    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    A change in color would be important I think. If price has been rising & it's green, green, green, green, then you start seeing a different color hitting the bid or below the bid then maybe you need to be alert. I don't know what the "R" word is, but it would seem to me that size, color, and...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Ok, how about Big Size & Color Change? I don't have an answer for the first one yet. I set my CL (Oil) time & sales to a size filter of 10 the past couple days which I thought was fairly small. I was surprised how few prints there were of 10 or more contracts. Can the big guys disguise...

    That is a very good setup you describe there (depending on some other variables), at least for me. Just one of many though. And actually you can trade without a pre-defined setup which is also very good sometimes. It all depends. I'd like to say thanks to TO & Redneck & all the other...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Know any good sources to learn how to use time & sales from? I've had it up before during the day, but it's meaningless when you don't know what you're looking for. I'll pay attn to the levels tomorrow & see if I notice anything. Is it best to put a size filter on it? Has anyone found...

    What stands out the most is the Intel chip; I guess that would be the equivalent to the brain in a human.

    John Boyd invented the OODA loop. He was supposedly very skilled at "thinking". Some people compare his teachings to Sun Tzu's Art of War. What is Cycle No 3?

    Is Trading Just Guessing?

    Anything can happen when you place a trade; it could go up or down; there could be an earthquake & the exchange could close. Therefore placing a trade is based on a guess; there is no other alternative. But if I had to choose the guesser I'll take the one with years of experience who has...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Has anyone given the correct answer to the thread's title yet? The obvious is not obvious because the majority of people do not know how to think correctly. Short & sweet.

    I'd like to recognize & eliminate these "trigger" words. :( What's a successful, positive word I can use to replace "asshole"?

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    The Oracle asked a perfectly sensible question....."What the f__ are ye doing?" I think the same things when I read your posts to Jack Hershey. Are you just doing some kind of experiement to see what strange shi$$ Jack will say? If I went into a coma for 20 years & then woke up and the...

    crude light marathon

    You seem to have a problem with the word "trend". All it usually means to most people is that price is moving one direction or another. Nothing too exciting there. You could also call it a swing, gyration, etc. I don't understand why you think what you or Cheese is saying is any different...

    crude light marathon

    How does this 15 cent distance trading work when CL runs 1500-2000 ticks with out looking back? CL has huge runs quite often. It doesn't just gyrate back & forth in nice little increments. Cheese always says trade the gyrations. Just buy the bottom of the swing and sell the top of the...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Jack, I've heard plenty of intelligent people speak about various subjects in my life, and they were all easy to understand & follow for the most part. You, on the other hand, are about as easy to understand as a 3-year old speaking gibberish. Maybe you should "fail to traverse" in this...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Thanks for the answer. That's pretty much the same thought process I'm using right now. I was wondering what you & TO think of Level2, Time & Sales, Market Profile. I've never really used any of them; wondering if they are worth learning about. I don't scalp, but I sometimes trade the...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Can you describe the thought process you would go thru when deciding what to do here? We already know our risk beforehand. Price is at a pivot high. Price has been going up. I don't see a good reason to go short or long right now. Price will often chop at a significant pivot high as...

    I haven't "got" anything. I'm not profitable yet. I never said I wouldn't be returning. I enjoy reading this thread (regardless of who The Oracle & NYSEStocks are). I'm not sure if what I posted came out exactly as it was organized in my head. :) I didn't mean anything as an insult or...

    I am not consistently profitable. Maybe next week. :) I do feel like the knowledge I've accumulated is valuable, but I was just wondering last night who these people are posting all of this stuff. It just seems strange to me. They may be a group of people who decided to try & help trader...
