With all due respect to those who got involved in the "Help I've been chopped" thread the discussions were elementary at best with a lot of general basic comments that most traders should know before entering the market "battlefield"
Death by a thousand stops is nothing to take lightly in trading, especially if you are a price action trader, don't think for a second that a couple of do's and don'ts are going to save you from bad action because it is actually PA's Achilles' Heel.
It's a topic that deserves chapters, maybe even a whole book, not just a few random posts in a public forum.
I know many of you mean well, and your contribution actually makes this cesspool a better place when you are active but it kind of rubs me the wrong way when someone tries to trivialize what is far from trivial; it gives amateurs the wrong impression and a lot of false hopes.
Knowing when not to trade or in some cases when to just "hold" is for many the one thing needed to take them from small gains to smooth rides in their overall trading decisions; in many cases, the last piece of the puzzle needed for true success.
