I was having a walk after buying food from supermarket with my fiancee. I told her about my recent trades, I was pretty happy with my performance. She smiled and told me ‘ It is good, but next trade is more important’. This gives me some thoughts. Exactly, next trade is always more important. And the very next trade has totally nothing to do with our recent trades which we turned a profit or loss. However, human natures make us think it may. We will end up with over confident, or timid when making the next trade. Forget about your past trades. Keep the focus on the price action, and next trade is always more important. You have to give the best performance for the next trade, it might not be perfect, but it will be your best shot!

Curated Tweets – Best tweets collections
I have collected some tweets over time, which I think it is helpful for traders to read again from time to time. You can treat as “trading wisdom” or just general reminder of rules to run this business.

Burn the boats
Here is the latest addition to the “Videos worth watching” collection.
Burn the boats! by Andy Andrews
In February 1519, Hernando Cortez set sail on the final leg of a voyage that was to take him from Cuba, a stopover, to the shores of the Yucatán. He commanded 11 ships, with more than 500 soldiers, 100 sailors, and 16 horses, bound for Mexico to take the world’s richest treasure. The precious jewels, gold, silver, and sculptures sheltered on this limestone peninsula had been hoarded by the same army for over 600 years. As they listened, Cortez leaned in and said three simple words that changed everything: “Burn the boats.”

Creation of Video Collection page
Lately, I found myself watching more videos than reading blog posts. And I have found some of them are really good, and definitely worth watching again. I thought it might be useful to collect these videos and put them into a place where I can access them easily. As a result, I have created a video gallery on this blog for this purpose.
You can find the link “Videos worth watching” at the side bar or “Video Collection section” from the main page.
For clarification, I am NOT the owner of these videos. These videos are freely available on hosting sites such as Youtube. All I am doing is to organize them into a useful collection, and hopefully, it is useful to some of you.
I will be adding new videos to the collection. Of course, I welcome recommendations (please, no self promotion).
All right, head to the video gallery, and enjoy watching, and learning!
Here is the sneak preview of the gallery, visit the page for full list of videos

When Coaching Is Not The Answer: Here are a few situations that I’ve encountered recently with traders: * A trader who showed talent but also tended to overtrade tried psychological exercises, journaling, reading books, and speaking with a coach.
