What makes trading an exact science is the frame of reference. Specifically, I consider "anticipation" as different from "prediction". Who cares if anyone reads something into my comments from a different vantage point? When a system is built from scratch using the dictates of the...

There is a simple starting point for answering this pertinent question. Potential traders do not have the mental resourses to pace the market's activity. They cannot keep up mentally. The solution is to use a display that can be completely annotated faster than the market moves. For...

Let me better define what is possible for anyone no matter how remote from a market. It is possible for mostly anyone to achieve excellence. Look at the demands for excellence: 1. Always be on the correct side of the market, and 2. Compound profits. To do 1. you: a. Annotate...

This is the home page of Behavioral Finance: http://behaviouralfinance.net/ On the right side in a box, you can find the topic BF or BS? just below the Word Introduction. Below is a reference to Andrew Lo who is the MIT recipient of a lot of NSF funding and he has, for some reason...

There are two major classes of toolsets. One deals with making money at a low velocity and the other deals with making high velocity money. Here the discussion is a little clouded since most participants do not know how doing orders works for them. As time has passed, decade by...

Most of the posts in this thread point out a very difficult problem most traders do not succeed in handling. A very new trader is often overpowered by how the market moves when he has such little understanding. As seen, a lot of people remain in a major trap regarding how time goes along...

Most platforms allow you to buy anytime you wish. A series of 5 minute bars could be 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, etc the period of hold could be from a few seconds up to 900 seconds. To make it interesting for this person trading OPM, he might wish to offset a bar open by number of seconds to...

Thank you for starting the thread. This summary comment on your views and experience is interesting to read. Modern trend summary comments, from my orientation, began to appear around 1790. This makes for a lots of good reads and allows a person to follow the path of the iterative...

LOL....

The person you quoted was making a strong effort to inform you. He is correct in his view. Categorically he is not speaking about FA or TA or FA and TA. He is speaking about the four category which is the title of the thread. The title may have been chosen by serendipitous means...

PVT DETAILS The universe is obtained with one mouse click. Learning to annotate stems from 10 cases. Use a platform that encases the internal cases in a yellow filled box and laterals in a blue filled box. Treat internals as one bar. Fully annotate all patterns on all fractals...

OVERVIEW This is late 2010. Here is my recommended plan , strategy, and routine to follow for the next 12 months. A person and his family MUST become immune to the developing Depression by following a CPM. Start with any small capitalization. Make several definite commitments...

Lets say you are a money managing trader. Just say yes to whatever they suggest except showing them how well you trade. They want to make money with their capital. Just give them a better deal than they can get elsewhere. They know the going rate, you are not the first they are...

There isn't much talk here about how things work nor who is figuring out such. Maybe someday a thread on the Brain and the Mind will emerge. It is a very intriguing experience to come to an undertanding of how things work. Most remarkable and poingnant is seeing a talented, trained and...

Personally, I believe your succinct and purposeful statement is where the expertise of the mainstream Conventional Wisdom resides. I didn't take that path after being trained in Engineering and Theoretical Physics. We both have strong reasons for following different paths. At first I...

There are two more trading fractal moves coming up to complete the three slow fractal moves on the slow fractal. the slow fractal had a dominant move up and a non domint move down. we are into the last move of the slow fractal. Move 8 is a "dip" or small retrace. It is seen as a failure...

You started an interesting thread. The Bull/Bear time horizons are always in effect. And money is there to be made on most faster time horizons. Fortunately, as it turns out those who let you trade will allow you to use a multiple strategy as long as it exceeds their time horizon in...

Between posts, as you say, is my most brilliant period. It will take you a little while to figure out the answer.

The answwer to each question is yes.

What this opening post brings up is a basic foundational aspect of trading any instrument. You wll not get many informative responses on this particular and very important set of considerations. It is not really a secret of how to read and trade markets, but it is not generally known how...
