Intraday Trend Following

just got to stay there.

maybe you can work on being out of market more, on being more patient, this is often a problem with profitable traders...…...

yep
what does it do the balance 75%, when it is not in a trend?

it is in a channel. and in any educational course this subject of channels is mostly not dealt with or only a page is given to it. no wonder most traders lose money.

this 75% is what traders focus the least upon. they are forever searching for a trend, the easy money.

and missing what is really the easy money.

I don't care what it does when its not in a trend. I don't trade a market if its not in a trend.

Most traders are seeking reversals at the very start (or before the start) of new trends, they are not looking for established trends to join.

I bet you do not trade 5 min
I do not have anything else to do whole day so I would like to trade anything and everything.
that is why it has taken me 13 years just to begin to have an idea of trading.
but that was what I wanted from the beginning.
you want something else and that is your choice

I really envy you......
I have, I think, read every book ever printed.
but maybe if you start from the beginning as if you are a novice and work through your method your ideas anew it would help.
thinking for yourself will get you there....do not get frustrated and jump off your transport before you reach your destination. that can be injurious

It's profitable, that's enough. Without books. The same for me as for Turveyd. Didn't read a book either. But I read one long ago. Profitable YES .... should give book readers something to think about ....
Practice is the thing and reading the price can turn into something.

If you can't trade write and sell a book telling others how to LOL

Books are for kids, don't do them, live and form your own opinions.

I used to play golf 4 handicap.

but I never coached anybody...….especially bad players. their game used to come to me.

that is why good traders DO NOT coach anyone.

only bad traders do....but you can gain a lot from their experience...because they are bad traders.

bad apples do spoil the whole bunch

And yet here you are, never stingy about giving sage advices (well, I ain't so sure about the "sage" part).
