“The average trader focuses too much on big payoffs. This is a stock market mentality, i.e., buy it and ride it to the sky, or sell it before the crash. Trading is not about predicting and catching the “big” moves. This is “fantasy” trading. It is the “lottery” approach to trading which, in the end, pays off only for a very, very few. Trading is about “seeing” momentum and positioning with it, “seeing” trend and following it.”
