The reason we can do this is because we already know what our trading edge is and we already have our risk predefined, so when our trading edge forms in the market, we simply set the trade up and then ‘forget’ about it. The goal in trading as in poker, is to manage your capital / trading chips so that you don’t lose too much from emotion or weak hands, so that when the strong hands and high-probability trades come along, you can get as much money as you can out of them. Trading is the same way; you cannot doubt yourself or your trading method, when a trade is present that meets your trading plan criteria, you need to act decisively and without hesitation or doubt.
