I somehow missed this post and serendipitously, it is exactly what I needed after a rough day today. Thanks mate.

Great post Austin. The psychology aspect is what I need to work on most so this really resonated with me. Even traders of your calibre face the same mental fires but you have steps in place to help extinguish them. The 55% win rate was a great point, I read over that paragraph multiple times and will be printing that out to put on my desk. Keep up the great work!

Looks like I’ll be adding Le Foote to my next Sydney visit 😉.

Thanks Sash- pleased some points resonated. The market has a way of bringing out our worst habits and just have to be as self aware as we can

Strong fking post here mate. You demonstrated great self awareness and overcame adversity. I hope you get as much out of writing these entries as we do reading them. Good to see you spiced up your calendar with a lunch a Le Foote!
