Coaches - please correct me if I’m on the wrong path here … After the ups and downs of the last couple of months, reviewing class work multiple times, and staying up to date with the conversations around here I’ve come to a few realizations: 1. This coursework provides a solid foundation in understanding they ‘why’s and how’s’ of market movement 2. The most important part of the coursework - and hardest to master is the mindset and approach 3. Patience is a virtue! One many of us have to work on 4. Too many indicators or too much information (ie - what others are doing) can become ‘noise’ and create confusion in your own personal development. Certainly worth looking at, but can become overwhelming causing you to loose sight of the basics. Don’t be afraid to wipe the screen clean and reset. 5. Practice (paper and backtest) are KEY for personal development - just because a trade set-up worked for you once doesn’t mean it will work for you often enough to be profitable. You need to prove that out by having success multiple times. rushing the process actually prolongs success. But most importantly - this is NOT an exact science. The tools we have been so graciously given are to be used as a foundation to develop our own personal styles. We all process information differently and have different reaction times to the data we see. So trying to ‘memorize’ or perfectly duplicate something someone else has done is virtually impossible. If your S/D zones aren’t exactly the same as someone else’s - that’s ok as long as they work for you! If your risk ratio is different than someone else’s - that’s ok as long as it works for you. Want to trade a different index, use additional tools etc - go for it as long as it works for you. BUT- always keep in mind what works for someone else won’t always work for you!
