Control or not You still need to understand what is happening Alot of pro traders have no concept of how their own process works and start to give advice to people who have no concept how the market works so we get these: let winners run Cut your losses Dont pay attention to anything Keep it simple Blah blah The blind leading blind Except there is ine major difference When a new trader looks at chart there is nothing in the background When a pro trader looks at chart he sees everything that is relevant to the price action Like the conditions of entire marker The reaction to news Or potential reaction to type of news The patterns Level 2 data and how it affects or might affect price Rumors and how they affect the price Financial documents or lack of There is much more going on in pro trader's head than a new trader's head... Problem is that alot of pro traders are not aware of the actual process because it runs in the background And you basically cant explain it to new traders
All of them are concepts that require alot of background understanding to implement its like breathing. the concept is easy. The execution more complicated than that
