Stick to what works for you is a perfect advice and it will be best everyone follow the advice but the sad truth is that not everybody listen to advice being shared to them. They believe that they're better and have better advice to give than what others are advising. It's good to have self confidence but don't be ignorant when you don't have the information being shared to you. Information is power and money because with the right information, you can make use of it to become wealthy but the ignorant people miss out on this opportunity. For exchange, I make use of Binance exchange the most because they just have everything that is suitable for my trading and furthermore have a high liquidity. For the factors , I don't open a position for a trade that I know very well that what I'll be doing is a gamble since I haven't done any analysis on the trade and only getting influenced by hype, I avoid such trade as much as I can.
