    There is no "system"

    When I train people I ask them to take out a sheet of paper. do this. then use a Crayola to mark the paper. Draw down in red from the middle of the top half to the middle of the bottom half. discard the red Crayola. grasp a black crayola firmly. to the right of the red vertical dominant...

    There is no "system"

    What drives price is the independent variable and it is named volume. The elements of volume are seven items. These items follow an Order Of Events. As a consequence, trends have an assortment of End Effects. All are defined uniquely. An EE is a signal to end a trend (there are four types...

    There is no "system"

    The US government has many department with various missions. I get into rather serious differences of views with some of them. Almost all encounters come from their reviewing records of my activities. A few come from requests I make for permission to operate under their jursidiction. Above I...

    There is no "system"

    The statement above is what you believe. As is well known anyone can believe anything they wish. The complete system of the market's operation is certain; it has no flaws, no noise nor any anomalies. In my case, I have proven and published this as a matter of record. The consequence of this...

    There is no "system"

    Predicting is not a necessary part of trading. Those who think it is are just mentally deprived for their reasons. A zig zag chart just shows groups of bars with the same dominant leg 2's: black , red, black, red, ad nauseum. This is just a collection of profit segments that takes the full...

    There is no "system"

    Those who use bars-by bar analysis and decision making, observe the parts of bars. Abar may have three distinct parts. the second part is the dominant part of the bar. Both the first and third parts are non dominant. I call these parts legs and I number them in the order of their appearance...

    Where to set stop loss and Target Price

    I agree on this portion of the answer. The other half occurs when there is no invalidation........ BUT, then the market gives a new signal instead. On the trades I posted for Friday, I saw 13 invalidations (early exits to max profits) out of 22 actions for profit segments on Friday. There...

    There is no "system"

    One way to cure your plight would be to spend a few days in vegas. There are many small trading rooms there where guys do let observers visit. Same is true of most other cities. vegas guys are more colorful. You may want to ask yourself how you got so estranged from meeting traders.

    There is no "system"

    Attached is the set of trades from last Friday (21AUG14) I use volume signals to substitute for the zig-zag. The EE column names the volume signal. Actions show in right column. , HT for hold through. S for sideline, and EAR for early. Also note the three tick rule as e-x-bar #. I also use...

    There is no "system"

    To create a zig-zag chart, just connect extreme bar values (low to high, then high to low) on a 5 min TF. The simple visual assessment of sentiment is done by using leg 2 of a given fractal.

    doubling every 1 to 3 days is good enough in at least 85 liquid markets around the globe.

    There is no "system"

    We have different beliefs, experiences and inference. I was lucky to be a scientist by training and an inveterate problem solver by opportunity. I see market variables as granular. Thus the mathematics of the market is finite mathematics. there are few pieces in the set of elements in the...

    Advice on regaining trading confidence

    I have to agree with you. Over the last few months, my physiological state has eroded. I doubled down on my hydro morphine, then I added a half dose two hours into the six hour span of a dose. I have a degenerative OA and only surgeries will fix stuff. As a bridge to the beginning of the...

    There is no "system"

    I'm sorry to hear about how challenged you say you are. "Most of the time" is kinda corny. Anyways good luck I was just suggesting to you a simple method of making money by using a small amount of money. What I said was that a person uses some money to make money. He doubles his capital every...

    There is no "system"

    By using the Scientific Method (google this) it has been proven (google this) that the "System of Operation of a Market" (google systems and the three components of any system: structure, process, and results) has no noise, no anomalies, nor any flaws when the system is completely delineated...

    There is no "system"

    You just added "prediction" to the content of what you had read. A zig - zag chart shows market sentiment changes. Add two slower fractals like 5 minute and 30 minute. Use a simple system of three arrows (30, 5, and zigs) and you see 8 combos that dictate the timely actions. 4 for short and...

    What degree/master/phd would be the best for a trader?

    You are asking for three sets of books. Group A deals with information Group B deals with how your mind works. Group C deals with the programming. Since I am writing books on this I will post three attachments After I go to a computer now in repair (monsoon electrical failure took...

    Science versus the gut

    All of this post is 100% true. Until Siuya posted, all the posters were making this mistake (and probably will not take Siuya's direction). By using the maths term "degrees of freedom" the solution to the system of the market's operation (STEM based) involves three stages of dealing with...

    Science versus the gut

    Between siuya and game, they have uncovered how the two VS'ed suggested by the OP do relate and allow an unconscious or sub conscious interaction. It is very cool that sinya takes the initiative to instruct the rest of the CW type posters here that they are focussed on the opposite of what...
