Different shapes and forms.
Failure comes in all different shapes and forms. The distance you fall after a failure, time it took to get to the failure,and whether you get back up determines that shape and form. I realize there are a million posts on why failure is important but success is important, especially in trading.
Failure is different in trading.
Failure/losing in trading is not the same as failure in other contexts. What is working right now is always changing. What happens to many traders is that they waste money until their system is working again or they run out of money before it happens. I believe in having a process so you can adapt to that change. When you find something that works continue to do it till it does not work. A 100x easier said than done.
