    Time is our Friend

    i started trading on the session openings in the wild startup, in the old days it was hard to this but now with a dom it's much easier than ever. still i have a tendency to set out the opening cause i don't want that fight. i like to see which way the train is going and then hop on now.

    New beginnings

    there is never a truly validated system test without real money. you like zillions probably think you have something, but you are at the first step of the stairway to heaven. meaning there are so many pitfalls in the system testing process, it would literally take 10 years to explain most...

    why people won't accept this lol - because people want to be in control more than they want to make money. they will discard a profitable method because it does not fit their ego rather let the statistics dictate their method. over and over again nothing changes thank goodness.
