Great work, Simon. Thanks for putting these thoughts together! Recently when describing the mental aspect of investing to a friend he said it sounded exhausting. I replied that it is all part of the challenge.
it is definitely a part of the challenge and a big part of the reward, for me anyway. it’s the aspect that will never subside no matter how long you practice either; truly a lifelong journey.
The mental game is the biggest challenge to consistent trading in my opinion, the mind can be wicked powerful, and wildly destructive. The key is to listen to all aspects of your thoughts and feelings and accept what they are telling you. Then regardless of this you work through it all, put your head in the sand, and trade/invest the probabilities. Good write up Sir.
