Hi Stephane...

A small point maybe and one that might be an indicator of a shift in psychology. As you know statistically you're are NEVER due some wins. There are three things that affect a person's emotional state: physiology, focus and language. Taking the care to add precision in your language will help you fretain your focus. But you know all that.

Great blog. I'm still getting up to speed with it.

Bon Chance

Thank you for your comment DangerMouse!! You are absolutely right in that it makes no sense statistically to expect a win after 5 losses.... I guess that I was "anchoring" my previous series of wins/losses which is a typical human bias !!

On the other hand staying positive and accepting that such series of losses are part of any system/trading methodology is important and helps staying focused in the process..

Again thank you for your wise comments and kind words.
