Luck, Good Judgement, or simply watching the Fair Value Gaps?

Hi Medici,
As Retail Traders we just don't know, with any certainty, what Price will do next.
There is far more we don't know than we do when it comes to Trading.
Personally, I found my Trading improve when I started to Trade Mechanically, as much as possible, rather than Intuitively.
As a Retail Trader I have a Set of Mechanical Rules that will, HOPEFULLY, put me on the right side of Probability.

Thank you Steve, I second that almost verbatim.

What I've learnt from my coach is that one has to choose one's tools. No matter the size of one's toolbox, one needs to pick out the tools to use, and use only those. It's unhelpful to start digging in the toolbox when the market presents something puzzling, confusing or uncomfortable.

Then one needs to log one's performance carefully, in order to refine and sharpen one's use of the tools.

Differently put, one needs to separate research from the process of trading. and the interaction between research and trading needs to be managed carefully.

At least, that's what I've learnt from experience. I've been too keen to constantly work on sharpening the tools when I should have focused on my execution, and that has had a negative impact on performance.

Hi Medici,
I totally agree, it's all about having a Consistant approach, what ever it is, and then giving it TIME to Work.
This is something I have learnt the hard way, over Time, we have to give our Approach to Trading the Time it needs to Work.
This is HARD to do when we don't know if OUR EDGE is a WINNING One or NOT.
I think we should have a good idea if OUR EDGE has a Chance of Working as our Experience of Trading GROWS.

Nice trade

Monday and Tuesday seem to have decided the levels for the week.

(This is how I used to mark up levels on a 1h chart back when I traded fx.)
