Does that mean you'll never have an accident of course not but the odds are you'll have more accidents in your first period of learning and starting to drive your car and this probability becomes less and less as the time pass still you can here about a guy who has been driving for years and he had a an accident or a terrible one or he died in an accident it get lesser but still could happen.. so it's the same in trading at the beginning you see it hard then you start your learning curve and you start accumulating experiences and in your first months or year you might blow some demos or even real but as the time pass you have things just things in the back of your mind that tells you not to take this trade or to feel comfortable to that one some times you even predict the market moves, does that mean that once you're there you'll never lose again? NO but chances are less.. still some of the great traders goes bankrupt once or twice at least in there life(I read that in an article with a famous trader..i just can't remember the name) also that doesn't mean that you don't need indicators or it's just gut feeling, no but it add to your trading personality and give it the style that I'm talking about..that's why people have there different vehicles but still if you want to go back safely home you'll follow certain rules in traffic or if you see a ball crossing the street you'll stop caz most probably a kid will be there in a second ..so the different cars are trading systems and the traffic rules are the common style and the certain mistakes that all the drivers or traders .. successful ones for sure, follow to avoid having an accident or a major loss in trading…
At the end my advice to you is to trade the bigger time frames thats where the money is and use the small time frame just to pinpoint the entry..my main TF is 4H and I go down to 5m to get my entry and after that I don't look at it to avoid blood pressure(see that’s the similarity between Simba and me) and don't ever never let the market get to you and say I'm going to change my stop to avoid losing 50 instead of 30 if you didn't like the loss from the beginning don't take the trade ,this game is all about emotions and there is a lot of simple ,big time frame, and profitable system take a look at the fozzy method at forex factory ..well it seem like another long post from me and its weekend go have some fun
