I have a background in data analysis and database analysis/design, and most facets of software development. The analysis work includes experience interviewing subject matter experts, towards representing their knowledge objectively. I'm immersed in the kind of approach that both you and Brooks...

Distinctive here, and what may confuse some/many, is that while consistently taking trades w/ high Expectancy, you repeatedly vary the relative importance of the factors that go into the Expectancy calculation. eg, in the 2nd to last trade, very high probability for a small R win drives high...

New Metric: Trader_Efficiency (TE) = Expectancy/Unit_Of_Trader_Time AKA the "Get_A_Life" Metric The less time spent managing trades, the more energy a trader maintains as the day progresses. If opportunity presents later in the day, the trader may be more capable of managing a win...

Does anyone have a view re: Whales are what portion of mkt players & capital ? Related, what portion of players have the money, skill and interest to actively change or maintain the current market direction, by forcing closes above/below important levels, or by achieving breaks of significant...

What I sense more and more is that what makes the market appear erratic and thus hard to trade from the pov of a small trader is in great part due to the inherent weakness, the vulnerability that is inescapable for large players, for whales. A whale must expend a huge amount of time and energy...

Once again a trader blames Richard Feynman for his problems, geez :D I say Theoretical Analysis is a hobgoblins game ! Do you HEAR ME, world ?
