The Plan IS the Plan
If I’m one of those people who equates making money with “being right” and that feeling of being right is the real underlying drive behind why I engage with the market, then I need to own that.
We can debate for hours whether that is right or wrong (I lean strongly toward the wrong side).
If you find yourself in that camp, maybe a subtle mind-shift you might attempt to engage in is: “If my plan accounts for what to do both when price goes up AND price goes down, then whatever the market does, I’M RIGHT!”
Will that help you?
If we’re going to go through the effort of putting thoughtful plans together, or if you’re entering a trade based on a plan someone else put together for you – make sure you’re exiting the trade for the same reasons!
Otherwise, we’re just spinning our wheels in the mud.
Trade 'em Well,
