Many market surprises can be avoided if you know where to look for warnings. If you see a sign Landmines on the side of the road, you're not going to walk into that field. Similar signs are posted along some of the market roads. Inexperienced and undisciplined traders who ignore those signs can get lucky for a while—but eventually walk into a real explosion.
