With all due respect to Crown and his mentor's, I would like to say that trading in my own experience does not work this way. Fear, in my own experience is a parasite in trading. Fear in my opinion is not a bad thing. It is a form of emotion that will either fuel the desired change in your life or will paralyze you. While the former might be more witnessed in other walks of life, in trading especially fear more often tends to paralyze a trader. If the markets begin to drop 1% every 10 minutes (which has happened in the past), then no matter what you do or preach, fear is going to get you out of your positions. It will force you to act against your plan and will definitely make you release your emotional charge by getting you out of what you are into.
Trading is the only profession where you can see your capital being eroded every second. Hence, it is also the most difficult profession to be in psychologically. It is never ever easy to lose money. Our mind is trained to release pressure. Hence no matter what you do, never ever be afraid of 'fear'. If you are afraid of being in fear, your mind will sub consciously make you do the thing which will put you out of fear. Statistically there are very few traders who can stick to their plan even when they are deep inside grabbed by fear. The best way to trade in my opinion is to be in a different psychological zone. It is achieved by constantly practicing the state of being emotionless. For eg, I never get excited when I see profits. Going by the same token, I never get bored (sad,depressed) seeing my losses. It is only at the end of the year, after I take a break from trading, do I celebrate my profits or celebrate my losses. Hence, when one trades, he should neither be confident, nor should he be afraid.
Please remember, my experience is not a rule. It is just my experience.
