"The single greatest upgrade to my trading psychology was switching to higher timeframes. On weekly and daily charts everything slows down. No more frantic screen staring.

"Even the most elite traders experience the same gut wrenching fear and uncertainty as anyone else when markets turn chaotic. What sets them apart is not superior nerves its superior behavior. They execute their pre defined plan despite the inner turmoil. They cut losing positions swiftly and ruthlessly without hesitation or second guessing. They remain seated in profound discomfort long after their instincts scream to run. Truth is in trading as in life sustained success rarely comes from feeling better. It comes from behaving better consistently long after the original motivation has faded"

"The myth is that consistently profitable traders possess rare genius or secret edges. Whereas in truth many are simply average traders who finally stopped overtrading. Most traders have decent analysis workable setups and basic risk control enough to be profitable if not undermined.

Consequently commissions pile up slippage widens fatigue clouds judgment and small edges vanish under volume. What looked like a 5560% win rate with positive expectancy becomes"
