Zaheer,

This is certainly true. However, trading on intuition or on a market
overview is different than trading without a method, which involves
jumping from idea to idea frequently. The traders you refer to have a
consistent approach over time. The original point was that money is
lost when traders change approaches so often that nothing has a
fair chance to work. It need not be mechanical. Success is possible
with fuzzy ideas if applied consistently.
