RT's,
I was thinking about this and it occurred to me that there is a small lesson
to be learned here.
You take a child and he has never carried the burden of providing for a
family, of real responsibilities. For this example we will say that this
child is not trading money that he earned from doing real work and that the
money is not his to lose.
You take the pressure out of the trading equation and presto it's a
different world. Your wife doesn't divorce you if you lose your rear, and
the bank doesn't take your house away etc., etc. I saw a program not too
long ago where they tested people's response to taking a test under
different degrees of pressure or stress. BIG DIFFERENCE. The stressed group
preformed much worse then the group that was unstressed.
Also kids may not complicate the effort the same as an adult and are just
playing it the same as they would any computer game.
Whether we like it or not to be successful we need to find ways to deal with
this stress. To be in control of our emotions if you will. Controlling our
trading situation is in my opinion the first step towards this. Things such
as not over trading, using stops, being prepared, being educated . You get
the idea.
