Hi Pete

Thanks for sharing a brilliant story - brilliant because you made it in the end! It's amazing how similar it sounds to my experience in trading and I thought I was the only one. You are 1000% correct - it all comes down to discipline, but the problem is that in normal life one can get by without being terribly disciplined - however, in trading the ill disciplined is punished mercilessly! So when I talk to non-traders about having a problem with discipline they look at me funny - like how can any mature, fairly normal person have a problem with discipline...

Even though it appears that you've worked things out quite nicely by now, I think you will really enjoy "Trading in the Zone" by Mark Douglas.

All the best - and next week we're going to hit that 23/27 trade on the swissy big time!
