First of all, a little background. Word of warning, this post might come as some surprise, since most members here seem to be extremely profitable, so forgive my mortality.
I've been trading for nearly three years, full time, equities at first then futures.
In the beginning I "blew up", at least that is the term used here, a small account and that's when I learned about preservation of capital.
After that, I gave it one hard look and started improving. In the meantime I have been studying price action, finally realized there is no real point in indicators, been trying to find good risk/reward setups you know the usual phase transition. Yada yada, the usual really. From ignorant to some degree of skill and trading knowledge.
However, I still can't find my way to constant profitability.
To this day, I still have not "got it". Been trying to do everything right, and still can't see what I must see. It's not a question of discipline, it's a question that I can't for the love of me find a way to consistently beat the system.
I know this is a competitive game, I realize this, lots of egos, lots of secrets.
Well if you "got it" could you please tell me what is it that I should look for because I certainly can't seem to "get it" and it's frustrating the hell out of me.
Needless to say I refuse to give up.
