I have to disagree with you on intuition part. In my opinion, great trading is intuitive trading, based on opinionless egoless (even selfless) state of mind, when trader becomes the market, feels it, breath with it, mirrors it... as opposed to analyses and tries to predict it. Really, if stock market were driven by logic relatively easy to comprehend, don't you think we would see way more winners? :) But, as Gene noted in his very good response, you can't possibly expect intuition to come to you on your first month of trading (nor on third nor on fifth). It's not divine intervention. It comes to you after years of hard work and thousands of trades, when all the information collected reaches some critical mass and your right half of brain becomes capable to recognize situation without analysis done by left half.
It's hard to believe how effortless trading becomes when it happens to you.
I don't want to go into deep details of this, there are 4 great books on this topic:
Tao of Trading
Zen in the Markets
Intuitive Trader
The Way of Warriour Trader
