I read this awhile back and couldn't remember where I saw it, anyways IMO based on the failure rate of traders, not to mention the fact that majority do the "wrong thing" then it makes perfect sense that the ratios are what they are.
Here is what I have learned from being on ET, in no particular order:
I don't have a trading plan.
I don't think in probabilities.
I don't use my time effectively.
I have a lot of negative thoughts getting in the way.
It is very hard to keep focus on the charts.
Price can go...
Gears, look at your pic the low is 2700 (approx), where Db's is 2800 (approx), the next touch of the lower channel around 10/10/2013 is 3000 for you and 3100 for DB?
I am not that familiar with NQ, so I will leave it to others.
