“My biggest challenge has been confidence…”

Feedback in:

Hi Michael, My biggest challenge has been confidence. I’ve been a rules-based discretionary trend following trader using short-term (days to a couple of weeks) options and I struggle with having the confidence to stick with my system because of all the decision making involved during the course of a trade. I think that I’d rather find a mechanical system that I know will work over time and just go with that.

I would not describe your approach now as trend following. Rules-based + discretionary = inconsistent logic. Day trading? Not trend following. Jump in below with a path to learn.

Learn the rules behind trend following, and the systems to apply them.
