    Improving Trading Skills

    It's curious you bring nwbprop into your comment. It's doubtful you know him at all. No matter. Let's cut through the bullshit. If you find something that helps you make money, use it. If it doesn't help, move on. No one owes anyone anything. If someone helps you along your path to...

    Improving Trading Skills

    I've read Carroll, even voluntarily. Unfortunately, it didn't help me make a dime. If it did you, I'm happy for you. Rest assured, I shall not start any threads here flaming Carroll for being a charlatan. Seriously, there are quite a few people who have come forward to say reading Grob didn't...

    Improving Trading Skills

    I doubt the posts are meant to motivate anyone. My personal viewpoint is that either you have it already in you to really want to learn what he is offering or you don't. Grob repeats his 4 out 5 comment from time to time; after observing ET a few years I see his point. Having binders of stuff...

    Improving Trading Skills

    For "fractal", substitute "timeframe" or "degree" if you're familiar with EW. For "gaussian" substitute "gable roof" or "ant hill" if that helps. Seriously, you don't need to be an engineer to understand this, folks. Maybe if you think you're smarter than the average bear and therefore...

    Improving Trading Skills

    My post was for a very limited purpose as I've stated in a prior comment. Baiting people or making people feel inadequate serves no purpose for me. Moreover, I consider myself a learner and usually do not direct my comments at anyone for the purpose of teaching anything. What I occasionally do...

    Improving Trading Skills

    You make several requests of me in your post. There's probably not much I can say to oblige you, however. I posted to be helpful to a person who revealed fairly clearly where he is. I do realize it is a very limited kind of help; just pointing out to someone that he is screwing himself...

    Improving Trading Skills

    What you have is a head filled with trading myths and, to borrow from Grob, no knowledge, no skills, and a year's worth of bad experience. On top of that you are drawn to posts that reinforce what you do now. Look again at the last paragraph in your post. The things you have read over and...

    Using Pivots

    You are doing a fine job showing people how you do it, but it's too bad you take things as a personal attack. I merely posted a chart to show an alternative view of a "retail trader". I rarely post on ET as a rule, especially while the market is open. My chart was not intended to get your...

    Huge Losses

    The "abundance" I speak of is the market, of course...hardly a theory. It's understandable you didn't get; you were focused on a different part of the post. Take every nick and cut personally? Kind of difficult to click your mouse with a permanently clenched fist. Your experience must really...

    Huge Losses

    So if you close a trade with a loss do you imagine someone taking your lunch money? lol My take on what I do is that it is neither competitive nor personal. Nothing I do or don't do can affect the flow of immense abundance that is available. Everyone has complete freedom to align himself with...

    What is the "market"?

    I appreciate the sincerity in your post. What I can comment on is that everything you state is conventional, and from my experience not quite true with regard to your statements, to point out as an example, about "newbies/dumb money" and "professionals". No matter; what is true or untrue is...

    What is the "market"?

    The market is simply a conduit for building wealth. This is a viewpoint that cannot be arrived at from your current orientation which is not geared toward enhancing yourself financially. People participate in the market and do a lot of goofy things besides make money. At least in your case you...

    What do prop shops offices look like?

    Before the tech bubble popped I traded at a retail office that was literally standing room only with all the visitors and wannabe traders. There were some real characters there. The office had a few mouse throwers, but there was this one guy in his early twenties who cussed constantly when he...

    the basic assumption of TA

    Funny thread. The initial inquiry is not too helpful as an orientation to making money but rather is an opportunity to expound on myths. The last post is a doozy on hyperbole that's for sure. A while ago someone posted a reference to a list of bullshit items that need to be tossed off the...

    IQ and trading

    Well, I guess the cat's pretty much been let out of the bag here so why not. WARNING: DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT THE SOLUTION REQUESTED The safe is in the wall after the movie plays...someone already mentioned the dancing guy pointing to a place on the...

    IQ and trading

    You don't need the tape. You can get out with just the CD case or the URL note. Right click and play, and after the movie plays (you don't have to wait for the end, actually), right click on the wall and play, which brings you to the door knob and then right click and play again. The game...

    Do Trendlines work?

    I always know where I operate. 81 bars comprise the day's terrain for me. Usually I trek only a portion of the trails available. There are always more trails than I can do it seems. Where I operate is merely a part of a larger design of things. There are smaller parts too, of course. The...
