I need to create rules! I must never violate these rules! I must continue to monitor my susceptibility to making errors! I must look at the market objectively!

Just a quick one on the comment on your youtube video.
Speed was mentioned (and IMO you need to be quick as a scalper, front of the queue and all that) and you mention a laptop. I find "touch" mouse on a laptop can really slow you down. Spend a fiver on a usb mouse, you'll probably find trading all day will cause rsi, so maybe even buy an ergonomic one.
Won't help your mindset but it might make you quicker and it'll help your hands

Thanks mate...the reason i first asked about an "Edge" was because i thought there was a definate way of telling which way the price was going that even my granny would notice, i now realise that its superior knowledge that creates the edge
