Bad habits are very hard to break. And you'd think that someone who thinks and writes about developing trading habits would have a far easier time changing his own. Maybe it's the old story of the cobbler's children going shoeless or something, but today I traded my opinions about the market in several key places instead of the inflection breakout signals on the way up staring off the page of my own Trade Plan. Of interest to note that some of my students whose habits less ingrained have succeeded in acquiring breakout trigger habits from our ValhallaFutures lesson sessions better than the instructor giving them.... :) Want to wish all a good weekend... Work on your Trade Plan, and rehearse your Trade Plan behavior for the trade models you've identified so that you can more easily take them regardless of your trend opinion when they appear at the right edge of your video screen each day.
