Well the simple answer in my case is freedom, not that I'm quite there yet but I'm working towards it.

That all being said, my trading journey to date has been full of ups and downs, and I reckon I'm still stuck in a boom and bust cycle. I suspect, as I alluded to in my last post this is because I try and do new things from time to time, even though I know my main system works, I've now got over 1,000 back test results over about 20 different symbols across a number of asset classes, it works. 

The psychology is hard though, particularly when your on a losing streak. 

So what do I do about it:

1. Review the back test results
2. remind myself that the system works
3. look at 1 and 2 again.

Does it always work, no, but hey I'm only human. 

Any way thats it for now!

Cheers,
