I've recently come to a profound understanding of the essence of trading: The more eager you are to make money, the more likely you are to lose it. What we need to do is "wait for opportunities," not "make big money." Blindly trading when the market is flat is a recipe for disaster. When I was a novice trader, I always stared at the 1-minute chart and traded there. The result was continuous losses. What you need to do is determine the overall direction from a larger timeframe and then determine entry points from a smaller timeframe. Then, the rest is about strictly adhering to stop-loss/break-even orders. Never let greed prevent you from using stop-loss orders; think of them as the cost of trading. 9000-37000U Keep trying.
