Thank you for the thoughtful reply, but I am neither thinking nor trading on that scale. I am merely attempting to reverse the industrial revolution in the sense that I want to be my own little cottage industry, metaphorically cobbling a single pair of shoes each day. I have neither the time nor inclination to read as widely as you do. My reading is rather simple: the tape, or more exactly, visual and sonic representations of it. I was in an NQ trade the other day which stopped in its tracks with no discernible reason that I could ever find: no fib, no intraday S/R, no long term S/R, no clear SCT pattern, no extraordinary dynamics, no news, it just fucking reversed. Seeking subtle cues to understanding and acting on such events is what I spend what little intellectual horsepower I have left on. Sorry, Jack, I tried. You are in a different world, which must work for you. I prefer to be the mouse which outwits the trap to get the cheese when no one is looking.
