I have rushes of blood, I always have.
I found that reminding myself of previous fuck ups, gave myself a vital split second to think about what I'm doing
The last time I went IP after a bad trade was New Years Day 2008......I lost £2000, just because I couldn't accept a £20 red
I printed the sheet out and put it on my wall, to remind myself of the consequences of going IP
I went self-employed 6 months later and kept it on my wall for a good 6/7 years
I'm an example of how bad habits can be eradicated
Very familiar to me.
Worst example I can remember was having 11 winning trades in a row then a 13 cent loss and going in play to recover 13 cent and losing over €300 all because I couldn't accept a loss! I can laugh about it now but dark times in my trading career!
I eventually got there in the end but like you say you have to rewire your brain.
