I guess for me, the way I beat the market is, I have it in my mind to not try and beat the market. I always feel I cant beat it, so I trade in a way that allows me to go with the flow of the markets and adjust to its movements. For me at least this has been the way to consistent profits. The market starts to feel like more of a tide that ebbs and flows, and when you feel you can go in either direction, the emotion gets less and less and you just sort of "go with the flow" if you know what I mean.
