How do you not predict?

I’m still trying to find the correct path. That’s why I dig into this thread quite a bit. There’s a lot of diversity in the ideas here.

Do you have a PDF? I couldn’t find it online. Still looking. I might eventually find it

Children like to play around and try a lot of different things. As adults, we stick ourselves into bubbles and don’t think outside of what we want to believe. We can also be much less energetic and lazy. Combine those 2 things together and a person never learns what they need to learn.

This line of thinking regarding movements and volatility led me to an idea. going to research and explore it now :D

Where do you get your data sheets?

I guess experience shouldn’t be totally discredited. If the market is repeatable (which it seems that way), then I should be able to retain some of that information if price action is useful in any simple way

In addition to that, I’m not even really sure where to get started with gathering my own data on trends. I guess I just need to start somewhere and hope that what I’m doing matters. I do think my experience might be counting for something but experience might be an illusion to some extent.

Ok so I went through a lot of the OPs posts in other forums etc. I did that before but I had forgotten some things he mentioned. He spells it out plainly in other threads. To be honest, I’m sort of hanging onto his every word. 1. 95% of traders fail and it’s because of doing all the popular...

I’m trying to come up with a system by Backtesting a lot. I repeated the same strategy over and over but the results were not good. I even tried flipping it but it was still a bad strategy after doing that. Can anyone give me advice on what I should be doing?

Hmmm… maybe that’s why they say to get in at low risk area and to get out when it’s not going anywhere

Question: How do you trade with the trend when sometimes highs/lows are respected and sometimes they are not?

Oh I think I understand what you’re saying. You’re saying to follow the trend and keep it simple.

Can you elaborate?

And then also being just vigilant enough to adapt. Snart said it really well “Make a plan. Execute the plan. Expect the plan to go off the rails”

Yeah, I have to rethink everything I’m doing wrong which is: 1. Make a plan, test the plan 2. Find out the reasons for me losing I suspect there are more things like “changing market conditions” and knowing how to work around that which really just goes back to points 1 and 2.

Oh and thankyou. I think I know what I need to do now.

I feel like the answer is probably sell but to be honest, I would have bought right there due to the shift in momentum solely looking at that picture. Edit: just looked at what happened and it looks like I would have been wrong xD Edit: Maybe what I need to do is zoom out more. Due to not...

WOW, I am just now figuring this out. This is really cool! It’s actually doable. I don’t know what bubble I was in with thinking it wasn’t possible to plot them

I had a really cool idea today actually. I am using the dates on my live trading notes to plot various account statement periods for when I was most likely activating a particular strategy. Since I have so many trades and notes already, I plan to use some kind of indicator to plot my trades on a...
