Even some reasonably successful traders limit their profits by self-sabotage through manual override of their trading systems signals; and if not caught in time it becomes a habit that is difficult to break.
Many wallow in the emotion of such actions, perhaps spending time writing a trading diary to identify patterns in their behaviour, trying to convince themselves that either the override makes more money or saves losses.
The answer is simple but is unlikely to be identified when mired in emotion.
What works over and over again is to:
• accept that you feel there is something missing from your trading system,
• add new or change entry/exit/stop criteria and test it out by following your new
system.
Now you can see the syndrome - because they will not formalise their new ideas or concerns in the trading system, they are slowly undermining their confidence in their own trading system.
And since traders trade their confidence, this is a sad place to be.
