Confidence and fear are contradictory states of mind that both

stem from our beliefs and attitudes. To be confident, functioning in

an environment where you can easily lose more than you intend to

risk, requires absolute trust in yourself. However, you won't be able

to achieve that trust until you have trained your mind to override

your natural inclination to think in ways that are counterproductive

to being a consistently successful trader. Learning how to analyze the

market's behavior is simply not the appropriate training.
