Very much so. It's amazing how you want to revert to "hunches", "gut", jumping in early because you think it's going to reverse, etc., etc., etc..
The thing is to be mechanical about it and eliminate all that. I didn't even realize I was doing it at first - just that I was failing live too much. More & more I was realizing that my head was the problem....
That and I just needed more time. 1 - 2 weeks paper trading to me is not enough if you never daytraded before. I think it's more like a month plus. Course - I could just be slow......
