Must admit Skate, I would be more inclined to traded an increased number of positions if not working F/T. Please do keep doing as you do. I'm more concerned with understanding the process and reasoning behind your decisions than backseat-driving what is appropriate for yourself, Peter or anyone else.

On another note, I've been listening to another pocast series lately ("Trading Story Podcast"), and wanted to share this one:

There are some excellent references to the importance of a "process mindset" versus "individual trade mindset". There are examples on how focusing in this way is productive for athletes as well as traders, as well providing psychological buffer in hard times.

I'm personally grateful for some pokes and prods you gave me Skate many months ago. In hindsight alsmost certainly would have missed a large part of the ASX rally earlier this year by toying about with entry dates and smaller during the bull market, then probably over-trading when slower or downward times come. I'm shocked how obvious it is now that I was hobbling what is (hopefully) a reasonably good systematic trading strategy. And I always thought I was perfect.....

[QUOTE="Newt, post: 1039777, member: 50018"] Must admit Skate, I would be more inclined to traded an increased number of positions if not working F/T. Please do keep doing as you do. I'm more concerned with understanding the process and reasoning behind your decisions than backseat-driving what is appropriate for yourself, Peter or anyone else.
