How to Coach Yourself to Trading Success

 
Suppose we are all like Clark Kent:  an ordinary person on the outside with hidden superpowers and also a vulnerability to Kryptonite.  

Suppose you begin coaching yourself by looking, looking, looking through all your trades and all your life's successes to find your one superpower.

Suppose, in that search, you examine all your trades and all your losses to find your Kryptonite.

What if your path as a trader is to find your personal superpower and figure how it comes out in your trading?

What if your path as a trader is to find the Kryptonite that has created your life's greatest failures and figure out how that shows up in your trading?
