I make a trade based on the information available. a couple candles later I'm 30 pips in the hole. I look at the chart and it's pretty obvious it was going to go that way. How come I can't see it before I make the trade? The same info is there. The only thing the two candles after the fact have done is confirm what I should've seen.

Is this a common problem for newbies?

there are so many different variables to making a trade and I think I miss 1/3 to half of them (depending on the situation) every trade I make. It's only in hindsight that I say "Ya, why didn't I look at that?".

Forex in some ways is so easy. the information is all there. But it can be so hard to make good decisions. Please tell me it gets better with practice!

A lot of things end up comming back my way, but I miss so many pips in between!

Is this really better than gambling?
