    So say you do find a Holy Grail Method...

    If you wish to solve your problem, consider all the people who feel the way you do. These people would galdly get together with you to hear from you and vice versa. Our group got so large that we divided the city into portions and had sub groups. Another aspect about it was that people...

    Is there anything other than TA and Fundamentals?

    thank you for your clarification. We can agree to dissagree. For me, prediction is not possible. This means I do not build systems to predict. My alternative is to "always know I know" in the Present. As bighog says, we all trade in the Present and that is where we make decisions...

    Gaussians in the FI have fat tails. Each end can cause similar frustration. Hi-jacking is assigned to me very often. One of my habits is responding to Q's. Some of my answers are disturbing as well. Your active participation is not substantive, however. It is a different source of...

    Is there anything other than TA and Fundamentals?

    This is my final post in this thread. pinkman: As you saw when you sat there and drew pairs of bars to get all the pairs, you got 9. There is one other; it requires three bars. Here is the only conclusion possible: The market is finite and simple to gain control over in the...

    Is there anything other than TA and Fundamentals?

    pinkman: You need to consider just a few things. See if this means anything to you: {[(..............)..(.....)..]..[(......) ....(........)..].} If you are familiar with computers, you know they "process". Successful traders do process. What they process did not make...

    The best traders in ET

    Yes, you are correct in second paragraph. Once it becomes easy to originate "flow charts" for other approaches, then most time is spent dealing with how to "bridge onward" to understand the ways in which the overlap of different methods contributes to moving towards the Holy Grail. Also, I...

    Moving Forward: Your Opinion of ET

    I haven't read the thread thoroughly so my comments will probably overlap most others. I feel the site could continue as is and let it die of old age and infirmaty. And I feel a bridge can be added. The bridge would lead to a scratch foundation that is modern as can be. Then, threads...

    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    My view is that the markets closely relate to their participants. Thus, I could build a system of the market's operation. So I did several of these. Now, looking back I conclude several things. Prediction is not a necessity for taking the full offer of the markets. There is no...

    What is a tick chart?

    Why aren't your charts lined up so Present is vertically aligned? Is it possible that the OP is asking about an OTR chart? If so he could use the rules for signals on an OTR.

    The most important tools in your opinion

    same tool and it comes from settings. As Nodoji suggests, "context" is a requirement for a measurement. End Effects are a consequence of monitoring and analyzing bar by bar the OOE on the independent variable. The primary and secondary trend (pattern development over events) monitoring...

    The most important tools in your opinion

    My view of tooling is the traditional engineering definition. Oraclewizard and endgame have spoken of trader rules; These are broadly accepted and used by a lot of people and organizations. These rules are an aid for those who are compensating for market unknowns. kut2k2 mentions powerful...
