Resolution for above enigm:
A trader is looking for winning more than loosing within his precious trading time.

This means regarding that pic:
1) Collect the POINTS and
2) Relax!
Either before taking a trade, realizing a loss or at best taking a profit...

Think of relaxing within every period of a trading session.
And YES - relaxing time may be THE essential part of a trading journey.
And after... :-)

What is YOUR path to profit?

Curious about it.

What if we are not relaxed:

1) we are taking wrong decisions
2) we may overtrade or revenge trade
3) etc...

There are so many tremendous threads on this forum (thanks to BigMike
and all the contributors)

In my experience the most important point from trading is:

*** Trade your plan - not your money! ***

It is not important to HAVE an "edge" already - but to DEVELOP one.

The big "flip coin" discussion in some active threads here do not answer this question.

1) Market is NOT random. Market is pushed by humans - not by coincidence.
2) Movement on any instrument is the SUM of all traders decisions at that very moment.
3) To be a longterm winner in this game we need to get a precise big picture of the traded
instrument and we need to develop a feeling for the unique rhythm of that instrument.

In a casino the the outcome is based on the randomness which you can describe with
some mathematical and statistical analysis. As a casino player you need to control
your bets by money management. Thats all and has little attraction for a real trader.
Per saldo you can not win longterm as a better on lotto or casino events.

I am glad that the markets (future markets in my case) do not compare nor compete with a casino.
That is WHY I am a trader.
