Like so many things in life, traders can also employ many methods of evaluating markets. These are like windows through which you peep into the trading room. The call is of an individual as to how to look at the markets. Some people decide to follow astrology, some people follow a/many Gurus and some follow tips on blogs, forums or on SMSs. I say to each his own pole to die on. I have no quarrel with any methods as long as they work for some one.
These certainly do not seem to work for me. Nor luck seems to favour me without trying hard. So for me the methods that work seem to be trying hard, deciding logical methods to trade and follow rules.
I wish I were lucky enough to make money without trying hard!
