Post Be Yourself,don't Try To Be Someone Else'

In all of my years as a trader
I never traded more than a
50 lot on any individual
trade. Sure, I would have
liked to be able to trade like colleagues
in the pit who were regularly trading 100 or 200 lots per trade.
However, I didn’t possess the emotional or psychological skill set necessary
to trade such big size. That’s OK. I knew that my comfort zone
was somewhere between 10 and 20 lots per trade. Typically, if I traded
more than 20 lots, I would “butcher” the trade. Emotionally I could
not handle that size. The trade would inevitably turn into a loser
because I could not trade with the same talent level that I possessed
with a 10 lot.
Learn to accept your comfort zone as it relates to trade size. You are
who you are.
