Yes, I agree, Trading in the real world probably is the more difficult task of the two.

(just on that point Tom has said many times, that women often make the better traders, as they are less likely to take risks that are too large for their account, and generally stick to rules much better than men )

I also find my chart analysis is better than my trading, and to help myself I spent about six months with an educator in a (paid) online trading room a couple of years back, which was a big help. This was a big thing for me as I do not spend money easily....even on myself.
