Speculation is a competitive game, whitch means that in order to someone to win, most people must lose if we make an assumption that the amount of money on the market is limited to the deposits of it's participants. Since most people on the market lose someone must take that profit. So called Market Makers will do whatever it takes to make you take the wrong side of the trade and then take your money. In order to win you must have an edge; in other words you must learn to recognize when to trade and more importantly, WHEN NOT TO. Learn to recognize your patterns, because nobody will teach you how to trade - it's a skill based profession. You need to experiment. The more time you will spend in front of charts, the better you will be. This system is, in my opinion, perfect in protect you from taking stupid trades.
Just food for thought - if you take a trade according to rules and it instantly go other way, why not to take a small loss and look to enter in that new direction?
One more thing - are you guys familiar with Mark Douglas work? If not I strongly encourage to watch his seminars on YouTube and read his books - maybe it will change some way of thinking for someone.
