wink fails at daytrading, page-3

I feel for you Wink, I had 1 good day and 4 bad ones this week... enough to make me want to quit too.

I found that I had to write my trading rules onto some cards and have them facing me when trading. Some of my rules are:
- always trade 'on the charts', not from 'market feel';
- if the profit looks too good, take it;
- take a break;
- etc.

When I traded doing the opposite of my rules, my success rate was maybe 20%. When I traded according to the rules, over 60%.

Wink, your analysis and posts are brilliant...
