    Fulltime trader loner?

    To the OP. Sucessful traders do not trade full time. One thing that is fun is to spend your new found extra time helping others. Often local problems are not getting solved because of lack of money and sharpe problem solvers. Trading to take the full offer of the market is learned...

    Trading Interview Questions

    Hey you have only been here 5 or 6 years. I have heard that people who baffle easily take 10,000 hours to get a grip. It may be a good idea to estrange yourself from those who baffle you. They may live in places where there are a lot of good traders and they don't cut it. This last few...

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

    Why do you think Covel couldn't learn? His book proves he didn't learn how markets work nor did he learn to trade to make money. He mentions Henry as an example. He suggests that Henry is pulling down 20% year after year. Why is Henry an example for a non trader like Covel? Look at a...

    Peter Gabrial Bergman face to face and we used translations of Russian Texts. (Liffshitz and Landau come to mind quickly) This was in the late 50"s. He was on the Manhattan Project at the time. Our study operation was limited to a cut off in the top couple of % of the GRE. IBM also had some...

    Trading Interview Questions

    A person has to adjust to money. Money is a commodity that has utility. Life styles do not cost much to have. I am oriented differently than the OP here who ignores and makes up "study" lists for becoming an observer and not ever much of a participant. We all start the same. It is...

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

    As I remember, covel is a parasite of trend following just as David Goodboy is a parasite of money broker for passive market participants. PTJ ran a firm that traded his and OPM. You are asking a science question, maybe. The systemmic operation of the market is a system that is without...

    What do these three situations say to you?

    The long diagonal is the very powerful consideration that takes the "early exit", the "chop" definition, and the "retrace entry edge" well out of play for getting to ecellence in trading. Long ago "clean page 4" addressed how to deal with the long diagonal as an inderct deductive proof. A...

    What do these three situations say to you?

    Thank you for pointing out this nuance. Under the topic of permission, I posted a series of gates and kills. In the 10 cases for price bars. These functions deal with laterals. Laterals some times continue past the defining bar. As you see I shaded the boxes for all the cases. These...

    So did I answer the Q's before they were asked and removed? How does drift become chop? Answer. the market PACE (volume) goes into midday PACE. In relative database managementsystems using just PA, this PA is called a lateral. At the fourth bar of the lateral you do a retro naming...
