One's baseline level of loss avoidance can change. After experiencing a recent loss, most traders will become more loss averse. Losses of any kind have this effect - the death of a loved one, divorce, illnesses, accidents, work-related losses, and financial losses - all increase the propensity.

"I find for myself that my first thought is never my best thought. My first thought is always someone else’s; it’s always what I’ve already heard about the subject, always the conventional wisdom.
It’s only by concentrating, sticking to the question, being patient, letting all the parts of my mind come into play that I arrive at an original idea. By giving my brain a chance to make associations, draw connections, take me by surprise.
And often even the idea doesn’t turn out to be very good.
I need time to think about it, too, to make mistakes and recognise them, to make false starts and correct them, to outlast my impulses, to defeat my desire to declare the job done and move on to the next thing."
William Deresiewica, former professor of English at Yale, in his lecture to the United States Military academy at West Point in October of 2009.

"Be like a servant waiting for the return of the master" - says Jesus.
The servant ( trader ) doesn't know at what hour the master is going to come ( market is going to move ). So he stays awake, alert, poised, still, least he miss the master's arrival
( market's move ).

You are responsible for the results you get.
Projection makes perception.
You can only trade your beliefs.
We make up the world we live in. As long as we do that, we might as well adopt useful beliefs and live in a manner that makes us effective traders.
