Two Types of Traders - Rules vs Breaking the Rules

@AryaStarky

I believe that there are 2 types of traders: those whose goal is to make money vs those whose goal is to follow rules.

I’m guessing you’re the “make money” type of trader. However:

I believe that in the 21st century no one should trade manually. Manual trading cannot be reliably back tested, so it is actually worse than gambling.

You’re also promoting the use of EA’s in your previous thread, which rely solely on strict rules, so you’ve contradicted yourself a bit here.

But that’s okay because I think following some rules in order to make money go hand-in-hand, to a certain extent.

I’m not against EA’s or rules, but there are certain rules I find important to adhere to when it comes to TA.

I’ve learned a lot here on BP’s, not all good, most being subjective. In fact, I’ve had to unlearn most of what I used to believe would make me a profitable trader.
