Many people are always complaining that the market is hard to trade, but in fact they are just making excuses for their lack of understanding and poor execution. The market has always been a fair yet brutal game, always following the 80/20 rule, with a few making profits and the majority paying the price. Truly consistent and stable traders are those who understand the trend, follow the trend, and execute the trend. Going with the trend is the most core survival rule in trading.
