And if you use it to bring out the better aspects of your personality, then that's a great combination. voice-verified

But if you let it accentuate the worse aspects of your own behavior, then you can quickly get in real trouble. voice-verified

But some of that was because I was a little unlucky on when I entered some trades. voice-verified
