OK, back now.
If my words do not suffice, read over CV's various posts where he emphasizes that
lack of knowledge is the reason for traders to loose money. I lost too when I started trading but that was not because of some psycho thing but rather that I lacked understanding of market action.
I never really heard about a gr8 trader who could play
only on hunches. In my understanding all gr8 traders emphasized having a system- a plan of action.
what standard and what's not may be noted. As an analogy I account 80% of my profits to tape reading skills. Tape reading is quite standard for NYSE daytraders. I personally know many traders who trade NSE by the tape, may there are some here too:

but they shy away from posting frequently for technical claims/forecasting in various threads.
such type of daytraders fail to survive more that few months.
never heard of
anyone trading on hopes.
I too trade a setup, and I know when to play my hunches, though you dont include me in
we. I trade moreover in anticipation when I follow the trend, in the anticipation that the trend will continue.
seriously Sir, can't understand even a bit of that
my apologies if I had been advocating on trading on hunches.
