@J_Smith: In response to YK's comment @J_Smith now my gut is telling me there is something else you wanted to tell me, if so, please share it. you said: But to ease your mind, I am not saying those who you are posting with are not genuine, in fact some of them seem very genuine. I will say...

Yukoner: @Redneck beautifully put it when he said: Ultimately - you'll possess the ability to decide how..., and to what degree - if any - you're affected Mindfulness should not be mistaken for "disengagement", a common mistake made by people introduced to mindfulness in the western world...

@Redneck: I saw your post just today -- was out of commission this weekend. Late Friday, the wife kindly suggested that I should consider marrying the computer. Given that it was our anniversary, it could only mean that the wife was alluding to something; except, I did'nt know exactly to what...

Great job Yukoner. Remember to practice/use the two tools in your daily life outside of trading. Also, this weekend, allocate about 30 minutes to do a visualization exercise using the data you collected in Step 3. As you read or listen to the collected data, visualize what was happening at that...

was trying to understand, thru' practice, what that scantily clad guy living in the forest was really talking about ;) So many wrong-turns, so much misinterpretation, but in the end .... at least Yukoner has access to fruits of experience from multiple sources. I would have died to be in his...

Yukoner: Good job following the plan. Baseline discipline is necessary for us to move forward. Continue with the existing plan for Friday (tomorrow). Incorporate what follows from Monday -- this is the step of incorporating awareness. So far, we have been using the words emotions and thoughts...

Yukoner: I have been under the weather the past few days -- hence my lack of participation in your thread. I see you did well to follow the plan on Monday. Keep up the good work. Do not analyze why Mo Ticks are positive while the combine is negative. Now is not the time to do it. Just keep...

I can only speak for myself. When I started out, I had no one to even talk to about TA. I was surrounded by bright people who believed in EMH. Imagine being a lonely TAer in midst of EMHers. I made a lot of mistakes -- paths I pursued thinking they were useful in my quest when they were not --...

Failed trades do help you learn more about your context. The better your understand of the context, the better your trade selection. Why would they? They have worked their butt off to get to where they are. Why should I spill my beans when I was the one who put in the long hours and put my...

What if a lot of "big" traders [your terminology] have their stops at a certain level. Will it hurt you to have a stop long with them at that same level? Or do they not trade with stops? Clearly I don't know what I am talking about. So, I will shut up. Best of luck with your trading. Regards...

KP: You seem to be concentrating on just one price (your so called important level). Although all traders see it, you can almost be certain that none of them would want to enter AT that price 'cos it is too risky. What everyone will most likely do is to follow their trading plan that they...

I know very little about the markets, and am always interested in learning about it. With that said, lets think about what you said above. If there is one big trader, it is only conceivable that there could be another bigger trader, right? So, what prevents this bigger trader to go against the...

Not to talk for @Redneck .... That is what we are working towards. Follow the plan and you will most likely get there. Have a good weekend. Regards, Monoid.

Yukoner: (1) Couple of days ago, you asked me what you were supposed to do with the recordings that you have made (capturing your thoughts) in Step 3. They are for visualization exercises. You are building a database so that you can use them when you are ready. I don't think you are ready for...

I am really liking what you had to say today, Yukoner. Discipline is paramount. I will follow-up with a post later today -- addressing a few questions you asked me earlier this week. Regards, Monoid.

Nice play on 'A swallow does not a summer make'. Love it! Regards, Monoid.

Handle123: I am sorry to hear about your health. Stay strong. Please do keep us updated on your health, if and when you get a chance. Take care. Regards, Monoid.

Do it the other way around. Select a TA methodology that makes sense to you (if you seek objectivity, use objectivity also as a selection criterion). I mentioned a few in my previous post, and I am sure there are many more. If you are like me, you might end up choosing multiple! Then use it to...

Who are you? You open your mouth and gems of wisdom falls out! I envy you! :) Has been a pleasure reading your posts (my favorite till date: your definition of discipline!) Regards, Monoid

You are focusing on the wrong item -- chart. No matter how much data you gather or how beautiful the chart looks, you are not going to become a profitable trader by following this path in by itself. A chart is just a tool to help you validate and then learn from your framework. So, a chart...
