There’s a couple of good articles over at TraderFeed, Dr. Bret Steenbarger’s widely read and essential blog for the self-improving trader.

Both articles compliment each other: one post discusses a checklist of elements to consider when making a transition from one trading style to another (make sure to read the helpful reader comments too). The other post discusses some useful exercises to perform when things hit a bump in the road. The exercise helps with a trader’s confidence and a rightful sense of control one should have.

The Doctor’s useful posts are a treasure trove of information, I recommend never letting too much time pass between regular visits to not only read the posts, but read the engaging comments other traders leave.
