It's officially done.
I will say that one of the (many) things that led to the ultimate turnaround of my trading was learning how to have my good winning days be multiples of my
daily loss limit days. For a long, long time I struggled with how to practically accomplish this. I knew theoretically how to do it, but I had to learn how to carry it out.
With winning days being multiples of my daily loss limit days, I was "free'd up" to mentally say "IT'S OK" to have the daily loss limit days, and
ACCEPT THEM WHEN THEY DO COME . Up until that point, I was never never ok with a daily loss limit day, because deep down I knew that it would wipe out 2 days or a week of winnings. I could not
accept those days as they were happening, which led to an entire worse bag of behaviors. In a nutshell, I had to re-wire myself to learn how to be a good loser. Not much good in any performance activity can come if you have not first learned how to be a good loser.
Can you help answer these questions

Flat -to-flat stats so far for LTP. They should be better than this.
