It's never the markets - it's always you. Statistics and society may predict but you alone determine whether you will succeed or fail. Remember that you alone are in control take responsibility for you performance and your life. There are always tremendous opportunities in the markets. It's not what happens, it's what you do with what happens that makes the difference between profit and loss.
Every event holds the seed of a positive message or meaning.
Eventually every trader will face a larger than desired series of losses, or draw down. How you react and what meaning and lessons you take from that challenge will determine how successful a trader you become. Man's greatest changes, ideas and improvements come from challenging adversity, and a trader's greatest improvements usually come from draw downs. Seize each day and each loss and mistake as an opportunity to learn, and grow, not as evidence of your inadequacy. Seek to embody the true spirit of competition.
