In my opinion, your questions are heavily laced with "emotional" terms and
issues which have no place in successful trading. They need to be
eliminated or at least put on-hold. Terms like "power", "take away",
"loving", "resenting", etc., are antithetic to the trading environment, imo.
To whatever degree these emotions are given power while attempting to trade,
is the same degree to which a "trader" is likely to not be successful. I am
not a Psychiatrist and don't have the solutions, but these are issues that
should be dealt with before attempting to trade.
