Well there are trends, up and down, sure, but I don't follow trends. And of course they are better identified in hindsight. Trend is a diversion but it does a very valuable job in being the fixation of other traders and apparently the rest of the world. Now patterns, here I disagree. The...

The short answer is that you clearly do not know enough about the market you trade in and you are unwilling to devote the time, study and research to find out more, as shown by jacking around on the internet during trading hours.

Well I am using TA; its just that my trading model is not based on charts. To answer your question, you are looking at figures, a price axis and a time axis, on a flat surface, when you look at a chart. This is a severe constriction of perception. Figures, instead, can be put in tables. :)

From zmostatabi (quoted in Italics) Dealing With Losses OK, lets turn this stuff on its head. Most traders typically like to talk about their winners while avoiding any recollection of their losers. No, not really. On ET you get splurges of admissions about 'how much I lost'. Its like...

Ah, the need to believe. If it wasn't or isn't Gann it would be something else .. Nostradamus and his 6 uneven steps to making a fortune in trading. But its all good. The 95% majority should visit every cul de sac and treat every distraction with unrelenting energy. All this confusion and...

Bear market ahead and 14 more years of range trading? More bear scaremongering and 14 more years ahead of similar horsesh*t. Just play the day and make hay. :)

Fom Kicking (quoted in Italics). Yes trading is becoming ever more difficult it seems without taking bigger risks. Too much competition, it's like any other business. No, its fine. Daytraders slowly dying ? Not for winners. Just become King of the Heap. Losers and those that lose their way...

I will speak up .. but only because I don't use charts or a chart for trading analysis. I use a predictive model which uses figures in tables. Of course I look at a live chart as a visual aid to watch the moving price. I can also understand price configurations on a chart .. but bottom line...

Or are some past winnings keeping you from realizing you are a loser? :)

Is there a need for a reminder as to what TA is? Technical Analysis is analysis of price behavior by itself. That may or may not include the use of indicators. Fundamental Analysis is, as I am sure everyone knows, looking at the facts and status of a quoted company's activities to see...

Bottom line is, they have not stopped being horsesh*t commies.

Volatility has been good this year .. index futures and certainly the DOW. It was Summer last year which had a patch with a lot of small range days. But, hell, every day is good. The money is in the gyrations. :)

Are you having trouble finding the balance between your trading and the rest of your life? No. Life is either giving you contentment or it is not. :)

Yeah, I got it. One small step for mankind. And counting. :)

"How do YOU feel?" I'm all Russian hands and Roman fingers. :)

This thread tells you why trading is a job for almost all independent traders who can stay profitable. You can say you like it or love it but its a job. What the market is, is this. Its the opportunity and means .. both together.. to make a fortune. :)

Don't. No need. The money is the intra-day gyrations. :)

Does anyone think this Market is Manipulated Up? My answer is, No. There might be those who think that the market is being manipulated up. This is an alternative to understanding and mastering the market. :)

Well I don't know if that is right. jimrockford Jim, If you are on the side of the righteous, you should keep on saying what you keep on saying. :)

Have you got any more of that bland horesh*t? :)
