you are describing me too for most of the time. me not the die hard type, as retaining my healthy cash flow is more important, well, for most of the time. who knows, soon 'cash is king' drama would surface when there are crashes as in the 1998,m 2008 ...

see... the pyschology is this:
on a good run, one tends to cut short and get out too quick.
on a bad run, one tends to stay on longer than warranted.
so, "lose more, win less".
over a thousand runs, u lose for sure.
stock market trading is not different from casino play in this aspect.
it takes one to be very disciplined to get out at "right time" consistently, whether make or break .
just talking ya..?
