MrMochi(@baronvonspread):I remember so many trades where I was long into news events but had to close because I couldn't stomach holding the position. So I closed. Later it turned out I was directionally right. Which then drives you to stay awake, put alerts while sleeping and slowly wear down your sleeping habits while missing out on life's joys. It's one thing to have talent in the markets, it's another to have the perseverance to see your trades through. There's no reason trading should be this miserable.
