Money and how they live their lives are touchy subjects for most people. For trading, it just can't be.

Sometimes? I wonder about this every day. Of course, consciousness is impossible, so never happened..

50% of software engineering work of some magnitude is coming up with the best-fit scope, requirements and designs. For trading and when you've got no idea, it's probably closer to 95% of the work.. That last part means only 5% of the time knowledge of programmatic syntax will be the deciding...

This Holy Grail, has it something to do with historical price action at various price levels?

Some bad use of logic and justifications in the link: 1. The whole is made up by its parts, society is made up of its individuals. So if society is altruistic, self-healing and positively evolving, it is because of good qualities in individuals overpowering bad qualities in the system...

Anticipate higher volatility in the future then. SPX seems to be slowly creeping up. Might need a quick retest down to 2100 - 2120.

Good methods dont make themselves or get handed over. Pearls are not useful to swine, as they will get crushed and get trampled on. Good method and business of trading start with the mindset, not necessarily psychology (overused and misused term in trading). Not sure what the purpose of this...

We all share what we want in the way that we feel like - good intentions. Trying to do it differently, somehow better according to another's specifications, not always the best idea. Go beyond right or wrong, trying to mend the world or even aid some struggling "poor traders" :sneaky: We do what...

You give people a chance, but you don't give them hundred chances. Sorry, can't help myself :rolleyes:

A life without sharing, is a wasted life.

I'm sure you've thought about this, but here it goes anyways: Do you really think making your own money printer is going to be easy? Something anybody can just copy and then we all make lots of new money, resources, lifestock, land, wildlife and pristine nature? Really? Because, in the end...

There's always another party.

Wisdom. Experience. The stuff which books can't really teach. You have greed? Fine, but now you have something to lose. End game: Either you lose all your stuff, or you lose all your greed.

Good guess, but no truth in price either but better than most indicators though in a way snake swallowing its tail.

Greed is bad, but better than pure Socialism. Ironically greed also ends up in pure Socialism. So it's ourselves we fix must.

Hint: They didn't come up with those ideas by themselves. Groupthink is powerful, and most of us has been under its spell one time or another. However, if most people were to start managing their accounts, they would probably lose more than simple buy & hold! The majority just cannot win above...

Just look at latest close if you want to "remove lag". Indicators are just formulas, not magic. They work as intended because they have lag. It's what you do with them that counts, and then it's helpful to understand what they really show.

What's the problem? Big Mike's an excellent source of trading ideas / info. Since grown beyond those discussions/indicators, but doesn't mean it's not a good service for many. If you can't back it up, better withdraw such comments. If there's some substance, then there'll be something to...

Many issues here. 1. If you go long at a price, you need to sell that long before going short, if you did buy the long. 2. You'll only make a trade/deal when another market participant agrees to your price during the limited period you make the offer. Your trigger-price only says at what price...

Yes, doing overlapping trades like that do indeed make more than the move. There are opportunity risks in doing so though, but if you are "certain" I guess such trades might make sense :cool:
