I think the biggest mistake most people who just started trading are making is assuming trading in general and trading stocks specifically has a lot to do with gambling and "gut" feeling.In reality it is a profession you can learn like any other. You just need the right and the most up to date educational info, the right instructors and you are good to go.
Each trade's outcome..., is in fact uncertain Impending order flow..., is uncertain Trading is gambling (and..., trading is also riskier than gambling) Trading is gambling - we can either trade as a gambler.., or as the house RN
The only way to trade as the house, is to open a FX chop shop. There is a logic behind the market, but it comes down to Momentum and Risking x to make X ( A small amount to make a bigger amount )
The critical error in that analogy (and this is not a FA vs TA issue at all) is that any financial market operates as a predatory market, with winners taking from losers. Change the game of roulette into a quasi- parimutuel system of betting where each number 00-36 on the wheel expands or contracts inversely dependent upon the number of bets or amount bet placed on each number, then when plotted over time you might be getting something close to a financial instrument chart. I hope that makes sense...
