25 Years & $100 Million Profits... A to your Q's, Today Only

Quote from Trayo:

Hello Gnome,

I am curious to know how big a role discretion plays in your trading style. If discretion does play a role, when do you usually use it?

Thanks

If our entries are not automated, then aren't we all "discretionary" do a degree?

I'm always looking for "setups", "things"... as simple as a "test of a trendline", or "congestion breakout".

Congratulations on another successful year Gnome.

No questions for you, although I do wonder how you decided on your handle.

I hope you and your family are safe and happy this year and going forward.

OK.. I like this story :>).

Years ago, I was working on a computer slide show presentation about market timing. My Ivy League buddy was at my house one day and asked about it. So I tried to explain about how market psychology was displayed in chart patterns.

He went home and later called me up and suggested I call it G.N.O.M.E.... an acronym for Geometric Norms Of Market Emotion... BRILLIANT! (Guinness beer commercials).

In folklore, the Gnome was the subterranean dwarf (NOT Troll) who guarded the treasure. I also had a client who was an artist and art teacher... she and her husband loved Gnome figurines... had them all over their house. I asked her to draw me a Gnome character I could use for stationery and business cards... I still have the original pen and ink drawing.

It all seemed to fit so well... brings a smile to my face whenever I think about it.

I would say "double bottom" or "double top" any chart time frame

Is trading the S&Ps harder now than it was 10 or 20 years ago?

In a sense, I think it's more difficult. But that's probably because I have residual concepts clinging to my trading psyche.

It's absolutely true that the market "changes spots" from time to time. And to succeed over the long haul, you have to adapt your behavior to the changes.... no easy task.

I didn't expect this amount of response... I don't have enough Fat Tire on hand to cope with all of it... :D

I would have guessed it was after the name of the desktop for linux.
