Do I ever agree with that. I certainly don't mind if someone disagrees with me. It makes for some interesting dialogue.
Now I got to differ with you, but I'm just offering it constructively. As far as this thread is concerned (I didn't read the whole thing.), it seems Sudoku is the star player here. Someone even said he speaks and the markets follow. I dare not say he is "wrong most of the times in market."
If in the event you are wrong more times than you are right (I know. It's none of my business.), then would there not be a problem with your methodology? The markets can only go north or south (50% chance either way.) In other words, if you flip a coin, you'll be right half the time. Nevertheless, your methodology is your road map to discern which way the markets are going ST, MT and LT.
The markets are not supreme because of our "road map" that give us the advantage over the markets. They are supreme until the methodology that can discern the directional bias of the market has been developed. Experienced traders can get their ego in the way, and for some brief moments the markets can humble them, and for a brief moment the markets gain the supremacy.
If the markets do not reward me, I do not accept it humbly. The humility comes when I accept the fact I blew it, and then fix the problem.
Let's get to the battle and why they really rage. When I started trading, it was a continual uncertainty, as doubt was preeminent with every trade I made. There was a constant battle inside of me. It even raged because of my desire to succeed. The battle was won as my methodology was developed and I gained experience, and through that my confidence grew. Now there are no more battles. I calmly and quietly enter my trades and 85% end up on the winning side of the ledger.
Speaking of battles, this is the one battle I have. At times, I'm afraid my confidence comes off as cockiness or smug, or come off like I think I know it all. Believe me, none of the above is true. Having said that, if I took up too much space in this thread or encumbering someone, just let me know, and I'll walk away.
But yes, the wonderful thing about being a human being is we are allowed to make mistakes. That is partly due to why we post an occasional bad trade. That is also why I stubbed my toe on the side of the bed the other night. It was a mistake, but tell my toe that.
Dear friends,
We are moving in a dangerous path when any criticism is considered as an attack on some one. Are we not members of a open forum where we can offer different opinion?
I do respect SG as a successful trader thats all nothing more nothing less. I dont consider him as a super human being. It was his open views and it is being debated. It is not a crime to differ from some ones view even if he is Moderator or owner of the forum.
All of us are wrong most of the times in market. Everyday our stoploss gets hit. Everyday market surprises us. In trading only market is supreme. If it rewards fine if not accept it humbly. No ego, no frustration. Learn a lesson and prepare for the next battle.
All of us are human being and we are prone to commit mistake.

(I agree that I am not good but I am not that much bad too. I too can commit a mistakes since I am a human being not GOD)
