How do you count success?

[Eagles soar]

I view success in the markets is when you follow your plan for better or worse. Many begin with a plan but few follow the plan. Maybe like when we were in school and taking a written test. How many times have you changed the answer only to later find your changed answer was wrong. In the long run you will become a better trader simply by following your plan...

If you trade your plan and it does not work out I say pat yourself on the back for following your plan. Use proper money management and position sizing and you'll be fine IMO...
