It depends on which stage of a trader you are.
As a concept, YES. In practice ... hard to do. After spending a year in learning all the concepts (still halfway there), the biggest battle now is nerves. Hopefully that will get better this year ;(
yeah you are right, biggest battle is nerves. consider our mind is like computers, and so what we forget while installing any new software, having pre-scan & real time scan by good reliable anti-virus which we update also.
ex- ur new software is TA/FA or anything,
VIRUS-
Sure. Although I was hoping that this straight-line up move since almost end of December will have a correction built in, but except for the Monday swoon, it is like a freight train !!
harmful scripts-
But all good things come to an end !! I do not know what will trigger it, but if/when we correct to 5050-5100, people will start talking about 41xx really soon.
IMO the problem is misinterpretation of data and wrong use of concept.
ex- concept-when everybody(mostly) start thinking for short then buy. -
wrong
when every
TRADER(mostly) start
trading short then buy -
still wrong
when every
TRADER(mostly) start
trading short then buy,
but this only implies when you have reliable & enough sample data of traders trading/thinking. -
right
another ex can be of OI data interpretation.
these were my 2cents to find the culprit.
