I have cycled through various perspectives and I think I am comfortable with where I have settled: I believe there is an internal struggle, but at the same time I view the market is a purely exogenous, unemotional entity.

I don't look at trading as me against me. With a positive outlook, I see myself as a participant in the markets, and that I am capable of earning what I am setting out to earn. If you approach trading as an "argument" with yourself, or trading against yourself, ultimately, you will win. Meaning, you will lose the trade because the "other you" that you are trading against is mentally geared to win whereas the true you is mentally geared to lose. Just my perspective.
