His action scenes of phoning in the orders were particularly enthralling.

Riveting.

Great journal.

Plot twist: For those of you who trade for the challenge / game / etc - has this hampered your ability to grow as a trader? I went through this struggle very much... in two forms. #1 - the need to be right per my model was more than my desire to win $, and #2 - my desire to complete my model...

yes, absolutely. It's the same issue that has been missing from the TA Crusades - context. Definition. Define your variables first and then let's pick them apart scientifically to see if the rules proposed by you (generally, not directed at anyone) provide a greater than 50% probability...

well, surely we can agree TA is a vast field. Oscillators, stochastics, all of those indicators... god, who could be bothered with tracking it all. I can only speak for my own work, but it has been documented by a few. I know that if I handed it to anyone, it could be used to make money in...

See, that's the disconnect. TA is so broad. I don't even know if my stuff would qualify as TA... but I know that it wins in the long run and that's why I trade. (hooray for relevant response to the OP!)

no Surf, no wars here. But if you say statistics are statistics, then would not their results be the same if documented by a few vs documented by thousands?

Are the naysayers of TA suggesting that if one has variables / indicators created by him/herself that have passed statistical measures run by him/herself and not made available to others - which provide a mathematical edge in the long term - that these are charlatans and mindless sheep? Surely...

Philosophical how? The point was for anyone interested to post their context and rationale behind their POV. eurusdzn missed the point. :)

lol

derived from the thread 'what causes spikes?' by k p; I'd like to invite any & all here to take a different approach and answer the question in the subject line. Very often as a new / struggling trader, I continued to wonder why things happened the way that they did in the market. Why did X...

fourtiwinks, not to speak for monoid but I gave at least three points out. How you establish those are up to you, but they are in my writings.

ugh, he just keeps getting better and better. ^

Well, I'm not in the business of giving away years of my or others' work, lol. I can't answer your questions; I'm simply posing them for you to ask yourself. Think about what you have at this moment right now to ID current market conditions. Do you even have that? I don't think you do. Can...

dude you really just have to stop with the analogies and phrases and get to work. lol I mean no disrespect but thorns and green leaves and the chicken and the egg and and and ..... rubbish. WORK. You want it - go get it!

Right. So think - what else can I use? What geometry exists that I can coordinate? What is static, and always present, and how can I coordinate these areas to profit from?

Now rethink how wide your gaps are between the periods you just listed. You're using a multiple of what, 24? 60? (1m x 60 = hourly; 60 x 24 = daily)? Is that logical? Does this give you precision? These are the things you need to be asking yourself. If the answer is yes, then OK. If...

I would do my own work, re time periods. Termination points - same answer. Think of it like this: Take your higher period - what are you surmising that will occur there for that price bar? ok, now - focus period - where are you in the HTP context? ok, and now - lower period - where are you...
