Can you be a profitable trader without a fixed chart pattern strategy or strict risk management?
May sound stupid but trading feels like one of the few fields where the rules are genuinely fluid. There's no single "correct" way to do it. Some traders scalp in and out in seconds, others hold for weeks. Some have a 10% win rate and still print money because their winners are enormous. Others win 80% of the time but keep positions small. Trend followers, mean reversion traders, news traders... somehow, versions of all of them exist profitably. Can't you just improvise depending on the day or it it just not feasable for the human brain?
