Zorro Think about 3 things: - Confidence - Risk Reward - Win rate There's a reflexive relationship between the 1st and latter 2 It may be cliched, but that's reality i don't know how u trade, whether it's intraday futures or stocks on a longer time frame, but one thing is...

been playing for 12 years, grew up on Satch, Vai, Eric Johnson, also like Metheny, Benson, Pass other jazz greats, love music, window to the soul, thk that there's a bunch of interesting analogies between trading and the diatonic scale, j/k, let me know what you're interested in doing exactly...

He's one of the best teachers out there, I've learned tremendously from him. Highly recommend his books, get them and reread them. His 2B pattern is worth a lot, but more importantly his approach to market life expectancy profiles is invaluable. Maverick

buy low, when low is low enough, when you can actually trade others' fear, use a tight stop, let your reward go at least 3x your risk, scale out higher up the money tree. Forget about the outcome of any one trade. It's meaningless. Judge your performance over a minimum of 10 trades. Only...

We had a good time chatting last night. Was great to get to know some of you. Thanks again to P2 for taking the time to organize the meet. Looking forward to staying in touch, Maverick.

I saw a bunch of posts with conflicting dates. To finalize things, is it tonite Monday 11th, grand soho at 8pm or not? marketsurfer will you be there? thx maverick

Guys, Would be nice to meet you, see you after 8 on Monday. Maverick1. P.s: back on ET after a long absence

Wow. I love how these debates can really flare up. There's always a fresh round of bashing/defending/arguing ad infinitum when it comes to the value of TA. I was really positively surprised by the CTFC statement, in the sense that I hope that as many people buy into, soak in and adopt market...

The might broken clock strikes again! lol.

Have you found the majority of Demark's setups to be useful? Was just curious. I like the reasoning behind Sequential and Combo and his 'camouflage' pattern but the other setups such as relative retracement and trend lines etc seem less original and less useful. It's interesting that some of...

We'll probably never know the answer. But why would we care, like you said, if one can pull money out consistently whatever the method, is there any else that should matter? Keep up the good posts, Mav.

:eek:

Nihaba, I agree with the general thrust of your argument. However, I also think that you may have overlooked something. Of course, in the distribution of traders out there, some will use price action only, others indicators, others a combination of both and so on and so forth and you will...

Amen to that Mav.

Calling what we are in know a trading range presupposes that you are taking a position on direction. By definition, a trading range is a directionless. You are operating on a different set of assumptions and definitions of trend. Trends are fractal in nature. They happen on a 5 min chart...

Dbphoenix, I believe that although your rebuke carries general truth, it also lacks in precision. But I am not going to criticize you for that because when I posted I too did not bother to be dogmatic about trend. At any given point in time, there are multiple trends at work. I use...

looks like Foreman took it on the forehead today, :cool: Mav.

The game is on. Will it be a mere pullback or the start of a change of trend?... I love how the reversal day comes at a precise gann number in time. Maverick.

Shorty, Thanks for the offer. I'll pm you in a sec with the info. Mav.

Mike, Yeah I agree completely. Listen, we were there on that EBAY thread, and I posted when it was basing in a tight range. I was alarmed by the number of top pickers on the thread and simply said listen, wait for the market to tip its hand. It blasted through resistance shortly after to...
