Depending too much on them can result in big losses.

Test the Plan

Your plan is a big part of the trading process. To process the entire trading system, an investor should develop a good strategy. Some traders implement the strategy immediately after making this. By doing this, they bring about their own doom. A plan should be trailed before applying in the real field. You should bear in mind that a good plan can be fail in the market for several reasons. So, if a trader applies it in the virtual field, he will able to be sure whether it works or not.
