A short YouTube monologue by Adrian Reid advising traders to actively investigate anomalies in their portfolios or trading processes. Reid argues unresolved concerns raise emotional arousal which degrades decision-making, so traders should follow up issues to completion but avoid getting lost in excessive "rabbit holes."
And so I think, and I think with trading we do, 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 and 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 it's 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.
Sat.
