If you say so, but it's a major reason people fail at trading.

Not thoroughly thinking through strategies, not backtesting them,
not making sure one can execute them consistently -- OK, blame
lies there too.

BUT, I submit that many traders are trying to execute what should
be winning systems, but cannot do so profitably because of their
lack of mastery of self.

Oh, I agree it's definitely a major reason why most people fail at trading, especially when first learning. I wasn't saying it's not, just that it's not always the only reason.

Good Trading,

Sundance
