Your win loss trade average should be 70/30 +-. 5% Employing a money management strategy of a gain stop ratio of 3/1 trading equal investments is like an insurance program. It allows you to loose 7 out of ten trades and still make money over the whole ten trades. If you don't understand that philosophy I'll explain.

A lot of people loose for a couple of reasons. One they trade to often rather than put the work into finding the best setups. There are 3500 stocks on the Canadian exchange and close to 10,000 more in the US. to choose from with very good value and excellent chart setups if they do the research. But instead they buy something their neighbour heard about from a guy who overheard someone talking in a bar.

Then if it goes up and they have a profit they don't sell. Greed sets in wanting it to go higher. Not recognizing the chart and indicators are saying the run is over and it is going into a down trend. Next it is underwater and they are afraid to sell cause they will take a small loss. Pumpers and Sharks ridicule the sellers as being weak hands. Call those who say it is now time to get out Bashers. And the losses just get bigger. The first part of any loss is always the smallest. Sound familiar ?

Venture exploration stocks is not investing. It is gambling pure and simple

If you trade you can't use line or mountain Charts. They don't provide enough information. Out of 12 separate Charting windows with various indicators I employ only one window with a line chart on a 3 day time frame to portray a simple historic picture OHLC or Candle charts are the traders choice.

I use Candles with time frames ranging from 5 minutes to Monthly. With 4 moving averages on my main working chart. 10 / 21 / 50 / 200.
My main indicators are,

BOP: which tracks larger orders,
TSV 22: with a 10 day Ma using the TSV as it's Data source so I can see how the indicator is reacting as compared to it's past.
MACD: Both standard 12/26/9 And a trimmed more responsive10/22/8 for early warning potential entry points.
Plus I use Trend lines extensively.
I also like the Ichimoku cloud. It takes a lot of study to grasp. But trading is not a hobby. It is a business so you do what it takes.

There are many great books written on Investing and Trading. Investing is Fundamental, Trading is Technical. But they should both be used in combination whenever a person lays their money down. They compliment each other very well.
