Whatever you do, whatever you think, if you are not focused at all, you'll just walking in the same spot.
It is my concern that most of us do lot of things while they hardly can give same focus to each of things they are focusing into. In war when you lost focus, you might probably:
1. Shot your friend by mistake and later shot by the laughing enemy because you slaughter the team for them.
2. Shot by your enemy easily and dead
3. Shot by your friend purposely because you are in the way of their survival
4. Saved by strong ally, man of war which is extremely unlikely
So the conclusion is when you are not focus, the chance you are dead multiplied geometrically compare to when you are focus.

Maybe you already got the point, focus is really important in real life or in trading,
Now I want to bring this topic into trading,
Suppose you are trading using combination of system like listed below:
crossover - stochastic, moving average, MACD, CCI, Osma,
OB (Overbought) OS (Oversold) - RSI, bull bear, alligator, williamK%, ROC, ATR, MFI,
other system - bollinger band, Fibonacci ratio, support-resistance, candlestick, pivot point, pitch fork, ichimoku, heiken ashi, parabolic SAR, etc
or using expert advisor like - boomerang, fapturbo, swissarmy, MACD crossover, indrafx, etc.
(I'm sure, at least you already heard one of the "thing" that I mentioned above)

You know how to use all of them (In my case, I know 80% of the "Thing" that is mentioned above), but result not coming to you, instead of winning, you are drowned in complication of the system, and ask "When I need to buy?", "When I need to cut loss?", "When I need to take profit?", "When I need to trail my profit?"
In the end when it is time to do all of them, you only freeze and still wondering, what to do right now?
It feels like your body want to move to the right but your body instinctively want to move left, in the end you just not moving.

I know that is the frustration that is experienced by every trader, we are always looking for the best inside the system, but we are stuck into swarm of information and we are stuck focusing in finding the best system while forgetting what the real deal is investing in ourselves so we can be the master of the "Thing" we use.
yup, that means focusing more in one "thing" and forget about others.

If you still can't get it, I tell you bluntly, choose from one of the "thing" or whatever you think the best and live with it forever, period.

If you still don't get it, maybe this quote from master of martial art will open your mind.
" I fear not the man who has practiced 10000 kicks once, buy I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10000 times" Bruce Lee

I have realized this three years ago and try to change my way of focusing, I improved really much, but in reality, sometime I still fall to the same pit where I let myself tempted hehehe...this is until big accident happen and I come to realization what is important for me. Lesson learned.

After falling about 100 times (I think it is more, but still below Edison who fall 1000 times or maybe 10000 times?), I come to realization stick with what is working and forget the others, that is good realization, buy the negative thing is..... it is such a boring thing, cause morning.... it's "THAT", afternoon, it's "THAT", night.... it's "THAT", tomorrow....it's "THAT", next week "THAT", next month "THAT", next year "THAT".

you may say that is insanity, but I'd say that is loyalty, that is commitment, strong one that keep our focus only to the "Thing". Ask parents you know who celebrate diamond wedding and maybe you'll learn what is it hehehe.

Last question is, "How bad do you want the profit? it's not a matter of boring, it's a matter of profit." you decide.

Good luck, may this article entertain you to some extend or if you think this is careful, come back to my blog, I'll release my simple system that you can use to decide with what system you want to dedicate your system.

Have a nice day
