I think just trade with either the bull argument or the bear argument. this works for long term trending markets. if you are trading hourly or anything less than that ,you have to have a two sided mentality. not 'I am right, it is bull'! you have to be able to see trades, on both sides, if not how on earth, will you know your target.
I guess you can say the same thing about life as well. Whether you want to be rich or poor, good or bad, industrious or lazy, or whatnot, the choice to define who you want to be is up to you. Nobody's putting a gun to your head.

I prefer “Buy lower than low and sell higher than high” Buy high, sell higher Usually has 10risks 1reward.
