DislikedThat's a very good policy when deciding what position to take.
On the other hand, deciding to check the charts for a trading opportunity might be based on hope. And it's only human nature to hope the trade turns out well after you make one. And even getting into trading in the first place might be based on hope. But these examples are different.
Trade what you see.

1. Hope your internet connection doesn't go down, especially when in the middle of a trade
2. Hope your bro-ker does not go into administration (bankrupt)
3. Can't remember the third one....
So the market will not change on hope, it will only dish out what it wants.
