    Warren Buffett Says America Is "So Rich" It Can Afford Single Payer

    Outlawing insurance companies would drive the costs down on any area. Insurance companies give birth to greed which knows no limits. Scuttle them. Prices will drop amazingly low. Docs will compete to give you their best service at their best rates if you are paying as they know you will just run...

    How does a trend start? How is a trend born?

    I am sure the question will arise as to when do you know when a BO will be successful or fail since 70% to 80% of attempted BO's from a range usually fail and price goes right back up into the range? Well, generally, you can look at the first PB or two after a BO on good volume and if price IN...

    How does a trend start? How is a trend born?

    Here is ES yesterday. I keep things fairly simple and uncluttered. First we see a Breakout from the sideways PA at the top after several failed BO attempts. The one that succeeded did so on good volume. I slap on a 89 SMA (gray line) on the 5 minute chart and a 20 EMA (blue line) on it. As long...

    :rolleyes:You trade ranges WHEN the market is ranging. You trade trends when it is trending. It ranges more than it trends.

    80% of the time

    Ranges, if wide enough, offer both long and shorting opportunities so a trader can make $ both ways. In addition, b.o. from ranges fail 70% to 80% of the time so that is good odds for fading b.o.'s in ranges. And if they are wide enough RR can be decent. And since markets range more than the...

    80% of the time

    And it is ALWAYS ranging in some TF. However, if you pick one or two TF close to each other in time then 65% to 70% of the time it will be in a range, of some sort, in that particular TF. There are exceptions. Such as relentless periods of trend. Intraday you can have days where the trend is...

    Mental Case

    These are mental errors compounded by emotions. Your mind is tripping you up. The answer is detachment from your trades providing you have a proven system in place. So, if you in fact have a viable system, with an edge, then detachment should do the trick.

    Can this really happen

    On ES just watch it as it can have alot of "mean reversion", pun intended. On a normal wide sideways range day or wide channel if it gives you 2 points i'd grab it and enter again if trend continues. That is, if one doesn't grab the two points on many days he will just see those 2 point...

    WEDGE based Pattern recognition ??

    Probally best to just use your eyes and work off of principles. For instance, a wedge top is basically 3 pushes up. A wedge bottom three pushes down. It doesn't necessarily have to be a wedge shape "par excellence." A triangle is basically a sideways move with 3 pushes up or down. It may not...

    WEDGE based Pattern recognition ??

    Difficult to do because a wedge may not necessarily have a wedge shape. Same with a triangle.

    Reading guide for trading

    I understand your point of view. There is so much about trading to learn. Most books are not comprehensive but focus on a few aspects of trading that pertain to the story/strategies/tactics they are spinning. There are a few who deal with trading from a comprehensive take on the matter...

    Don't know about the paleo diet. The diet that works at least for me is called ALWAYS HUNGRY. It cost abit to get started with the spices..etc and making the sauces to cook with but that is what kills the hunger pains. It is the only diet i have ever done where I don't go around feeling hungry...
