You are the Holy Grail

I have printed out every cheat sheet, chart pattern, and diagram on the internet.  I have tried every strategy and indicator there is.  Years ago I was testing out a new indicator and I started to change the settings hoping that I would discover some secret no one knew about.  As I continued to change the indicator I finally realized that I had changed the indicator so much that the indicator line was exactly the same as the price action candles were.  I stopped using indicators that day.  I now focus on MORE-market structure, order flow, risk, & execution.  Shifting your focus away from indicators will help you develop a viable trading system as you study pure price action and try to profit by interpreting the language of price. You will start to see subtle clues in your charts that can be relied upon to give you trading ideas that you can morph into a trading system.  You need to understand how the market is structured, find good trade locations where winners and losers are getting in an out of the order flow and then stay on the right side of the prevailing order flow.   

The path to success is to change your thinking and how you approach trading.  The right mindset gives you realistic expectations of what is possible and the confidence to build on successes and to keep momentum going.  Momentum helps you get through roadblocks and setbacks.  Instead of switching strategies, looking for new indicators, cheaper brokers, etc. focus on your thinking and execution.  Properly handling the uncertainty inherent in trading will help you perform better. 

Retail traders need to understand the vast difference between how Retail and Professional traders conduct their activities.  Once you understand why Retail traders are losing you can make the necessary changes to your own activities and become a successful trader.  

The winning trades are in your charts.  How you execute your orders is entirely up to you.  You have no control over what the market does but you have 100% control over what you do.  Stop looking for answers outside yourself and look inward.  You are the Holy Grail.
