Im also more or less a newbie, but i think patience is very important, if you dont feel like trading or feels just too messy for you, just dont trade, and wait for those nice breakouts and you still wont be everytime right. My biggest problem was also overtradin, and chasing markets,... Its better to miss a oportunity then too lose capital. I think im gettin there, and i think just my patience did that for me, cause i really wait for nice "moves", and if looks messy for me just dont trade, its also not bad to take a day off... About a short/long term trading, thats what you have to decide, what does work for you, how much time you have, and other factors..
