Your assessment is right on.
I've spent 4 decades as a pure system player.
As the whales have proliferated, it has become more and more difficult for me to win with an absolutely systematic approach.
Within just the past few months I got a performance coach. She specializes in traders and contends that in her industry, there really isn't such a thing as "pure system plays."
She says that almost every single play has
gray areas.
Initially, I fought this tooth and nail, but eventually succumbed to the fact that she's correct: there really are a lot of
gray races.
Don't misunderstand - my play is still
based upon systems, components, and processes, but now I am a HYBRID player - much like an online chess player who uses software to suggest moves as well as playing the game himself.
Ultimately, the play you make is
YOURS - for whatever reason you make it.
