Do you really have to blow up countless times to achieve that one success? Trading against the trend is a dead end. Don't try to catch the bottom; catching the bottom always leads to being wiped out. Only trading trend-following positions can have the chance to compound continuously. Trading in choppy or whipsaw markets is truly brutal. Also, avoid trading on weekends. In erratic markets, just cut losses quickly. Adding one more point: do not trade on weekends.
