    Why does TA not work (for you)?

    Do you know of any publications discussing HFT? I'd like to learn a little more about it.

    Why does TA not work (for you)?

    Small retail traders have a great edge compared to the institutions. They can get in & out very quickly because they don't have to worry about size.

    Why does TA not work (for you)?

    Do you think a trader who did nothing but watch charts all day long could be an exceptional trader if he said the reason for his success was his money management or his decision-making process after entering a trade, instead of saying that charting was the reason?

    Why does TA not work (for you)?

    I kind of lean towards agreeing with what you've said. The traders I've seen that are successful by watching charts seem to be very skilled at what you stated above. I think most of the patterns & other stuff result in a 50/50 chance overall. I'm not even sure how you would say if a...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    But it would seem to me that depending on your trading method you may be able to almost disregard how much you lose on each trade. A daytrader has an automatic stop-loss which is the end of the day. Perhaps somebody has a method where they take 1 trade per day & hold it until the day is...

    You've mentioned her a few times. Do you have high-functioning autism as she did?

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    I agree. I like the term "forum bombing". :) It's actually very strange. I don't understand why he & his followers just started posting in this thread like all of a sudden it's the Jack Hershey thread. Why not just start an actual Jack Hershey thread?

    Huh???? Anyway, never mind about those posts. Just a crazy conspiracy theory I came up with. :) Good luck with your trading !

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Some Jack Hershey somwhere probably does. We don't even know if Jack Hershey is the real name of this person. People usually have a fake name when posting on internet forums. I doubt that Jack Hershey is really "Jack Hershey". :) Anyway I think the Jack that posts here knows a lot of...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Look at these posts from "Jack" made 8 minutes apart. The first one is riddled with grammatical errors; the second one is almost perfect. POST FROM JACK 6-24-12 12:23 PM Thank you for your attention to detail. My post was correct and how I did the MADA using a system. This means to...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    There are a lot of links that pop up if you type in "paid forum posters" on google. Makes you wonder a little more about what you read & who you think wrote it. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the Jack Hershey posts weren't really written by Jack Hershey. I haven't read too many of...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Thanks for the reply sir. You get me & Mysteron mixed up, but I will say now that I definitely don't need this thread. It's enjoyable to read it, but if anyone actually thinks they "need" a thread then they are doomed. If they need this one how many other threads do they need out there...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    I found this on the internet........thought it was appropriate. I must stop reading the internet !!! :) Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    You & Redneck say not to read trading books..............to stop listening to other people...............to stop searching for trading tips..................and instead to think for yourself & actually use your brain. But then you post charts here that require passwords & talk about actual...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    I get what you're saying. I've gotten past the first stage you mentioned...."Kept deluding myself into thinking someone has just gotta know something – however small the tidbit... and by damn I will find it…." I was stuck in that stage for an embarrassingly long time.........years &...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Wait a minute.................you & TO "never" read or watch tv................or do you just mean during the trading day? Well now that I think about it...........you're both reading my posts, & your spending your time doing it, and my posts are trading-related, so in reality you are paying...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    I'm stuck in "search" mode because I read a trading book at the book store while I'm relaxing with a cup of coffee? Stuck because I watched Wall Street Warriors on youtube? Don't you ever read or watch tv? I find the trading world interesting so I enjoy reading & watching about it. I...
