Follow (react) to your indicators, do not lead (second-guess) them
Don't be too concerned with the exact (zig-zag micro) path of the trend, but make sure to follow it.
Spend more time analyzing what IS happening and less on second-guessing what's next.
Spend just as much time confirming a trend than gaming its demise.

Be a "contrarian" in HOW you operate and think not necessarily in what/when you trade.

jump on a new trend (direction) AFTER its begun *and* past reversal has been confirmed, not precisely when you think its about to start.
Same for jumping off it.

The markets speak in eloquent tones - with your job to interpret what they're saying - while leaving your emotional biases for others to worry about.

the advent of T/A computer programs allows anyone to draw charts with more lines, squiggles, and oscillators than ever before. that's the first mistake anyone attempting to use T/A makes. understand the classic T/A before you worry about 14 different oscillators or other multiple tools.

In real estate it's location, location, location.
In trading it's discipline, discipline, discipline.
