You know, trying to re-live those very negative experiences in trading isn't any fun, but I know that I tend to learn much more from losses than from wins. The wins are more fun, but the losses tend to provide longer-lasting motivation when it comes to what *not* to do! But it would be nice to not have to keep learning in that way, so I try to go through it and see what I can take away in order to avoid doing it again. Hope it helps! Jeff Hey Gary,
