We act upon the stories we tell ourselves in our heads.
Make sure the stories you have are aligned with the market reality.
So here is another story, the market trend is like the WORM from the movie DUNE, when it comes, you don't stand in its way, you let it pass you and then you jump on its back, holding on with your hooks.
LETTING IT take you to your destination.
------------ We SEE the worm
We UNDERSTAND the worm
We TOUCH the worm
We ARE the WORM ------------

"Do not be trapped by the need to achieve anything. This way, you achieve everything" -Dune Messiah
How it relates to trading?
The need to achieve something is thought about thought. Instead of thinking about what you are doing, you are thinking about achieving it. Instead of thinking about how to shoot, you are thinking about hitting the target. If you are thinking about hitting the target, you are not thinking about the actions that have direct causation to hitting the target, thus missing the target. If you are thinking about how to shoot, your shot will hit the target every time, thus achieve anything.
When you are trading, your trading rules are the actions (thoughts) that generate the HIT (making money), no need to think about making money.
