    Why Do We Trade? For Real.

    When preparation meets opportunity. :)

    Tom Cotton Wants To Punish Countries That Take Guantanamo Prisoners -- Including U.S. Allies

    If Fox News were a real news organization, I might be concerned. But I don't see any more importance to this "soaring popularity" than to the soaring popularity of Honey Boo-Boo.

    Heat goes on: Earth headed for warmest year on record

    Though one should realize that there's really no point in repeating graphs and charts even once. These people aren't going to change their minds about AGW any more than they are going to change their minds about the heavens and the earth being created in a week, or that cavemen rode dinosaurs...

    Odumbo Let 60,000 Felony-Convicted Illegals Out Of Prison

    So glad to hear that. What if it's 99%?

    Systematic/Mechanical Approach to SLA

    No assumptions. It's all in your journal. You may want to read it some time. Most beginners could take what's there and run with it. But, for whatever reason, not you.

    Systematic/Mechanical Approach to SLA

    On the other hand, if you had done the testing over the past year instead of complaining about how no one would tell you what to do, you'd know where the entries and exits are. If gears can do it and lajax can do it and whoever else can do it, why can't you? Because you're special. This isn't...

    switching gears to Price Action via SLA

    Congratulations. And, no, one can't make money just sitting on the sidelines. But I guarantee there were many who lost money today by trying to catch moves that never came. It's a bummer to wait for Monday trading all jazzed up and ready to go and then be faced with what we were faced with...

    The Hindsight Thread.

    This morning's prep chart can be found in the Foresight thread, but there's little difference. This was not the sort of easy-to-trade range that we had last week. And since the SLA is self-correcting and self-adapting, there were no trades. Caca pasa.

    If you had to do it all over again.......

    You're right, of course. I hear from many people through emails and PMs that they are enjoying success with what I've offered (just recently a physicist, a chemist, and a mathematician). But they don't want to post, for obvious reasons (just review this thread, one of a great many just like it)...

    Yukoner and JSmith discuss - feel free to weigh in

    Given that this guy trades the ES in the wrong direction with 40pt stops, he knows all about losing real money in the real market.

    New to TA

    A final note: Donna is much more statistics-oriented than I am. Or ever was. Years ago I went through all the analysis and backtesting and forwardtesting and so on and so forth until I came up with something I could trust. But I haven't gone through any of that since. No reason to. And I tossed...

    But, as you probably know, I’m a lawyer. No, I didn't. But you very likely learned how to think, a skill that's in short supply. I can’t find any indication in your response about whether you buy into “measured moves”. I think that you do seem to buy into price targets based on supply and...

    Tom Cotton Wants To Punish Countries That Take Guantanamo Prisoners -- Including U.S. Allies

    Hell, yes. Punish everybody. It's the Christian Conservative way.

    Well, posting to an existing thread wasn't what I had in mind, but the OP seems to have moved on, so . . . You registered eight years ago and posted to gmst's thread six years ago that his story was similar to yours. This doesn't tell me much, but it's a start. Technical analysis is the study...

    If you had to do it all over again.......

    I'm flattered that this is only your fifth post in six years and you directed it to me, but I don't want to participate in taking this thread even further off track. If you'd like to post your question someplace else, I'd be happy to answer. Maybe somewhere in Technical Analysis? Or Trading?
