A psychological warp? Does price action dictate all? A trader relies on good entry, a trader relies on good exit? To enter, a trader has to assume market direction, easy stuff? Then to top all this off thay have to exit, even easier? There must be areas within price action where most losses occur, consolidation can definately throw people off the scent or so to speak, but anticipation must be a traders worst enemy? Price action never lies, we only lie to ourseves! Traders always tip " remember 'entry' and 'exit' ", no s**t! S&R can become a nightmare to newbies if they do not approach with an open mind, you know, even the most experienced traders get stuck in a rut from time to time. Stops.....stops, in order, we have ENTRY with a STOP, and an EXIT value to a trade, thats 3 points of the market to analyse just to open a position (tossing a coin can only help with one, the entry!), the other 66.6666666 and so on % is up to the individual! Price action and all its attributes varies the importance in statistical terms each component to varying %'s or ratios, this, IMHO, is essential to understand. P.S. i'm still trying! RB.
