Zatoichi – the way of the sword

I recently started watching the zatoichi series of movies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zatoichi) about a master swordsman who helps the innocent. The key that keeps you watching is that he is blind yet his skills rival that of master samurai. Its a movie after all but for some reason it reminded me of how things move in the stock market.

 I find the markets are blind and will cut you down mercilessly if you take it on. Instead the way is to go with market. Easier said than done but 2 things that have kept me in the game are going with the trend and cutting losses short. The moment you add human emotions, you lose. Yet machines have not been able to consistently meet the market. What gives!
