There is no successful trading without a solid understanding of how market participants behave and think. Volume/price always comes first: a clear understanding of what’s behind price movements eliminates the need for lagging indicators. The only way to succeed in the markets is to think in terms of series of trades. Trading success is the by-product of professional execution. Executing a few proven setups over and over again. Preparation and planning greatly increase the chances of winning. The two most important tools to control results are self-discipline and strict risk management.
