Let's see you do it then. Live demo that you can't fake. Will NEVER happen.

"Leading indicators" like stochastics? (which you've said repeatedly is a leading indicator)
Quote from jack hershey:

Running ahead of the herd using smart money as a leading indicator, lets anyone from geginner to expert make a multiple of the daily range ever day and not ever be on the wrong side of the market.

I have over 10 more of these leading indicators, all related to taking the market's offer as the standard.
 
Quote from Fibbin-Archie:

So we've talked about BOBs, NRBs & WRBs, or breakouts on volatility expansion.

Surely you would need to tailor your strategy for trend days and range bound days. Which begs the question, how do you anticipate each of these?

FA,

How would you define trend days and range days – specifically?

Need to define something – before it can be identified and/ or planned for

Otherwise we’re standing in the dark, blindfolded, shooting at a moving target

With respect to NRB’s and WRB’s


There is an indicator that gives an indication (go figure) what the next bar may look like…
(I say may because with regard to the mkt – nothing is set in stone except our maximum acceptable loss for each trade)


Likely we’ll want to ferret this indicator out and add it to our analysis package – that is as long as we’re able to explain how it could be used

I appreciate how hard it is to read another’s mind – but I would suggest that is what we do every day – read the mkt’s collective mind


The I has to do with price’s action… (not to be confused with price action trading)

You’re facing a dilemma we all face


Folks just starting out have a series of locked doors (questions) they must unlock (answer), each door has a different key, some doors lead to solutions, some doors lead to dead ends, some doors lead to peril – that if they don’t recognize, turn around and go back – they fail…

Get through the correct doors – you succeed – don’t and you fail


But (always a but) – become a successful trader and the problems are solved right – nope


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Being a trader is a nonstop process of asking questions, thinking through the questions, connecting the dots, finding answers, applying answers… And going back to square one and starting over if the answer turns out not to be the solution – as often is the case…


Iow – each day every trader faces a series of unique locked doors (questions)

Examples…
Which way is the mkt headed
What is price doing
Should I go long or short
Is this trade going to work
Where should I exit/ when should I exit
Is the mkt changing/ how is it changing
etc.. etc… etc… etc… Ad infinitum


We work, and thrive – in a world of uncertainty, and never ending questions…


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your post and the bart clip is an exercise in thinking, connecting dots, and finding a solution….


So think about what you posted… look at a chart… look at the video…try and identify a connection between a chart, the video and what you posted. Come up with an answer… see if the answer is the solution, start over and do it again if it is not…

btw... Another vital skill is being able to repeatedly clear your mind and begin anew as if nothing ever happened

Never be hesitant to post your questions…..



However if you’d rather – just say so and I will PM you the answer– its all good……

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is just one – of the gazillion – questions you will face and need to solve in your trading – just as we all did – just as we all do – every single day.



We’ll make the time – if you decide to do the work Sir….

And describe what it would look like - where it matters most


RN

RN is back, with a smack
now listen up, you little pup
TE is bad, and often mad
to see the twits, and stupid gits:D

they talk of this, but who gives piss
for matter not, it is all snot
they think they know, of what to show
a few are quick, and know they thick:D

if u have cents, sit on the fence
RN no fool, and has the tool:)
he say IA, and think you may
it is no tool, wrong again, you fool

IA you see, is what it BE
no squiggly art, will show the start
for when you sit, like a twit
you must know, it's all a show

to win a dime, you must hear chime
for when it ring, it sure does sing
the A is fact, as in ACT
the I you see, is really E:cool:

Or B&E...

Bartman, move in time to the rhythm of the Market? IOW, no bias, just take your cue from the PA and anticipate & act accordingly...


In simple terms...

Trend day = WRB

Range day = NRB

I've had a long hard think about how, where and why I've lost money, not banked open profit and left money on the table, it all boils down pretty much to having a directional bias based on fundys & technicals more suited to position trading than day trading, trading NRBs like they're WRBs and vice versa. Looking for stuff to justify my bias rather than reading PA.

RN & TE, thanks for your insights & poetry...

FA is right, in hindsight
the Key u see, not RN..nor TE
the only cure, is know for sure
what will B, will always BE

but be no fool, u need the tool
for to trade blind, is without mind
a fool u see, thinks like HE
and HE knows all, but all is small

there is a way, to make more hay
when sun shine bright, get into flight
ride on the wing, as long as sing
when not in pitch, it best to ditch

as long as u, are in cue
a click of right, ur back in flight
for many think, when tune do sink
it's finished song, but that is wrong

the song not up, just take a cup
for moves u see, are what they BE:D
most not know, that money flow
in and out, with a shout

it matter no, what make it so
what matter thee, is that you SEE
a gambler win, when the spin
is fast then slow, makes $$$ grow:D

so u read this, and think it piss
but piss it not, it really swot
the fools u see, think they be
the ones who know, what makes the show

the show is set, and for to get
u must be cool, and not a fool
as TE say, to make more hay
u have to SEE, that B is BE

but what bout rest, for they not jest
and books galore, do match the score
not surely be, such as TE
RN and few, but know the cue

the choice for YOU, is easy too
just stop and think, and use some ink
if sense it be, and common see
it is no farce, get OFF YOUR ARSE:D
