[USER=2975]@ducati916[/USER], thanks for sharing your thoughts on risk management and trading. I appreciate your insights and can relate to many of the points you've made. Like you, I've learned the hard way that risk management is crucial for success in trading, and I'm always looking for new ways to improve my trading. Risk management is a pivotal element for sustainable trading success.

I must admit that I've never been one to plan out my ideas and post them in chronological order, as my thoughts often come to me more randomly and spontaneously. However, I do try to ensure that my ideas are well-organised, measured and easy to follow, even if they don't necessarily follow a strict order format.

Incorporating technical analysis and a "Buy Filter" has allowed me to achieve consistent returns over the long term, while also exposing me to the short-term volatility of the market. Technical analysis plays a huge role in my trading by helping me identify potential opportunities, but I've found that over-reliance on it can lead to a situation where the tail is wagging the dog, ultimately hindering my trading performance at times.

In light of your comments, I recognise the importance of continually assessing and refining my trading ideas to achieve optimal results. By sharing my ideas and experiences, in a collaborative learning environment others can benefit from diverse perspectives posted to enhance their trading.

My current thinking - "There must be a better way"

I'm currently exploring the idea that there might be a better way to invest my time and energy, and I'm considering passive investing as a potential solution. This approach could free up my mind to focus on other pursuits and allow me to break free from the constant stress of trying to beat the market.
