Fair enough. It's a chicken and egg-fest. Self sabotage is the number one reason for blowing up. And the number one reason for self-sabotage is because we all (well most of us anyway) hate losing and love winning. And the most common reason for losing is over-leverage - either clawing back losses or thinking we're gods gift to trading and then finding out we're not. Over and under confidence.
But once you've quelled your demons, steady returns still require a steady strategy. So in the end you either you fix the strategy which helps you limit the emotional swings or fix yourself to handle them, and eventually - you need to fix both as they both feed off each other.
