The animal and insect allegories, and this very thread chimes with this man's sentiment

So many riddles for which it is often impossible to know what was in mind when stated. What is obvious to me for trading: An opportunity is a pre-requisite, a situation that has potential to be exploited for gain, and also of course, a trading method is required ready to be used when an...

Possibly an input or typo?

It all seems so easy trading in demo mode, 2 days results here and 25% gain, no big losses but it is demo and hence easy to take risk. This is a very skitish trading style not staying in too long and occasionally adding to a position if it begins to lose but still looks promising. On this day...

I think this thread developed away from the original message, to suggest that a process or systematic method is needed rather than trading haphazardly, but as far as the clue in the original message is concerned then adequate price range seems to be the obvious pre-requisite.

I'd have thought, based on what works for me, is that 'the obvious' is to have a clearly defined process of what instrument to trade, when to take an entry, when to take an exit for profit and when to accept a loss. Crank the handle day by day and let the odds play out, and above all not to be...

Having looked through some of your posts its not clear what your trading strategy is. It seems to use two moving average envelopes although sometimes you use one MA with two envelopes. For the case of two MAs each with an envelope, is your method to enter long when the fast upper band crosses up...

So looking specifically at a chart sideways you can see something that is not apparent from the normal view? Or are you simply implying more generally we should change our perspective.

Deep Thought is a computer that was created by the pan-dimensional, hyper-intelligent species of beings (whose three-dimensional protrusions into our universe are ordinary white mice) to come up with the Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. Deep Thought is the...

The notion of a trend may seem clear but it is in fact vague, hence this statement which is reasonable but not precise: A trend is the tendency for price to continue in the same direction with respect to a particular timescale. SNDK appears to be trending down, according to the yellow line...

APA, SNDK - don't know what the spread is though. A trend is the tendency for price to continue in the same direction with respect to a particular timescale. For the pased 4 months APA has been trending down. For the past 4 days APA has been trending up.The down trend on the monthly scale may...

I see a signature at times and then something else at other times, which is obvious to me, but perhaps not to others and perhaps it is not what you refer to. But you are evading the question as to the specific obvious relating to the OPs first post. You profess to know what that obvious is, so...

J_Smith you seem to side stepping the obvious point that achilles28 is probing you about, so I will ask it. Taking for example this chart that you posted, does that chart by itself without referring to any other information contain what you understand to be 'the obvious'?

I recall watching a free video of his along time ago and had to give up on it. It was so tedious and purely because he is a vendor he didn't strike me as being credible. Having said that one comment he made which struck a chord within me was something along the lines of 'trade in the direction...
