Hey @vkumar815, I get what you're saying about risk management being crucial, and discipline is obviously key. But honestly, in this current climate, especially with what's going on geopolitically, it feels like pure technicals sometimes go out the window. I saw a piece on YouTube yesterday discussing how these major global events can create massive spikes and drops that just aren't predicted by standard indicators. It's like the 'whale' players are reacting to news in real-time, and if you're not watching that too, your tight stops can get blown out. I mean, I've been watching gold dance around this 4640 level, and even with my stops in place, the volatility from the news headlines about the oil prices and that deep-sea mining exploration... it's making me rethink my whole strategy. It's not just about the R:R anymore, it's about anticipating those big displacements caused by external factors. Anyone else feel like the rules are changing?
