I would love to have Mr. Johnny Storm to day trade my money too. But what
if someone trading time horizon if more than one day? Then you have to have
an "opinion" or a "forecast" of the market direction. Does you "opinion"
clouded your thinking? I bet it does. And here you have to have a "theory"
or a "set of criteria" ("set of indicators") telling you that your opinion
is right or wrong and a plan what to do about it.
