    Reasonable yearly profit threshold and expectations

    Switch from shaving to trimming. It is buzzy but you just put on a 4 or 5 8th gizmo and oil the buzzer every 6 months. Oh, scissors for the mustache unless you like strained food.

    Reasonable yearly profit threshold and expectations

    for the 200K level, as a beginner it takes 3 to 4 months to get the that level annualized. But you go past it quite rapidly. Oh and the initial capital required for stock trading is 27K (An example that just happened with a friend who starte out as a new years idea. None of the above...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    I was asking a simple technical question. smart big money does one thing that stops trends. It is visually displayed as a leading indicator of price. All these people who have large margin accounts make the same mistake all day long. Put yourself in their smug and arrogant places...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    This is a good description of iterative refinement. Also I basically trade from the 5 minute timeframe display. But I do use other displays such as the DOM, T&S and OTR. My Str/Squ is based on the OTR. Basically MADA is a routine that is done as required on the 5 minute time frame...

    Reasonable yearly profit threshold and expectations

    Toolazy: I guess it ll comes down to the symptoms potential traders have. In CW type trading, there are so many unknowns. Humans have a sophisticated survival system. It really works quite well. When you go to big money firms you see this survival system at play. Mostly it centers...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    In my prior post the chart was a little squished. stretch it vertically so the stuff is easier to see. Here was the final exam. Tell me when the boxes stopped appearing on the turns (turns which were not taken to make money). Sometimes making money is too troublesome. so I sit on the...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Not quite. I know BEFORE the time you are speaking of. Just before the Present there is a time slightly to the right on the charts of the Present. That is where I finalize, what in a brief while, will be happening in the Present. The market zigs and zags. My view of these is that...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    So I don't do the CW or the CW language. When I began in 1957, no one was technical or scientific. Step up and put me on ignore. See if you have more discipline than my detractors. This thread is a chit chat thread but that hasn't been figured out yet. I did not participate here...

    My numbers are: 1. within three years of starting with 300 dollars my weekly commissions were more than my salary as an "engineer/writer" at IBM which had at that time 80% of the world market. 2. I stayed two more years. I did not experience stress while trading. I kept sweeping my...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    There is a long list of things you do not know. And there is that other list of what you do not know that you do not know about yourself. You are confused and you do not know what is necessary. Lets say you did do a 180 that you recognize some of. The OP has not proposed anything...

    The lower right is a Nota Bene (NB) Two cases are noted. If you have a UL on the row in the log, you consider stitches and translations. 1. Lock-in the stitch immediately when it is reached. 2. If a translation goes to a stitch lock it in immediately. Around pages 58 through 65 of...
