Hi,
Perfection is an interesting subject.
When looked at from an approach of continual improvement in the context of
learning, the aim for perfection is productive.
When seen as a end in itself the aim for perfection can lead to destructive
curve fitting, inappropriate allocation of time (for example on a journal),
or similar symptoms.
A good test of which mode you are operating in is to ask yourself a
question about your attitude to mistakes.
If you love mistakes because they are opportunities to learn then you are
probably in the first mind-set of continual improvement.
If the answer is you often 'kick yourself' for making mistakes then you
probably have the second unproductive mind-set.
There are practical steps that can be taken if you feel you are suffering
from the second perception.
If you feel uncomfortable about this idea, then you maybe resisting a
change in your perception.
As always, I keep in mind a clients comments "You mean I have to change?".
Successful trading, mostly comes from inside - concentration on externals
can be a sign of avoidance of the need for internal change. A common
enough syndrome - but no less true.
If externals are important to you, be aware that improvements in the
externals of trading arise naturally from getting the internals aligned.
Where is your focus?
May your potential be realised, Ric,
