"...when it comes to trading, it is another ball game. Is this true for you NoiseTrader?"
I agree with the above 100% -- Analysis and trading are totally different ball games -- I'm the real deal and I eat my own cooking -- I do it live in real- time and I post the trades in a Yahoo conference.
You can download an Excel file with the trades I''ve been posting live and trading myself in the last quarter for my trading group.
I have zero interest in the coulda shoulda and wouda BS....
I'm interested in only three things:
1) Doing more of what works and doing less of what does not work.
2) I want what I do that works to be founded in market principles...so that its robust and keeps working
3) I want to do it in a way that I can get take a high probability entry manage the trade and take partials to offset risk, and get low-risk exposure to volatility.
I invite you to come trade with me for a while and see for yourself. I'll gladly send you or anyone interested my daily trading plan which details what I'm looking at and exactly what I am seeing every day.
