That explains how you can have bankrupt traders who never had a loss.

Of all the ways to loose money, why did you pick the fastest?

Your trading history is like a blood test. It provides solid evidence of what you are doing right and wrong.

If a trader does not understand what happens to him psychologically while in a trade, he is doomed to lose until he does or he runs out of money.

I follow Peter Brandt on twitter, and have come to know his mantra to trading: strong opinions, weakly held. https://www.peterlbrandt.com/strong-opinions-weakly-held/

Today's CL is a good example. I had a strong bias that CL is going to pop and reverse, and kept selling into rally. That bias prevented me from adapting to the market reality, noting the strong short term momentum, and seeing long opportunity, not short. Of course, CL reversed in the afternoon, but the damage was already done.

Yes you need conviction in your belief, but you also need agility to survive the ever changing market.
