The main cause of failure for any trader is taking a simple process and by sheer force of will power making it complicated. Trading is a VERY simple business. The path to success is to STOP trying to rule base your trading on singular components.

Example: When looking at PAT charts a high volume flag means nothing. A wide bar means nothing. A historic Belief level means nothing, and so the INDIVIDUAL list goes on. What DOES mean something is to keep your analysis WIDE, that is take a global view, then play a “What if” game. Take all the components you can and then make a decision with a 51% edge.
NEVER tell yourself that this WILL go up or down. Telling yourself this will cause commitment to ONE side. It will build a BELIEF in you that your belief WILL work out, it will build a belief that YOU are right!
Yes you need rules, but rules that set you free, not rules to constrain your trading and place you into a 100% fixed rule based system which is destined to fail.
The video below looks at how simple trading, should be, is and can be when your are using PAT correctly.
