"MY TRADES JUST DON'T GO MY WAY. WHY DOES EVERYONE ELSE HAVE THEIR TRADES THEIR WAY?"
There are moments when traders complain that their trades just don't go their way. This says a lot about how they trade.
Let me explain why.
No matter how many times your trade seem to 'not' go your way. It should be more of a battle of attrition rather than a battle for perfection. Your trades don't go sometimes but you followed your strategy? That's fine, moments like those happen. Hence, the reason why you need stop losses for the invalidation of your strategy. Aside from counting your losses from following your strategy. Did you count how many wins you've got from following your strategy? If you didn't, then surely, you wouldn't appreciate yourself for strictly following your strategy. The realistic approach to trading is how you stay consistent and true to your approach. Rather than blaming this approach in case things go south. Never forget to be grateful for invalidations. They just prove that you will have to do greater with your following trades and every time you face these obstacles, you become even better and more experienced.
