Reject Tantalizing Gifts
"Atreus: Who would reject the flood of fortune's gifts? Thyestes: Anyone who has experienced how easily they flow back."
— Seneca, Thyestes
I have had a good think about today's meditation and I can't really compare this to trading, unless perhaps we could say the tantalising gifts of being given free tips/predictions etc. falls into this category! We will obviously reject these out of hand, as we stick to our own trades using the rules/criteria for our strategies, that we verify ourselves and this means that we are taking full ownership of our own trades and maintaining our consistency too of course.
Jumping on the trades of others with no research can lead us into serious trouble and by sticking to what works for us, we are protecting our bank to stay in the game for future battles!
The best gift that doesn't have a catch is TTM. So use the various channels and the website and find yourself a strategy that suits you the best and give it a try; because together, we are all trading the market!
