You bring forth some great points regarding trusting in our analysis. It's not like we have to trust that <em>every</em> trade will be a winner, but that our overall process will deliver success when we stick with it over time. Nice reminder for that next trade that doesn't instantly do what we think it will! Thank you for stopping by and here's to a great 2010! Hey John,

I like what you said about fear. Sometimes I get in too late into a trade because I think... what if I'm wrong? What I've found is that I am right more often than wrong and that I just need to trust my research and set my stops before I get into the trade. That way if I am wrong, I limit my losses and move to the next winner. Thanks for your posts! John Great post Jeff! I like what you said about fear.

That is actually the secret of my successful swing trading. In fact my formula is to have atlease 60% winners which will give you 20% lead. Minimizing your losses and let the winner run for itself is the name of the game. Again thanks for the great post. Aleem Khan Hi Jeff: great post, every word in your article is true.
