I have no reason to lie to myself !

I've been doing this for futures trading. My paper account has gone from 100k to over 900k in a few months. To do that, I have moments where I'll hold during a 5% drawdown, which I'd never dream of doing on a real account. It's so easy to assess the market accurately when emotions are out of the picture. My WR is >90% on the paper account, and my real money account is about 50%. And that's on the exact same instrument!!!

Sorry the inference was not directed to you at all - merely acknowledging (having studied psychology as a sub major ) that people in general have an innate ability to perceive "reality" according to their beliefs

Cheers
