Don't expect to get different results until you try doing something a little different. The more different the better the results will be.
You're gonna laugh, but I printed off loads of charts earlier, and sat on my bed for hours looking them. Turning them upside down. Looking at them from a distance. Just starring at one single bar intently etc etc! Seeing if something 'new' would jump put at me. lol I guess the most 'different' to charts/trend trading etc would be some sort of news trading or something, so could explore that.
You should be more worried when others agree with you than when they laugh. Trying unusual methods facilitates or stimulates more trying of new methods.
i don't get it you were a long way onside. You didn't bank some profit and let it come back and take you out for a large loss?
This is about the time of year the 'gurus' come out and say they are done for the year. #seasonaltendency
