On top of knowing if Big Money is present this was also a quote from the other thread that I found to be really important. "Chart reading skills are a prerequisite to making money, but, the secret is CORRECT chart reading skills, which, very few know about, and even fewer practice." There...

Just rereading the TE thread about TA and here is a question that I would doubt would be directly answered but I thought I would toss it out there. "So, the question now is HOW do The Generals operate in the market, for, we can clearly see what they are looking at, but, we must now be able to...

just as a heads up, something i have learned about trading. don't get frustrated and don't put a time stamp on when you will become profitable. i am not profitable yet in a consistent manner but when i first started i told myself i was going to make it as a trader in 1year, then 2 years, then...

I am pretty sure it just clicked with me, the title of the thread. Not in my trading, but literally the title of the thread.

Agreed

I'm the guy that looks for trend days and I think it was rocky that wants range days. Regardless to answer your question, my knowledge of vix is that over a certain number on it tends to be considered high volatility. I am not sure about it's actual intraday price structure. I don't know if just...

If you are talking about the reverse engineering the perfect trade conversation, I would look at the price, conditions and characteristics of VIX for one of those trades.

Is it a stretch to say you are working backwards in figuring your trading out? Start with what the ideal trade should look like and the see what leads to that trade? Example - if the beat trades in your plan are trend days that jump quickly out of the gates, then start from the top and work...

News from I have been able to tell triggers the larger trend days. I have been searching for specific price structure to see if there any common day that trends. I found the day after a channel break seems to make a good trending move.

Yes. Just like the title and first post in this entire thread. I have been trying to figure that context for some time now. As RN had shown, context is important but I think most (I know I do) struggle with the correct context in the market and exactly what that actually means.

So this will sound dumb but how do you start to rework or unlearn what you have learned and then change the way you think? I'll take a start at it. This is how we think now or are taught to think. We are given a topic in an educational setting, preached to and told to read books. Then...

So I will have to spend time thinking of that answer but is it better for us to pursue the way to think rather than the way to trade? What to look for? Once those two things are in place it then makes trading possible?

It is hard to erase my thought pattern as it is automatic. Breaking down what you said my base answer would be. I am trading which is an attempt to make money from other traders in a gambling arena. That is what I am trying to do. As it stands now what I am doing is allowing others traders to...

Narrow range

The boat ride Down the river or in market terms "large price movement"

You are NOT MOVING on land or wherever the boat ride is not .
