With swings, positioning is the easy part. The hardest part is riding a winning play until your strategy tells you to exit.

When things are going well, the mind will try to trick you with every excuse in the book to exit earlier than planned. To take that profit and get the gratification.

One needs to learn to ignore that. It’s the ride on those winning plays that moves the needle for one’s portfolio at the end of the day. Small wins and small losses often even out.
