my point is after learning from thousands of books
about Head and shoulder, Inverse head and shoulder .....
we have to unlearn / delete what we have learned & decontaminate our minds.
then develop our own holy grail.
Like golf, agreed, bad habits have to be first unlearned.
Not in agreement that a double bottom pattern with documented stats of a couple hundred occurrances will create bad habits.
I propose to you that by performing due dilligence, in this case documented and screenshots of sufficient numbers of occurances, mistakes and bad habits are avoidable. Rabbits and habbits, both seem to multiply, lol.
If the noob is too lazy to take stats? First Bad Habit if technical analysis is on the docket, for sure.
If a noob is too lazy to take stats on a blood simple clear setup, they will have one hell of a good time with the more esoteric methodology, it would seem to me.
Then more esoteric trading will escape that noob for a Long and Painful expensieve soul sucking journey, imho.
What's your noob to do?
Where's a noob to start?
You have a great perspective. Pass some along...
Where did your journey start to gain traction in the profit column.
What milestones of progress appeared in your trading beyond unlearning bad habits?
