Life is a gamble, think about it, you crossing the street-simple right? Then all of a sudden a bus appears and you looking up from your hospital bed three days later thinking WTF are little clowns on the ceiling doing in my bedroom? So life is a gamble, and that said, trading is as well, but very few can put the "odds" on right side and the rest are bait for the sharks. Just sheep following sheep.

Finding a wide enough girth in wiggly lines ...diversions...crosses...round numbers...lines of resistance or consolidation or whatever...even fundamentals like news can manipulate a price. Traders have you defined what trading is to you?

Assuming you are a trader that believes markets can be manipulated does this change your vote? If I told you tomorrow will be a banner day in some market would you consider that trade to be "not gambling"?

If a herded animal (no not MS13) finds an opening in the fence do you follow? Is that "gambling" or "not gambling"?

Do segments of time in the past develop your strategy or merely give you the girth of the unknown?
