You say about consistently profitable trading result which is not matched with trading result for short term.

So consistent profitable trading result in short length of time is a wrong thinking. When you say about consistency, it should be for net trading result in a long term to be accurately.

Emotion and psychology are important for traders and their decisions but emotional effects possible are short term but psychological effects are possibly long term. Traders will move from emotional decisions to psychological decisions, from short term to long term effects by emotional / psychological effects.

If they let these effects affect them, they will not get good trading results.
