You mean not falling into "traps". Well, good for you. But I'm surprised it took you 20 years to discover it. But as they say, better late than never.
you are not the only one !!!!!!!!!! sometimes i wonder WTF i am doing? dont i want to trade well? now i do not wonder. i know. and yes interesting that you call first entries a trap. most of time it is. but in a trend, where everyone is rushing to enter the trend, first entry is the way to go. if you are entering counter trend, like after a pull back, [ a pull back is a trend in the opposite direction to the main one] then most first entries are failures or traps
I ain't so sure I would agree with you here. Anyway, I gave away too much secrets already. You'll have to cross the ocean on your own. Good luck!
i think i drowned a few times you can give away as many secrets as you want...... no one is going to recognise them, as any good. EXCEPT those who know the secret already and it that case it is not a secret [to them]
