The session yesterday had a lot in common with what is called a day of capitulation. A day of capitulation, which usually occurs after a prolonged decline in the markets, is characterized by a negative start and that is further aggravated by a spiral of sales, with high volume. This spiral of sales is due to the fact that tolerance to loss of most investors is exhausted. These investors after suffering sharp losses in the previous days, decide, emotionally, sell their portfolios at any price. Thus sales of some investors cause sales of others. When this movement leads to extreme prices, man...

The Over Leverage leads to the shortening of the time to make gains, making it more difficult to ride winning trade ideas.

The relevance of Discipline and Self-ControlThe essence of the success of this highly effective approach to maximize your “Edge” is the individual discipline in the face of apparently high profit opportunities. Only the repeated practice of self regulated discipline can reduce the tendency to act on impulse.

So for the vast majority who were not born with the gift of self control, a powerful technique is to written record in the form of a daily trading plan which...
