Most traders know their rules but don't follow them. The Art Of Crypto compares it to weight loss: you know what to do, but doing it consistently is the real problem. The fix is turning rules into automatic execution, not finding better rules.
A lot of the times we know what our rules are. If you don't know what your rules are, that's a way bigger problem. You should definitely fix that first. But if you have some sort of rules, then the solution to getting consistent at trading is to simply follow them. It's kind of like losing weight, right? If we really break it down, if we really distill it down, losing weight is just about eating less and moving more. Like, forget all the tactics and forget all the fancy stuff. That's all it boils down to. And yet, why are still so many people fat? That's what you've got to focus on, right? It's that gap between knowing what you should be doing And being able to do it, that like, if you can kind of bridge that gap, that is how you finally start making trading feel easy.
