	You would be surprised how many traders communicate with a view for strokes. Imagine you are lacking in confidence about a planned or open trade or a change to your trading system. One approach would be to do the work to test out the idea with your test data, another could be to ask someone else on a trading forum. The second method is the lazy way.     It gets a positive stroke if someone says "Yes, I like it.".     It gets a negative stroke if someone says "It does not make sense - I think this." Before you know it you are trading whims and tips again, not your trading system.     Worse still, to those others on the forum, your idea is potentially a whim or tip.     You have passed on an infection, to those as weak as yourself, as damaging as the flu. Grow up - build slowly your own trading system and with it your self-confidence.     Sure you can get ideas for market behaviours and trading systems from others but be sure to verify the market behaviours for yourself and make sure your trading system remains in line with the market behaviours you have identified and documented. Consider if your perception of failure is getting in your way.		Welcome Self Assessment Links Inner Tendencies What's New Contact Us CALM Secrets Tip of the Week Risk of Ruin
