I always declare the technique to be most reliable when you want to quit gambling that is one must strat the day trading prices along with the gambling and he would attain self realization of his losses automatically. Thus his gut feeling would help him to give up on gambling and continue with the replica method.
indeed you will never find it easy to quit gambling , but since trading are so similar , why not you treat trading like gambling at first?
enjoy the process and you won't realize as time goes by you have switched your habit slowly step by step. sometimes trading feel like the most fun way to make money with less bad consequences. especially on the correct prediction , it is full of happiness.
