That's a good question. Generally I am very skeptical. For example, I can tell you that there's a fair few people on this site (without naming names) who give the impression of perfect price action entries day-in, day-out, complete with perfect hindsight analysis, who I don't believe for a...

Everyone thinks that they think outside the box, and everyone thinks that they have an 'edge'. We, as retail traders, aren't privy to the information required to obtain a genuine 'edge'/advantage over everyone else

I've got that, and so do lots of other people in the 95% of losing traders. Like the poster whose mind i'm trying to get inside mentioned, if 95% lose and them traders are trading from charts, doesn't it make sense to use a better method? (paraphrased) And, certainly not to sound cruel...

Smurf = marketsurfer? I'm not interested in what he looks at to trade. I've been a non-registered member on various trading forums for a decade. I'm not overly impressed with his results. I'm just after ideas as to what the posts/snippets in my Opening post could possibly be referring...
