Have you experienced where someone went an extra mile just to prove himself right because he doubted?
It is only when one is full of pride that he will find himself under this category of behavior, have seen some people that despite they knew what they were doing and they are right in it, they don't have to argue themself and insist on the same thing over time, this same attitude is what many traders are taking along to making trades, we have to sometimes let go of our individuality and follow the due process in other for us to achieve some certain level of results and achievements.
I think yes and no. IMO, sometimes it's better to do the same thing even if we are not prideful because it can give us contentment and also for others to learn that we are right and they are wrong, and they can change their life for the better. They might even thank us one day for this and that can make us even more proud for our selves.
When it comes to trading, trading is only trading but our individuality is still more important than it because this is what shapes us. So, I won't compromise it only for trading. Despite of it, I think it is still possible to be successful in it. I want a life like this, that everything seems to be balanced and there is no need for me to make sacrifices.
