Every journal or thread I visit I find that people start with their charts looking one way and by page 5 or so they have their charts looking another way with different rules and strategies and indicators.
STOP looking for the "holy grail".
Congratulations, you threw on a new indicator last night and it gave you a winning trade today? That new indicator you just added has completely thrown off your system, you must now master and learn inside and out a completely new system. That new indicator, or color, or candlestick style, all of that is ruining your trading.
THINK How can I MASTER the system I currently trade?
Do you know how Tiger Woods or Micheal Jordan or any other pro athlete became a PRO athlete? They worked their butts off and spent not hours, not days, but YEARS working on their "system", the system that worked for them. Ask yourself, do you think Woods or Jordan patrols golf or basketball forums looking for that new swing indicator or shot technique or club style or hoop size indicator? NO, they found stuff that works for them and then THEY SPENT THEIR LIVES MASTERING IT.
MASTER IT Become so thoroughly versed in your own trading style you can see chart set ups on your screen while blindfolded. KNOW your system, KNOW your rules. Trade your system.
PROFIT After finding what works for you and mastering it, profit from your system.
Stop changing every little thing about your system. Want to add that shiny new indicator? Think twice.. Become the best at trading what you already have.
