I think most of us realize pretty early on in our trading development that there can be a huge gap between knowing what we’re supposed to be doing in trading and what we actually do. A lot of what any trader has to do to become a long-term success in the markets is to find ways to close that chasm.
Kent at the Financial Philosopher wrote a very thought-provoking post in which he discusses the knowing-doing gap. It’s not a trading discussion, per se, but I think it does present some very interesting insights in to the way we think and operate which has carryover effects.
