Why Are We Such Suckers For Prediction? / InvestorEducation / Trader Psychology
By: Charles_Maley
I keep CNBC on all day while I work. Perhaps I think I will miss something, or maybe it’s the background noise that’s appealing.

This makes formulating good trading strategies practically impossible.

Why System Trading Is Ultimately Discretionary / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade

I think successful traders realize a few important things that escape the failures. It doesn’t seem to matter if they trade discretionary or with systems, they all seem to know that the market is the boss. They are defensive and have a great deal of respect for risk.
