No you don't. Think of it as positive reinforcement for negative behavior: sure, sometimes trading without a plan will pay off, and you'll make money.....but most of the time it will just bite you in the ass.
i don't know just yet, i keep statistics on all my trades, especially since i have a plan. something is not finetuned enough, i keep overlooking things like the pivot points for a bounce and so on. dp is staring right in my face and i should have considered it to be bouncing. well, wasn't really touched though. i'm too eager at the moment, i guess.

Skyzer, just look at charts of bonds against USD (based on extremes)

1986-1996: USD 130 to 80; Bonds 78 to 115
1996-2002: USD 80 to 120; Bonds 115 to 94
2002-present: USD 120 to 72; Bonds 94 to 130

So there is an obvious progression there, no matter what reasons there are, ifs, buts, whys, etc. Whenever bonds rise USD does the opposite, so now price action in bond's monthly chart looks weakening (H&S+F), so it is logical to conclude that USD will respect historical correlation and will move in the opposite direction to US bond market.

Nice Hatch.. You might become a trader yet. Your only crime was forgetting to tell the peanut gallery where, when and how to go **** themselves..

Trade your plan regardless of the lamentations of the many, most of whom will look upon trading as a painful memory in one year's time.

I'm long EJ with a tight stop as promised .. Risk/reward is off the charts from this level..

according to this chart, we could revisit 3495 easily.
Yes. Betting counter trend requires a convincing reason. The three weekly candles (doji) in the last consolidation period was a good enough reason. That worked out well didn't it

I try to have a reason for placing a trade. Sometimes I'm wrong

The best plans are mechanical. Something that doesn't leave decisions to the whims of the trader. I think you need to come up with one. Just come up with a simple plan and test it bar by bar over the weekend. You will soon find out if your plan is really profitable or not.

The less we have to think, the better because traders always make imperfect decisions. We all need guides to tell us what to do. It is not really difficult to come up with a set of rules and backtest their effectiveness. If you don't come up with a plan, it just means that:
1)You are still unsure of what you want to do with your signals. At most, you are guessing about the direction of the market because you have no confidence to say that it will work. You are attributing your success largely to lady fortuna.
2)You will always be missing out on something or overlooking a set of rules or some magical thing that made you miss out on a move/get out of a move. This will always happen if you leave the trading decision to the trader. We are hardwired to connect instances together. Sometimes just because we missed that move we blame ourselves for not respecting pivots when in fact it could be just because the market wanted to move.

Must always have rules... my 2pip worth
