    5 Things I have learned in 5 years of trading!

    One problem with trading is the belief, "it's all random". Well, most of it is random... but not all of it.

    This could be a thesis topic.

    Of course there are... it's human nature. Doesn't mean they are right.

    5 Things I have learned in 5 years of trading!

    It's not a matter of "insisting one thing is right for everyone"... it's a matter of "one thing is right PERIOD".. regardless of whether you believe or accept it. When you think "something other is right", you're wrong... hopefully you'll figure it out in time to do you some good. I can claim...

    5 Things I have learned in 5 years of trading!

    I was schooled in science. In Chemistry... there is ZERO opinion. It works as "understood", 100% of the time... can't do otherwise because of chemical and physical properties. If you understand the "underlying", you can figure out the outcome every time. I take that same approach to the...

    5 Things I have learned in 5 years of trading!

    So.. it's "fun" when I agree with you, but "unfriendly" when I don't? As for the body of a candle... Price TA does not acknowledge it as significant, as the open and close are of no consequence. I used to run a mutual fund timing service where clients paid me to make trades for them. Won...

    5 Things I have learned in 5 years of trading!

    1. I've never heard of ICT. 2. TLs ARE wick-to-wick. "Body" means nothing. 3. How do you "keep my head down with it"... and still post what you presume to know on ET? You appear to know some, I'll give you that.. but not as much as you think you do. (You know that too... otherwise you...

    5 Things I have learned in 5 years of trading!

    The reason I'm "getting on your case" a little bit is because you post onto the board that what you've learned in 5 years is worthy of consideration for all of us. In my view, you're "out of your lane". If I were still a money manager and you presented your resume hoping to get a job with...

    I never said, "traditional TA". I said "Price TA".

    5 Things I have learned in 5 years of trading!

    "Smart Money" concepts? That sounds highly subjective. Please explain or at least provide a couple of examples. Trendlines are NOT subjective at all. Either they hold or they break. In either case useful information is conveyed. I'm not suggesting you "change your method". I'm telling...

    Learn Price TA... you'll do better. And BTW... "Trend lines" (one of the Price TA correlations) work, in spite of your opinion.

    There is ONE "right way" to use TA. You trade the correlation with a tight stop. That's it. It's not a matter of "works for one, but not for another"... not a matter of "how you interpret it". KISS, baby... as always.

    5 Things I have learned in 5 years of trading!

    Mostly agree... accept for 1. "No one-size fits all" in trading. Actually there is... it's Price TA. Works in ALL markets, in ALL time frames. 2. The only goal that matters is to get better at trading. Do that and the money will take care of itself.

    Throw the bastards out! US should withdraw from the UN.

    20 Years Of War In Afghanistan Has Cost US Taxpayers Over $2.2 Trillion

    The "war" in Afghanistan was all about lining somebody's pockets with American taxpayer $$$. How many American soldiers died there? And for what.... for some muckety-muck government officials to dip their fingers into the opium trade? Just another example of how and why American politicos...

    Is RSI better for intraday trading or swing trading

    Seems there are 4 range indicators most commonly followed... RSI, Stochastic, CCI and %R. I find CCI and %R to be too "jumpy" to be useful. RSI and Stochastic are similar and both useful when properly understood.

    Is RSI better for intraday trading or swing trading

    You're a smart and successful trader... and I don't like to go against you. But you've got this wrong, IMV. The "range indicators" work for trading if you bother to learn about them. (They are not as simple as "buy oversold, sell overbought). 14 day/period is "stock" but can be adjusted to...

    Half Of America Believes Vaccine Mandates, COVID Passports More Important Than "Protecting Freedom",

    A Fox News poll contends that a majority of Americans are in SUPPORT of vaccine mandates and the introduction of COVID passports that tie freedoms to vaccination status. The survey found that 50 percent of respondents are in favour of requiring proof of a coronavirus vaccine for “indoor...

    They Told Us About The Covid Vaccine....

    1. "Get the shot and be protected." 2. Then they said, "get a 2nd shot and be protected". 3. Now they're saying, "get a 3rd shot (booster) and be protected". 4. A Swedish doctor has postulated, "perhaps 5 shots will be needed". 5. Another doctor has postulated about "needing 10 shots"...

    For Those Successful ET Members: Did You Have A Mentor?

    There is zero financial upside for anyone who knows to mentor. Those who offer to mentor for a reasonable cost... like maybe, "Online Trading School"... will take your money without teaching what you need. Not that they are necessarily deceitful thieves... but likely they don't know...
