So at the moment, other than books ranging some key topics and fundamental data, I try and avoid adding any new outside information to my trading. Often times new information causes me to second guess winning trades or on these forums there are posts of people discussing how they have been failing for some odd year and reading that can cause a shift in my mind set sowing the seeds of doubt as to whether I'll make it as a trader. Because of how outside information has the potential to affect my trading decisions I shut most of it out. I'd also like to add that my trading is at a point that I've developed a plan and am seeing some positive results. But there is something missing from my trading life, a social aspect. I think that my trading could be improved by being a part of a community. I know that cutting out others opinions has been the right choice at this point in my development, is there going to be a point where that won't be the case any longer?
