Hi RN, I'm sure others have some valuable insights but I would like to suggest 2 things:
1. Return to what was working for you before you started experimenting/learrning from others and get back into the trading groove you were in using your own methodology.
2. From there, experiment with one thing at a time, if it adds to your success incorporate it, if it doesnt, put it aside. Then build one step at a time.
I've got a scientific background and point 2 adheres to simple scientific discipline - experiment with one variable at a time, otherwise you won't know what worked and what didnt.
I've got a list of different techniques/disciplines I want to learn from what I've read from other posters on HC - ichimoku, pitchfork, EWT to name a few, let alone some of the more esoteric stuff I read on the XJO forum. But I've tried one thing at a time. First it was simple trading disciplines, then learning to read charts and understand what's what, then I absorbed what I could from Robbbbbbb and his RRR risk/return methodology, now I learning about ichimoku.
I think learning to be a proficient trader is a journey. Take one step at a time and enjoy the journey - there's no rush (in fact rushing will only lose you money).
