Resolutions to change behavior are must easier to write than to keep. Today I did the same error as yesterday, letting go of the early buy signals because I lost faith in choppy action. Yes, I could make the same excuse that Yellen was yappin', but in truth it was just my head that wasn't on that well. Yellen made no difference to the success of both day's early buy signals. Both needed to be allowed to work. So how does one change behavior. One thing that clearly helps is to add the resolution into your Trade Plan and then read that addendum on the following day just before trading begins. Get the message into your head. Give your trader voice. Let that voice be the guide that you listen to, and not the appraisal of your tape reading Analyst, or your loss fearing Accountant. Be the Trader.
