Welcome to PATA, RN! RN taught me everything I know about what RN taught me!

The op asked for proof TA doesn't work and we got these beautiful charts (posted by TA naysayers) demonstrating how nicely TA works. Back when I had my charts on a separate PC I lost connection a few times and had to trade without the charts. I just watched the price movement on the DOM and...

Here's the article: http://online.wsj.com/article/0,,SB112190164023291519,00.html There's a nice encapsulation of core issue with humans trading: The researchers believe fear had a lot to do with the poor performance of nonbrain-damaged participants. "If you just observe these people...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Bright traders are individual traders who learn strategies that take advantage of what the "pros" are doing, by which I mean institutional traders/investors (mutual funds, hedge funds, investment banks, etc). I doubt there are a lot of ET members posting here who...

I've spoken with a couple dozen struggling traders and not one of them had done their homework.

Some children learn to read in a matter of weeks at a very early age. The ability to notice repeating patterns, commit them to memory and recognize them instantly when seen again is an innate ability in some people and shows up at a very early age (2 or 3 years). Others develop the same...

Big institutional players and self-fulfilling prophecies. Why would institutional traders and professional money managers tell the world how they trade? They don't give that away with words. Like all large animals, they do, however, leave footprints quite visible to the naked eye...

Gawd, I'm such a sucker for TA threads, especially if Xspurt or cornixforex are involved. I'm really gonna try not to make 7000 more posts here... :D :D :D Friday, chop? Where? Certainly not for anyone day trading the ES. The action on a 5-min chart leading into the open was as clearly...

This is the funniest thing I've ever seen posted on a trading site. :p Please share with us how "special situations" that "will have strong odds of success and huge positive expectancy" are different from repeatable, exploitable patterns?

Scientific answer: Low of the post-NFP pullback = 87.97 Swing high at the time of V's entry = 90.09 90.09 - 87.97 = 2.12 Swing low at the time of V's entry = 89.60 Measured Move (MM) calculation: 89.60 + 2.12 = 91.72 New high put in @ 91.74 Final flag resistance that should...

I second that! XXXOOO :cool:

Yes.

+1000 I still hear the echoes of RN telling me to "nut up". :p :p :p

Shouldn't this advice be in the "Trading" forum? :p :p Happy that all went well for you!

TRO, I have a printout of that rat study in front of me daily as a reminder to "stay the course" at all times. My swollen brain has always had a chronic tendency to search for a Holier Grail, to attempt to eliminate uncertainty in a field where the only thing 100% certain is uncertainty :p...

And I sent you a PM a month ago. Trading requires attention to detail from plan development to execution. Maybe that's what's missing. Offer stills stands. All the best :)

Adam, The reason you don't see the light at the end of the tunnel anymore is because once you learn to trade successfully, you're beyond the end of the tunnel and you're standing in the light. Enjoy it! :cool:

WTF did Stoney give you guys to smoke :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Yes, it is. Trade it fearlessly. Yes, you have, and it's a rare thing among aspiring traders. Keep calm and carry on :cool:
