To which I'll add:

There are only three things that "help me make trade decisions".

1) a really solid backtest

2) confidence in my ability to terminate any trade "without
prejudice", as the saying goes

3) remembering that crooks are drawn to money games like cockroaches
to spoiled food

I can never remember which of these "helpers" is the most important,
however.  But number 2 will save you if you forget number 3, or if
number 1 suddenly proves to be not so useful going forward.
