Interesting, well I think some indicators do a lot better if you understand better how accumulation and distribution works, not every indicator is bests used by simply immediately entering a position just because it gave a buy or sell signal or had a cross. Not only is it important where...

Well I am sure that happens, sometimes news cause a temporary imbalance in price, a run in an unexpected direction or an extension of the move. But those are just deviations, which are to be expected and that's what your stop loss is to protect against. Also, if what you're doing is...

Oh, looks like I got confused. I didn't realize he was speaking of Candle Patterns. I thought he was speaking of market patterns in a different nature.

Yes, I agree, at least I imagine it's not overly complicated for someone who knows about coding and software to make the program, but that isn't the hard part, the hard part is you have to be able to effectively parse the data from the chaos of what appears to be random to others and "chop" and...

This is no special advice, I think its what most people here would tell you. Make sure you do a lot of research and are prepared prior to putting any money on the line. Also, investing is not the same as trading. If you're looking for patterns that's likely more akin to trading, which is...

Not sure if this was really a question like wondering when it will actually top or just more of a social thread for conversation about it, but felt like commenting on this. Also to be clear, I am not knocking it out of the park myself yet, so not criticizing any strategy or this post...

Hmmm, while I still enjoy day trading and still prefer it on ES over swing trading, other things like CL I've been seeing the advantages of swing trading with how I trade. So, must admit I now better understand some of the benefits of it. I never thought it was bad or inferior but now...

That's pretty interesting don't have any first hand knowledge of this, or never really thought about it, but makes a lot of sense.

This is a question you have to answer for yourself. If you're just asking if its possible or do people do it, yes they absolutely do. But they are in the top end of traders. You basically need to already have a proven system or set up, that is repeatable. So you need to know how...

appreciate the warning, not a big deal, take the good with the bad lol.

Don't have TOS and isn't that more geared to them selling their services and etc? I am currently trying out trading with few people now, just to see if it helps with boredom and taking rogue trades, so I'll see how it goes, but I'll look further into that and appreciate the suggestion.

well before we can define edge, logic dictates we must understand what defines define?

It's fine if you don't believe it, I have nothing to gain from lying to you, nor do I take issues with you not believing me. But I've personally traded with someone for 6+ hours a day for months before and seen it first hand. None of them have any accounts on any trading forum that I am...

Yeah, I mean there's multiple ways to do it. I don't think any style of trading is necessarily correct or wrong. It all depends on your goals, capital, time you can spend and how you're trading. Everyone I know personally that's successful is a retail day trader, so I have exact opposite...

yeah not sure whats going on here. isn't an edge, anything, however small that gives you an advantage? thats always been my understanding of the definition from where I live.

lol. Thanks, don't know what to say other than sorry if my communication skills are really this poor. Appreciate the convo though.

If you're speaking about today, that's just my impatience and poor execution lol. That's my fault though. That little bump above expected price, made me lose focus on bigger picture. I didn't tune out the noise and we ended up going lower and I had no shorts on, so only caught the long.

Just to be clear if you're trying to win some debate here,if that's truly your intention let me know and I will concede right now, otherwise if you're being sincere I appreciate the conversation and here's my response. You were speaking of weeding out the people that wouldn't be beneficial...

That's fair enough, luckily for me I don't really need any additional information from a technical standpoint and hearing others opinions does not make me question my own trades. So, I really have little to lose and trading with others helps me be more patient and not take as many rogue trades...
