The "initial balance" is one of the best tools to map the market—It is simply the range (high & low) of the first hour of the trading day.
Very powerful tool to identify market bias and set stops or take profit orders.

The illusion of a high Risk/Reward:
Having an extreme risk ratio is a mirage because it is not consistent and can skew your psyche to make more mistakes than usual. So is it really worth it to aim for extreme R/R all the time? No.

Compounding
You may have heard of martingaling, but how about pyramiding?
It's the same concept except you add to your position as it goes your way!
Very safe way of getting ideal size. Think of it as helping the other buyers or sellers push in your direction.

Market environments
Would you wear snow boots to the beach? Perhaps, but in trading this would cost you a lot. Identifying which and when market environments change is key to capital preservation and profitability. Why would you run trending strategies on a choppy market?

Compounding the psyche
Running hot and running bad are not by chance.
The mind will take whatever you give it and will work on it and amplify it. When running bad, traders must do 1 of 2 things:
1) Improve morale
2) Stop trading until morale improves

How to find your edge
1) Identify a pattern in the market
2) Define and categorize this pattern
3) Start betting on this pattern
Iterations and plain odds may void your pattern. This is where discretion comes in to protect against this.
