Quote from marketsurfer:
history is filled with traders who have made huge scores due to pure luck-- just like any pseudo random based reward system. You and the other TA believers simply can not deal with randomness, therefore you build a false construct to make things appear orderly-- breaking this down will be your first step to understanding how markets really work. Until then, your market view is based on delusion-- with any success attributed to money management techniques. see tharp, niederhoffer and Gallacher for further info.

I have a 3 ring called "polish sheets". It is also titled "The Book on How the Market Works". It is subtended by 28 more 3 rings.
I should post here a chapter that expresses why predicting is not a requirement of trading. The randomness concept is also buried.
OODA is the CW framework that generates all this long term memory you keep dredging up. Did you figure out why fighter pilots do not use TA? John Boyd made a multifeedback system for fighter pilots and qwuants applied it to your randomness.
Making money at 20 to 25% a year is like what happens before lunch when MADA is used.
We suggest to you that "you always know you know".
Deduction proves OODA is untrue as a market betting system.
Granularity of variables makes ALL market systems finite math problems. Therefore, by deduction, there is NO betting ever required.
Can you figure out from algebra how simultaneous equations work?
Count the market variables. Write this down as a number.
That is the number of simultaneous equations you need if you only use those variables as mentioned in OODA.
There are four questions.
The first one has been posted and answered. What maths is used to do the operation of the market? Ans: finite.
Monitor.....Analyze.....Decide.....Act....(MADA, 1957) This replaces the OODA of CW.
The emotions are: support, comfort and confidence.... WHY?
Answer: because, for all the events, "you know that you know".
BUT you know all the "time" it is "random". The emotions that come with your life are: fear, anxiety and anger. WHY?
You do NOT "know that you know".
You are a not head. Get he NLP picture.
