If I am not learning how to trade successfully from my victories and my defeats, then I have little hope of long term success. Long term success is my primary ambition and blaming anyone or group but myself is outside of my framework of operation. I have a brain, access to charts/financials, and the capacity to anticipate and make decisions- so why would I entrust any decision or blame anyone but myself? I may follow someone or a group into a trade, but if I blame anything but my own analysis & decisions for a loss, then I am missing the lesson that keeps me from making the same mistake again. A mistake that isn't made twice in the OTC is equal to the elimination of a liability on the balance sheet.
Blaming MM's, shorts, groups, & individuals = static trading. When I learn to anticipate all of the variables, then I have the advantage.
I have a long way to go before I can claim success in the OTC, it is highly possible it wont happen, but the obstacles are becoming more clear.
Best of luck,
GT
