Sure, if you give your traders the ability to use their own judgment to help with selecting trades that could lead to problems. I was picturing more of an employer/employee relationship where they are told, you buy on a green alert, sell on a red alert and if you do anything else, you'll be fired.
See, I think people could trade a system like that and do well. But if they're told they can choose which alerts to take based on how they think it might work out then who knows how they'll do. Yes, I see your point that having full confidence in your system leads you to having self-control. Speaking from my personal experience, my worst times of losing self control happened when I saw price action that didn't match my plan but I wanted to trade anyhow because I thought I knew what price would do....or what I wanted it to do
and so decided to do my own thing. One of those days I tried doubling up when I was wrong...something I had tried a few times years ago without success and had told myself I will never trade like that again, but in the moment of trading, I decided to try it. Trading in the moment what you want to do has got to be one of the worst things a trader can do, and the price was that I blew my account...Poof, and it was gone! This was back in July.I'm glad to hear you have no problems with self-control when it comes to following your plan. From the screenshot it looks like you have got some clear rules! Nice work!
