I personally don't have a set philosophy because I'm new to trading. I have a few strategies that I try to use, but I really have just been learning as much as I possibly can.. I've tried to buy signals but that was a waste.. my philosophy is "if you trade with your own money, don't rely on someone else to be in control of the trades you take, that way you're responsible for your own money".. I lost 300$ trying to use someone else's signals.. not good.
