Discipline in trading
by James Covington Bryce
I would like you to bear with me for a moment and consider something that, at first, might appear to be a little "far out."

What would you be? You only live in your body. What you are really is not tangible, i.e., it cannot be measured by any of the five senses.

Anyone who actively trades the stock, option or futures markets is actually taking a major course in psychology and a minor course in trading. Traders find many of their "selves" staring them in the face every day. The smart thing to do is to take advantage of this through observing and taking note of these characteristics that are brought to the fore. ...
