Tyson after a while , it just becomes another trade.  You learn to play the
percentages.  
If you think of it in terms of percentages then you will have no trouble
pulling the trigger.

What you need to do is understand that every trade you make is a loser.  By
that I mean there 
is always risk involved.  If you can learn to limit the risks, then
naturally it is just a matter of time before
the risk percentages are kicking in and making you money. 

Market Analysis , and timing is not important.  The only important thing is
Risk analysis and everything else follows.  This is why 
you can not pull the trigger -- because you do not fully understand the
risks.  If you did then it would just become another trade.

If you want to trade for the long term -- the name of the game is survival,
and survial all depends on how safe you make the game.
