Tisk, tisk, tisk. My, we can be an ugly group at times.
It's the weekend, and I'm bored, so I'll try this one more time. Does anyone know what a presupposition is? It's a "language pattern" that presupposes something as fact, when in reality (whatever that is) it may not be. For example, the individual who started this thread asked a question that implied successful traders have setups that are a secret to the rest of the world. Come on guys (and gals?). Us humans have been trading for hundreds of years. Candlestick charting was used to trade rice over 300 years ago. Do you really think there are any secrets left. If you're looking for a holy grail (secret) of any sort, you don't understand how the market works. Winners and losers alike, trade breakouts and pullbacks. The winners simply have taken the time to understand breakouts and pullbacks work, and which ones don't. The winners have taken the time to understand that trading is a statistical game, not a magic 8 ball. The winners have taken the time to build the mental discipline to follow what works.
There are no secrets. And I realize, the only people who beleive this already know it. And those of you who continue to look for those ilusive secrets, thank you very much. When you lose, trying the next black box or newest oscillator, or whatever; I'll be getting my unfair share of those losses added to my account. Not because I'm smarter than you. It's just that I'm willing to look at what works and do it. Even if it just seems to simple at time.
PS Simple doesn't mean easy.
