Don't consider trades individually but the mass of your trades. Each one is
basically random, but their series reflects your own input. When you shoot at a
target, you don't look at the dust on the end of your barrel but the target.
Here as well you don't look at each trade as it goes, but at the evolution of
those as a target that is met or not.

See my other post.

Ed Seykota. Also my other post. I think the "intellectual thing" you described
here is your parts invention to serve as hionorable excuse in place of the true
reasons. See my other post. But nevertheless, you do not have to change
anything, if you feel comfortable with that. Do inquire only if you feel a lack
of balance here, which would be the case if the question is regularly on your
mind.
