The intraday trader has a sense of impatience and wants to take multiple quick trades on small time frames. This is the main weakness or the impulsive behavior that needs to be brought under control . It is only those intraday traders who check the main trend and the confluence of their trading rules before taking the trade that survive the long battle and turn out to be winners in the long run.The intraday traders keep testing all the different indicators on live markets and do not stick to one method .

This is the reason we are discussing this point in length. whatever is the trading strategy that a trader uses, it will have its share of losing trades. It depends entirely on you money management methods that will decide the success of trading career.
