit Ugly and you sold half several times. You should be happy that you stuck to your rules and made money.

they are in my head - I don’t want to post them to this site because I don’t want someone to enter the rules into an automated computer trading system and take away my profits. Seriously.
Although I vaguely give hints from time to time about these rules.
But I will sell them to you (in the form of a 2-page pdf) for the low low price of $999. You can send the money via paypal to ugly@uglychart.com
