Ric,
 
  Just imagine - if you could say the same 
thing in 7 lines that now takes you 27? 
Oh, how much more powerful your words wouild be and 
how many more people would take the time to read them.   I have heard 
that Hemingway is considered the master of compact prose.  Perhaps you 
should read "Old Man and The Sea"?  
 
Briefly,
Norman

  Hi,Just imagine.Many traders have strong 
  emotions associated with individual trades.  You are not 
  alone.Imagine you have consistently operated your trading system for 
  six months, typically taking 100 trades each month and:<FONT 
  face="Courier New, Courier" color=#808000 
  size=3>        - 
        as expected, this month 
  there were about 45 winning 
              trades 
  and about 55 losing trades,<FONT face="Courier New, Courier" 
  color=#808000 
  size=3>        -       as 
  expected the wins were on average 1.56 times the 
              losses,        -       the 
  process of making money is beginning to become 
               boring,        -       you 
  never know, on entry, which trade will lose and 
              which 
  will 
  win,        -       trading 
  stopped being exciting 300 trades 
  ago,        -       your 
  family notice your mood is no longer driven by an 
           individual 
  trade 
  outcome,        -       missing 
  an opportunity to enter or exit is no longer 
                  frustrating,        -       you 
  are regularly withdrawing a proportion of net 
                winnings 
  each 
  month,        -       for 
  two months, you will test a small change to see if 
           the 
  reward/risk ratio is 
  improved,        -       if 
  comfortable, the next month you will try a minimal 
                  increase 
  in trade size.Now you begin to 
  see:        -       what 
  stress your ego is causing 
  you,        -       what 
  your exercise of emotions is stopping you 
  doing,        -       what 
  your potential is.Now imagine what you are going to do about 
  it.Unconditional regards, Ric.<A
