    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    I know you are probably right, as bad instinct will kick in all the time, but I will do my best to do what I know need to be done as much as possible, i.e. follow the process (chart) not the money. it is incredible how our own ego get us screwed all the time!

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    I am even thinking about removing any element that indicates how much I am making/losing on a trade so that I can keep the focus on what is happening on the chart and not on how much I am winning/losing on the trade.

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    I have never traded Options, honestly I have never even bothered to understand how they work. the High win rate is easy enough to achieve as price comes back most of the time in minutes, hours, days or months, the problem is that it comes with a cost, Opportunity cost and draw down cost. So...

    Need to eliminate the big losses

    FON I used to trade that way, with a win rate of 9 out of 10 trades allowing trades wiggle room to come back into positive territory, it worked well enough until it did not work anymore and I lost 6 months of profits (talking 80K). the problem with this and with whatever method you may have is...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Yeah, not sure about that... problem is not the error, but staying in the trade knowing it was going and kept going the other way, I knew I should have reversed at the first opportunity (even the second would have been OK) but no, I had to gratify my ego and hope things would change against all...

    Which books should you read if you want to learn trading?

    I would not waste any time reading any book at all, if not to get just the basics like how a candle is designed, what is the definition of support and resistance, all the rest is pretty much useless as anything of real value to make money trading is not and will never be in any book.
