The big turning point in my trading came when I made a decision and vowed to NEVER EVER let a loss exceed 8%. During the next 5 years I averaged 220% per year for a total compounded return of 33,500%. It's been 28 years since and I have never broken that discipline not even once!

Visualize what you expect to happen and how you will react. More importantly.. see in your mind what can go wrong and how you will react. Make this routine contingency planning.
According to your 3rd book, could you please explain how to practice visualization in trading? @markminervini

Not every trade works out for me. Far from it! I lose half the time. But EVERY trade is a good play at the time, because my risk is always a fraction of my likely reward. And that's the secret... I always get odds on my money. In trading, that's the definition of a "good choice."
In any performance business the bottom line is winning, hitting the goal, getting the job done. Winners do what they have to do to win. Losers make excuses why they didn't perform. A way to win and a way to lose ALWAYS exists. It's a matter of the quality of the choices we make. pic.twitter.com/RXvu4o4FBC
