I assume that I’m stating the obvious when I say that having goals, particularly big/noble goals, is a great attribute to have. When it comes to trading emotions though, especially greed, goals can be infected and distorted in ways that will severely hinder your ability to progress and improve as a trader. As you’ll see in this trader’s plan, they have an epic goal, but due to greed, they being to wander into territories that are going to make their goal extra hard to accomplish.
