Bingo. That is totally correct. And as you have pointed out, it is the mental ceilings that started all the arguments. :) Thank you Alfonso. I just wanted to break up the argument and go down a different branch. Many thanks Natalie

Then hopefully this bit should be right up your street. :) Good trading tomorrow Natalie

The discussions of the early part clearly demonstated that there are as many mental barriers as there are mechanical ones. We saw those in operation all the time. It is not possible to consider whether it is actually a limitation of thinking, without exploring whether the limits are in...

Good idea. So something to trade YM with. Best Natalie

:) Aren't these both examples of how we make things very complicated when we don't need to? And Bruce's example. Pick a stock, wait for it to go down, when the MACD turns up wait for the price to go green and buy it... simple! best regards Natalie

Hi Bruce Many thanks for that contribution. I was not expecting people to post something they already trade, but rather to work on something different and so think outside the box so to speak. I think it is very good that you have posted a variation of what you do trade, and should not post...

Here is a simple idea to get htings started. Draw a line across the page at the open price i.e. 0930EST. If the price runs above this line buy it with a small target and equivalent stop, below do the same. Repeat the exercise by redrawing the line every 60 mins... (or 30 mins if you...

Moving this thread on, I want to propose a practical thing to do. Design a method between us. The first thing is, it has to be simple, not use too many indicators, Needs to take smallish targets, and needs to trade a few times a day but not excessively. Using all the combined skill...

Then perhaps if instead of trying to score cheap points you set about going back to adding something of value, and everyone else did the same too, then it would be worth continuing. best regards Natalie

Hi Damir, Perhaps you would care to go back about 6 or 7 posts, read it well, take it in, and then stop trying to score cheap points? Best regards Natalie

This thread is not about Throwing stones. Making claims Bickering Making cheap points Erroneous assumptions of compound wealth that far outstrip liquidity. 1 point per day (or any other number come to that) Who does and does not trade. Who is a better trader than who. Being forced to...

Oh never mind - I'm sure you can think of another useful business venture in due course... :) Best Natalie

Having gone inside out and been skewed at the same time. :) Best Natalie

Suppose there was a 10 or 15 min method which works totaly on picking up trends and takingalrge amounts from the trends, but made losses when the trends didn't run through. Suppose there was a paralel system on 1 min that 'slalomed' through the market added to that. The 1 min system never...

Suppose everyone identified all the trades that habitually lose but their system/method still takes, and instead of constantly trying to find somome method of filtering them out of their system, they developed a method/system that identifies those trades but in the opposite direction as valid...

Ok - That adds another question into the mix of this thread. There are numberous threads/posts from new traders who ask variations on a single question. "I am thinking of starting to trade ES (insert any instrument's you like here), and have $x available to do this. What kind of average...

Hi Alfonso, I think you have just touched very neatly on where I started from, and it does run into the question of what is actually mechanically possible (and that includes taking into account liquidity issues at the very highest ends such as large hedge funds - something which was touched...

As I from yours. :p LOL best Natalie :)

Hi everyone. Before anything gets out of hand and an argument brews up, can we please all agree on certain points and set them aside. the points are these. 1 Any profitable result over the long term is desirable and good. 2 1 point of ES on a daily return average over time adds up...

My oh my!!! - You guys have been busy today. I take a day out, and when I get back there are 10 whole pages of new posts to read. It seems that the question of psychology etc has prompted a lot of response... If it took me best part of 2 hours to read through, then it must have taken an awful...
