Well, our experiences are different.
I've been trading (profitably) myself, i've talked to other traders, read books and i've come to conclusion that trading is first and foremost game about statistical probability. Sure, psychology plays part in it, but unless you have statistically proven and sound method, you will not make it-no matter how hard you try "to be yourself" or "to reach to your deeper self" (as someone else put it). For me the method is sine qua non-without it the rest of the puzzle will not come together. I read very often on various forums that you can make everything work-only if you can get your mental side right. This is one of the dangerous oversimplifications that such attitude (that mental side is more important) can lead to.
With my post i was just implying that maybe you should explain the type of strategies that you teach and their performance- for those (like me) that want to know more than psychological advices. If Forex is business (and it is) facts and figures are important.
