18. Contrarian. Just for the sake of taking the other side.

Always found in my youth, trending trading had ragged price action. Market exhaustions, climatic bars and volume just seemed right to me, Risk to reward was much more favorable, it was never looking for big profits, just more dependable trades.

There's something to be said for being first, or shall we say early, in a correct trade. Slighly MORE profit. Repeat and repeat and you'll see the beauty of compounding. Position sizes will get bigger and bigger. So will the stress.

The trick of course is "correctness".

We're ALL unique.
