Knowing what you are doing will mean no stress whatsoever. Very relaxing to be in front of the screen. But is 'stress' just the contemporary western world rationale for endless forms of human weakness? :)

Depth Of Mud. Measures the amount of mud stuck to buyers and sellers. Enables everyone to do lots of skidding around in the mud. Bible for some, though. :)

Isn't it wonderful? A thread about 'trends' but what 'trends' are being alleged as valid by trend followers? Ones that go from a top to a bottom or vice versa? Well apparently trend followers don't pick tops and bottoms. So may be it can only be part of any such 'trend' .. somewhat after...

As with many threads, understandably, contributors can be talking about different meanings. What is a 'trend'? The best approach is to exploit the market you trade in on a whole day basis. So here you are only in fact dealing with what you see: the downmoves and upmoves of the day, namely...

Some good points are there but, yes, the alleged 47 Paul Tudor Jones points are overlapping and repetitive :)

Pal, you don't know how to grasp trading. It is curious that so many or most don't follow the straight line A to B .. shortest route to making money. They arrive at ET with an answer or a preference. As if the market will fit in with each and everyone's preconceptions. Now you want a...

Didn't you know? Sorry pal but hidden criticism as this one was is one of the classic hallmarks identifying YOU as a loser. :)

There is no madness only prices; that means willing buyers and sellers. Very rational. Bubble, same as any other time; it had buy and sell prices, upmoves and downmoves. Now how difficult is that? :)

No, losses are part of being a loser. :)

No thank you. The market is a rational place, explicable by rational understanding, open to logical analysis and a willing cornucopia but only to those who can master its field of play. Period. :)

I don't wonder about how other big hitters made their pile. I'm only interested in my agenda. In reality, how much money is being made and what position sizes/tactics are being deployed are not revealed by any very rich professional players. And not only that, they prefer privacy. I don't...

This book is a real oldie. It is excellent and should be read generally or particularly if your life is in the 'Slough of Despond' and you need self rescue. :)

Noobs 'f**k yourself up the butt' syndrome; this is well known clinically and you've made an excellent start in developing the condition. However the full blown condition involves actual losses leading on to a tremendous climax with ultimate wipe out. :)

No. Ultimately you have to rely on your own fully operational onboard computer located between and just above your shoulders. Next time you pass a mirror, check to see if its still there. :D

Concentrate your attention on price on the chart but do your detailed and extensive study of this market's price behavior beforehand. It is an excellent intraday market to play the gyrations profitably. As always, you do have to know what you are doing. :)

Thats one for your girlfriend to let you know. But seriously, the question, if relevant, is, are gaps filled that same day (preferably without the gap going further from the market Open)? If the assumption is that the gap is going to be filled the same day, you are unaware of the pitfuls...

Losing days, pal, mean that you should quit or go back to the drawing board. Best rule for the ill-prepared: don't trade. :)

Unfortunately for some amateurs computer backtesting is all they think they have to get a handle on the market. They believe in it regardless. The point is that basic OHLC data is skeletal and primitive as an input. But that is what is basically being relied on. Incidentally few or none...

How tricky is it, scriabinop23? If you go to the beginning, that is the place to start. What are almost all the threads at ET about? Answers & devices .. but to do what? Find the 'trend'? The trend for 5mins, 5hours, 5 days? Or a trend which keeps on going up or going down - how about that...

Stick with your BS job and end your BS fantasies of getting something for more or less nothing. :)
