    Quote: "Trading is a teachable science, not an innate talent."

    JH: I met a person at my first job. He loaned me a copy of the 4th Ed of Magee. I read it. As the first 20 days past, I watched and followed my associate. He was mentoring me in two ways: He provided a book he owned. He position traded. Thus I watched him trade using 6 to 8 day holds and...

    Quote: "Trading is a teachable science, not an innate talent."

    MC: One followup Q. Is trading teachable, or ..... JH: I had innate talent(I'm sort of self taught, almost) so I taught trading to thousands of people successfully. The OP does not want to get rich and he knows about innate talent and not having it.

    Quote: "Trading is a teachable science, not an innate talent."

    ET is so classic. Here is an ET vendor with a talking microphone. Not even ice cream trucks come to our neighborhood. Our small places are allowed livestock including horses for horseback riding. We know "If wishes were beggars, horses would have riders." (Keeping Covel's theme live, here)...

    TA - Objective or Psychological Skill?

    An above average discussion is ensuing. thanks for starting the thread and, further, explaining your viewpoint and perspective. I wish those who generalize would cite the back up references. For me Aronson used the simplistic rsulte of Masters. Later he qualified it as referenced here...

    The forming bar on that chart is "loked in". Further it has an event name (PP2) I look at my "table of 8 panels to find, under Set A, if the pair (PP6 to PP2 is there to precipitate the ned of my short hold and reverse to a long hold. The pair is not there. So, in the present and untl...

    TA - Objective or Psychological Skill?

    My people get stuck where you and Wiki reside. Your and Wiki's Philospohy of History (Danto, columbia)is unfortunate. How to study the market system of operation would be more fruitful. As you progress, you find out what has to be done to modify the definition to make it correct. As it...

    TA - Objective or Psychological Skill?

    For me it is like driving a car. In driving you "know that you know" because you have knowledge and skills and a reliable auto and all drivers follow the same defensive practices on the roads.

    TA - Objective or Psychological Skill?

    I enjoyed reading your post. I objectify TA by using RDBMS approach. I have three 3 ring binders I consult. The items entered are algebraic "true/falses" or IF, THEN True or Falses. I do sense the RDBMS, this is matched against the three common mind operators AND my fully...

    TA - Objective or Psychological Skill?

    TA can be objective if and when a person uses rational thought. For any type of "problem solving", the solver has to be rational. You have employees. They can tell you what a trader's expert quality performance is. It is the standard in every shop. Everyone knows the independent and...

    TA - Objective or Psychological Skill?

    The quote is absurd. I surmise that mostly everyone knows that. Prediction is not a requirement. Taking the full offer of the market continually has nothing to do with prediction. The only requirement to take the full offer of the market is to know that you know in the PRESENT.

    TA - Objective or Psychological Skill?

    You are mistaken. If you wish, please consider how signals are invented or deduced by those who think in mathmatical terms. The name of one signal generator is MACD. Its inventor chose the name wisely. MACD generates six specific contexts. The power of MACD had an original intent as...

    TA - Objective or Psychological Skill?

    My view is that the reasearch and development is unscientific. There is no way to begin the process engaged in since there is no foundation for beginning. No conclusions can even be attempted.

    TA - Objective or Psychological Skill?

    I enjoy ET and one of he facets is the illogical reasoning of participants. I am not saying this to be negative in any way. As an observer I am just looking at how people get into trouble by their own undoing. Here in this post above each of the paragraphs is proven to be incorrect by its...

    TA - Objective or Psychological Skill?

    Hi rask and corn. Please consider logic. It is a good idea to restrict proofs to what is logically possible. Year after year in ET, people speak of proving TA does not work. This is a proof that is outside of reason and logic. I like problem solving and inventing using allowable...
