Similarly, if you’re a trader, you’re most likely reflecting on some of your good trades and bad trades and doing some much needed self-analysis on your overall trading performance over the past year. How many times have you entered a trade that you knew was a high-quality price action signal within a strongly trending market, saw the trade take off in your favor and then you quickly take what you considered to be a decent or even pre-planned target and then the market makes a HUGE move without you on board? I have made much more money by trading less often and letting big trades run than I ever have by taking small winners and trying to trade a lot.
