I appreciate the feedback. @thewild1: I still fight the trap as well.

I am wrong plenty, but I'll be fine so long as I take your approach in dealing with them. You put it perfectly - if we follow our method and avoid the ego trap tied to those losing trades, we'll be fine! Thanks again for expanding on this idea, you do excellent work here at A Trade A Day and I always enjoy the read!
