What if the most reliable moves occur at time frames higher than the ones we watch?
Are we trading to make money, or are we watching markets to trade?
What if our best trading comes from following multiple, independent positions over longer time frames and not from piling into short-term trades of individual positions?
What if we're focused on playing the game better when there's a better game we should be playing?
