I say this all the time , it is what YOU can see that will make you a trader , NOT you trying to see what others can. Like any other skill the more you do it the easier it is to see where you should do something and it should be clear and you should feel comfortable doing it . Not worry or question yourself.
It happens to not make you any money then you have to understand that they aren't all going to. But if you fret and worry and can't see the why then you can make yourselves crazy.
Think of miracles for a moment. I am not a religious person by any means but I have seen people get cured of seemingly incurable issues. That even doctors call miracles. Know of a person that meditated for good while that their eye sight would improve so that they wouldn't have to wear reading glasses. They actually accomplished that goal.
Their eye doctor was talking to them about it and they told him they had just envisioned themselves with good eyesight with no need to wear glasses and it happened.
The doctor went on to describe what would have had to taken place physically for that to happen. They told him yes if I had all that understand of WHY IT COULDN'T work then maybe I would not have had enough believe to see myself fixing it.
The idea behind that story and our trading is the same information overload and your having the capabilities to process all that information. This is why I tell everyone focus on what you can SEE then add to it. Having one good trading idea is really all a person should need to succeed.
I also agree that just because everyone else trades the gbp primarily doesn't mean that the other pairs should be forsaken. The less traffic on a pair the less volatility and clearer the moves.
Just keep doing what your doing and it will come to you , IT has to come you can't force it. the best you can do is to look over charts after trading and find YOUR setup and think about how it would look in REAL time.
Like a 1 and 5 o'clock entry will be printing a opposite color candle when you should have entered. Learn to see that in your minds eye that way when you see it in real life it isn't confusing .
You can even go so far as too paste your chart in Paint and change the candles to what they will look like during a entry .
Just some ideas to fast track your learning curves.
