Look at the curve.
  • hunting analogy. learning the behaviour of the market you want to trade. Understand the qualities and characteristics of the instrument I want to trade.
  • example: You count how many swing trades in a year periode. Either it is 10,20, or 30, it doesn’t matter how you count it. What matter is now you know in a month there is one, two or none swing. Then come the problem where traders took 100 trades in a month. why that happen? The trader doesn’t understand about how many rotation happen in a time frame period. If you know only one-two opportunies in a month, you’re going to conserve your ammo. You’ll be a lot more carefull when you are gonna fire the clip.

I need to change my behavior to MATCH what the market does.

The problem is not the market, the problem is MY REACTION to the market.
