But when one is capable of doing that, thats when we see amazing performances like from Kobe and MJ. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. :) Yeah I agree, its hard to just focus on one thing and trying to bring it off when you have a dozen other things to worry about.

Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods come to mind. We’ve probably all seen them get a little miffed at a competitor or themselves, put on their game face, and just get hot instantly. However, the majority of people don’t have that ability (talent or skill?), so removing as much emotion as possible is the best bet when it comes to damage control and staying cool under pressure.

It’s easy to “just give it a little more room” and soon after realize that you’re in a spot where you feel it’s too late to exit (which is never true). Doing your homework is always a great habit to be in. Showing up with your game face is another one. Remember how small mistakes = small consequences? Habits like those can keep you on the right track as a trader and pay off nicely as time goes by. Making a habit just to show up prepared every day for whatever the market throws at you can have a tremendous impact on your progress and consistency as a trader….not to mention your P&L! Baby Steps worked for Bob Wiley! Little habits and constant progress end up making a big difference. [...] […] Obeying stops is one habit we can all be reminded to check.
