Well said, indeed. Using instincts when trading may have the probability of working out well, if founded and based upon the knowledge and experience a trader has gained through time. In this way, instincts are gut feeling and impulse reaction which are somehow molded from the past learnings.
But not all instincts can be true and the same at different times in every trade, because when the market position starts to reverse direction, it is not stated in an instinct, because it is just a guess that sometimes can be right so the trader can win, but not every time.
