    I find that it’s important to remember that sometimes there is no reason a trade was unsuccessful that can be attributed to trading decision. Sometimes prices move because of outside unpredictable news. A institutional broker can make a large move that can unexpectedly reverse or accelerate a trend. Although we look for the non-random movement of prices, random happens.
