    The Top 10 Bogus ISIS Stories

    It's important to note that much of the ISIS threat has been habitually overstated by an uncritical media. ISIS's violent bona fides are not in doubt to anyone paying attention. They've targeted religious minorities, beheaded aid workers, sold women into sex slavery and have been all-around...

    Well, again, maybe it's time to start following somebody at TL. You need to shock yourself somehow in order to move on to the next step.

    Just to be clear, that first pink arrow would likely not present much of a problem. It's close enough to the body of the range and short-lived enough that it probably won't present much resistance. That double top under the second arrow, though, is a whole different situation. Traders put much...

    I must have misinterpreted your reviews. It's key. If you can't follow and study and continuously evaluate price behavior without thinking about where you entered and how your trade is going and how much money you're making or losing, all that fear will come rushing back in and you'll be right...

    Observations (an example)

    Immaterial perhaps in terms of what one looks for. I'm primarily interested in where traders wouldn't go at all as well as where traders tried to go but couldn't hold. Your blue line shows the former. Your pink line could actually be a little lower (or maybe it's mine). I don't go with the...

    You say you're not trading but you write as though you have trades in your head. The chief difficulty is that you're coming at this as someone who had traded and wasn't satisfied with the result. Making all of that evaporate is difficult. Blocking it out is counter-productive. Perhaps you need...

    Do your end-of-session reviews contain all three elements?

    You appear to be stuck. I'm going to repost something I wrote quite a while back. If the timing is wrong, just ignore it. But you're a better judge of what you need than anyone else is. The review has at least three elements. At the very least, the review should cover the trades that were...

    Poll: If Judy Garland were alive today would she think dbphoenix is a pussy?

    I'm sure The 700 Club has an online presence. :)

    If Charlton Heston were alive today would he think tsing tao is an asshole?

    Sorry, I forgot about Maxine. Let's hope he wouldn't get your string caught in his teeth.

    Something to ponder.

    Have you used dbphoenix's teachings to become a successful trader?

    It's hard to give advice, and know for sure what will work for someone else. I can only refer to my own history. And that was that I felt a lot of fear when I had uncertainty of what to do in my system (in fact initially I didn't have a system fully worked out). Then later when I did, I still...

    Have you used dbphoenix's teachings to become a successful trader?

    There are many threads about you. Even so, you remain a hamster in the same wheel you were in a year ago when you couldn't distinguish between a range and a trend. I said at the time that unless and until you learned how to make that distinction, you would not progress. And you haven't. Just...

    If he could stay awake :) You may have noticed that I posted early that those who were going to participate should upload their charts with the ranges they were looking at by 0915 so that they could be discussed before the open, at which point I'd post my own if I had something substantially...

    Poll: Do you believe DBPhoenix's writings can make you a profitable trader?

    Actually this is all more about the P&R Forum than about my threads. What's ironic is that Ditch keeps drawing attention to me. :) If he'd just leave it alone, it would all die down. Educational Resources isn't exactly a happnin' place. (And we reached 4450 after all :D)

    Have you used dbphoenix's teachings to become a successful trader?

    Those of you who are interested in trading ranges should make a point of reading 40D's posts on his NQ trade today in his journal and Schaefer's posts on same in the TL thread. We may very likely wind up in the same sort of range tomorrow.

    Have you used dbphoenix's teachings to become a successful trader?

    Whatever makes you happy. I should point out again that the trading is going on at TL. So anyone who's interested in something other than reading arguments with trolls may want to segue over there.
