Achilles, honestly, I have never used VIX as a tool for the analysis of my performance, but when I see wide moves in both directions I also see more signals and because the ranges are wider I have more successful trades. CounterTrend and With Trend trades work more often. Do you imply that I...

When we see wide moves in both directions, it probably means it has been a period of higher than average levels of uncertainty. And, when the market is trending the volatility is lower because the participants feel more confident about the direction. I hear that volatility tends to cluster...

I suspect you lead me to focus on the ranges for the answer, right?

Is it a formal word that refers to the amount of uncertainty or risk about the size of changes in a security's value?

The most obvious common attribute is that both of them a zigzag. ... Vendetta is supposed to mean what? - Blood Feud. The eternal battle between Bulls and Bears, right?

Absolutely. I would say this is the only thing I really need to know.

Range bound: wide swings in both directions, it's easier to pick up a top/bottom of the swing. When the range is very narrow I sit and very often mis a tradable move that comes after the break out. Trending: Starts often with a gap and goes fast. One Legged pullbacks are common, but I cannot...

Scooby, I was wrong and selfish! I feel bad. I'm really sorry now, Scooby.

In the range bound market I perform better. When it has trending days with big moves in the morning I often have blank days or lose.

Greetings, Achilles. Nice to meet you. Thank you for your post - so encouraging! Man, I want it bad! I see the market now everywhere I go! In 2004 I was introduced to it and fell in love with it right on the spot. Only three years ago I settled on the idea of trading (coincidentally when...

Thank you for your response, Scooby. I'm vulnerable and bitter at this time, this is true. Am I always like this? Don't we all go through stages like this in our life, maybe even several times? This is not totally disturbed state of mind though but it allows me to focus more on what needs...

Thank you for reminding us that we are students - the begginer students aking very silly questions sometimes and behaving like little children trying to get what we want. Just as annoying is to see people like you randomly poping in, telling us how silly we are, offering very little help...

TO, sounds like a lullaby and I'll have to sleep on it. Thank you for the session. G'night.

TO, reading these lines I have just experienced Deja Vu. We definitely need to talk more about this with chart examples. What I'm suffering so far, it seems, is that the current context just like a particular word can also have a different meaning depending on a larger context but they are...

Talking into the computer screen helps me to subdue the mind chatter. Again, this is not speaking my thoughts out loud but trying to describe the action unfolding in front of my eyes.

High and Low? It always going there to test.

TO, I'm obviously blind now. Where to look? What helped me a bit is that I started to practice "active listening" of the price talk instead of thinking as it does its talking. I also started to talk back, to "verbalize" the action to get in sync.

Mind Distraction. You sit for hours watching but when the moment to act comes my mind is somewhere else. Two losing trades in a row and I'm definitely not there when it's time to act - I'm in a mental "knock down". Sometimes instead of anticipating certain things I slip unconsciously into...

Everybody must watch! On minute 9 you will understand why we fail. Listen the entire talk carefully to understand what kind of impossible task The Oracle is caring on his shoulders. Besides the fact that you must find your own way and certain things on how the markets really operate and...

You have done what everybody is doing and there is no other way of doing it. It's just you have reached the point where you got wiser and tired of pain and refuse to give up and crave for change. ... A man bought a loaf of bread and ate it, then another one and another one, then he bought a...
