"...We act it as life, before we aprehend it as truth" ~Emerson~

Her moves are in complete and utter harmony being that she serves as nothing more than a mirror reflection of our collective actions and non-actions. The discord is only a matter of a traders subjective perception... BTW; I am going to kick your ass next weekend, Publias has a big trade...

Hmmmmm, are you sure it is the market itself that is chaotic or is it our perception of it that creates an illusion of chaos? The map is not the territory... Chaotic, random, whatever the f$ck. One thing I know for sure through direct experience is that while the market may be random...

Jem thankyou for the reply :) You raise some good points and like I said before -- if the shit makes more cents in the bigger picture then obviously it makes sense, but I suspect many do it for the opposite reason. It makes sense to them in some sort of rational way, but does not make more...

Canslim from 93-98! Sure was a fine market for it :D

bout time jeeeez! :p

Well I guess we are even because I don't know how any trader can even make the above statement :confused: Since when is this a game of being "sure" about anything on a micro-level (trade to trade)? You have to do what is best on the macro-frame. If it is in the traders best interest to scale...

I'll help you out Big Al :p A WR7 means the range of the bar was the widest of the prior 7 and a NR7 means it was the narrowest of the prior 7. Contraction and expansion bars can tell a great deal about the future activity of the market and depending on where the bars are formed it can...

And these guys are telling you to scale out of winners??? If anything one should be adding at 1R and not decreasing their positions... hey but whatever floats your boat or finds your lost remote Mike! PEACE and good trading, Commisso

Mike, First off you are making a wrongful assumption that a higher win% / lower R-gain decreases the magnitude of draw-downs, wich in my experience is simply not true. It would seem that way because you are putting a considerable number of more upticks on the curve, but you are failing to see...

TrendFader, Perhaps in a game where 90% of players lose -- it may be a viable strategy to do what DOES NOT come "easy" psychologically to the majority. Are you somehow under the impression that our condition is in accord with her nature or the nature of successful trading? In most cases...

this place is TIRED made my last post Monday and was just on here to contact someone off my buddy list... please feel free to keep intouch over the email buddy... PEACE and good trading my friend, Commisso

Thankyou Saratosa; for I was a little confused...

Probably cause the truth will often sting...

the most common fib retracement ratios are 23, 38.2, 61.8 and 78.6 but I am no expert with them def...
