i believe that emotions can be a major enemy so i agree with you on that
i also believe that as traders we need a statistically provable (and proven) edge if we are in this for the long haul and want to make money
do you feel as though a feel or feeling for the market is going to hurt your performance because you will miss some big trades that were not taken because of intuition, and that the bad trades not taken do not add up to the big one you missed?
it sounds tricky to program to me
