I've been saying this for years. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...ery-losing-trader-who-posts-a-journal.134171/
one day after getting some many hits, so many loses, so much pain ... you are so tired of that shit that you finally start following your trading plan without need to outsmart or tweak it. You just give up the fucking ego! This is the time when you start making money consistently. It won't make any sense to you to deviate from your plan anymore ...
This kind of thread is annoying because it implies that so many people have winning systems and all they have to do is follow the rules. I have no problem following rules. Give me your profitable system and I'll split the winnings with you. Geez you guys.
Or do you mean you'd lose less if you followed your rules? I just imagine a bunch of go long when MACD crosses to the top guys who are like oh man I didn't follow my rules and I lost money. That's not why you lost money.
IronFist if you are or want to be a daytrader / scalper I would recommend to look into range bar charts rather than standard time-based charts. The RB chart displays momentum structure, swings in much better details. You can easily define lower risk entry points in a market move. Simple momentum scalps will work for you long term (you should get above 40% with 2R) and you can trade simply off EMA(xx) after market shows a directional bias, any market! Range bar is tricky when it comes to volatility changes but you will get used to it but it takes few hundred hours of work to fine-tune the entry trigger Take it or trash it
Assuming your trading plan is successful when following your rules, then yes... yes... and yes. “Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change.” -– Tony Robbins
