when i started everything seemed simple, buy low sell high, follow a few rules. two months of actually learning later i feel more confused than ever, every concept has exceptions, every rule has a counter-rule, and i second-guess every chart. is this a normal stage everyone passes through, or a sign im not cut out for this?
