Short YouTube advice from Adrian Reid arguing that traders must investigate anything that "doesn't feel right" in their portfolio, systems, or process because unresolved concerns raise emotions, which impair decision-making, confidence, and can lead to financial loss. He advises focused investigation (avoid excessive rabbit holes) and following issues through to completion.
I think with trading, we do need to seek out those things. If it doesn't feel right, there's something there, and even if there's not, it doesn't feel right. What does that do to your emotions? What happens to your emotions? They go up or down. If something is niggling at you, the emotions go up. If your emotions go up, what happens to your ability to make sound decisions? Goes down. So even if it comes to nothing, you've still got to investigate and you've got to follow it through to completion. Now, don't go down 50 million rabbit holes and distract yourself and don't make any progress. That's not what I'm saying. But if there's something in your portfolio to do with real money or your trading process or one of your systems or something, you've got to investigate those things, because otherwise they will cause you to lose confidence and lose money.
