"got to be on the right side. too bad our psyche gets in the way at time."
Right.
But, the way around that is to get good oscillator indicators and trust them and buy/sell them. Goes against the psyche grain, sure. But that's what we get paid for in this game.
Another must is to have an iron-clad personal rule to take only small losses, and never let any loss run. One doesn't have to be right on initial direction even half the time if he/she will stay with that rule 100% of the time.
