Traders specialize in setups and their thinking and behavior is driven by their understanding of setups. If they don't find their setups they do not trade.
They know a vast amount about their own setups and why they work but they do not necessarily are experts on others setups.
If you talk to lot of successful traders you will find they had real breakthrough once they discovered a setup and focused on it. During the Stockbee Advanced Bootcamp many successful traders presented how they arrived at their setups. Before that they were also struggling. Once they discovered their setup it allowed them to focus their time and effort and organise around it.
If you do not understand the concept behind setup selection you will struggle for many years. You will flirt from ideas to ideas. You will curse the market. You will say market is rigged. You will say everyone is out to get your money.

If you have well defined setup you will know instantly your entry, exit stops rules and not be a clueless person post entry. You will not be asking others what you should be doing or what is the target on this stock.
If you have well defined setup, you will not be easily influenced by any and every new tactic people talk about or sell as the new new thing.
