I agree completely with ahmedgamal, especially when it comes to simplicity. It is easy to get confused when trading, with all of the options available to you it becomes extremely likely for you to switch horses mid stream.

I cannot tell you how much money I have lost by changing trading strategies in the middle of a trade. Not smart, pick a methodology, a system, or a strategy and stick to it.

That is how the elite special forces units like Green Berets and SEALs do it. They know the basics so well that they win because others make mistakes while they execute flawlessly. Simplicity is king

Emotion filled trading is reckless trading.

There are a few different techniques that people use for this for instance Larry Williams used to go to a casino and lay cash on a card game before he traded in order to get the fear of losing money out of the way, then he would trade.
