This is what most people can never do - have the discipline to trade the day as it is given, not as the trader wishes it to be.

Great discipline! Probably 95% of people out there would have tried to force a trade, rather than wait 7 hours.

It is good you recognize it as an ego booster. Next step is to eliminate it. In trading, ego kills. And I can tell you know that already.

I wish you continued success in the Combine!
