    House of If You Can Draw A Straight Line

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing. And the smart guys get their hindsight in first. I'll also point out the Volume thread at TL. I go into all this preliminary support/fake climax thing there.

    Is a demo account waste of time?

    So your fear was generated by your inability to follow your system. That is a personal problem. It is not an inherent feature of trading. There is nothing to be afraid of in the market. But there may be a great deal to fear of oneself.

    House of If You Can Draw A Straight Line

    Well. I didn't anticipate getting up here so fast. But that's the market for you, the scamp. At this level, we could reach the upper limit of the channel on Tuesday. Then pull back. Then endure all the posts and threads about how the bull market is over. Again. (Which is why the market continues...

    Is a demo account waste of time?

    The adrenaline rush that one feels when he begins his session should not be confused with fear. If one is afraid of what he faces, then he has no thoroughly-tested and consistently-profitable trading plan. Not knowing the outcome of any particular trade or the future in general is the nature of...

    Is a demo account waste of time?

    Over the past twenty years, I've observed it many times in others as well, always because one is afraid of being wrong and losing money. This virtually guarantees that the beginner will be wrong and will lose money. Few beginners even have thoroughly-tested trading plans. If one is afraid of...

    Is a demo account waste of time?

    If you can't cobble together a consistently-profitable trading plan in demo, you sure as hell aren't going to be able to do it live. And without a consistently-profitable trading plan, you may as well rake all your money into a pile and set it on fire. At least you'll get some pleasure out of...

    Trading the SLA/AMT Intraday

    This isn't a journal but a trading thread. Even so, it's more or less closed. Your question, however, was addressed this morning, so you may want to read today's posts. Most of mine don't amount to much, so it shouldn't take long.

    Trading the SLA/AMT Intraday

    As I said earlier, I'll be posting charts with the SLA. Since you're doing something else, please confine your charts to your journal. Actually it would probably be best if I moved all this to TL. I'd rather keep it here, but focus will be important if those who are trying to implement this are...

    Trading the SLA/AMT Intraday

    Today was a practically perfect day for the SLA/AMT as virtually everything that is important was covered. Unfortunately, there's just too much to put on one set of charts, so I'm going to offer two sets, one focused on AMT and the other focused on the SLA. I quit before lunch, so the first...
