Quote from gravitonium77:
My job is to sort out which combinations are important.
Read the above quote of yours again, and again - because this
isn't your job at all.
You've omitted, or more accurately
translated, a significant portion of the intent behind many of my posts. For example, "It is NOT as easy as 'tapes make traverses,'" does not include, "Just as letters build words and words build sentences, so too do tapes build traverses and traverses build channels." Note my choice of analogy. While 26 letters exist in the englaish alphabet, one
could say it is impossible to learn to read due to the
infinite number of combinations of letters which exist. Yet somehow, the human race has learned to communicate in both oral and written form by using letters, words and sentences.
How is such a thing possible? While all letters are indeed different from one another, they do have commonality when combined in certain ways. Just as Price and Volume combine in certain ways to repeat, over and over again, the same sequences from Point One to Point Two to Point Three. Just as sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a period, so too must a traverse (and a channel) begin and end. Without a beginning and an ending, neither a sentence, nor a traverse can exist. This is not
new information. This is simply common sense. A
thing (whatever the definition) cannot exist until it begins, and
all things have an end.
While I
do have empathy for anyone experiencing frustration, I cannot 'see' through your eyes, and I cannot pinpoint what you have missed or translated that my posts did not infer nor imply. Clearly, a number of people can 'see' that which the market provides. However, you have chosen to point out what others
could not see (at a conscious level), but you do not know what they
did see - consciously or subconsciously.
Finally, be clear about this last part. I have no agenda for providing the information in a fashion which I feel represents an easy mode or a difficult one. I have simply provided information. Obviously for some, the information made sense, and transference resulted. Now, since a number of people viewed the
same information from the
same source as you (or anyone else currently struggling), and these nsame people 'get it' while you (and others struggling) do not, where
must the source of the obstacle originate? The Information? The Person Providing the information? or The person reading the information?
If you need proof, simply review the recent discussions surrounding Peak Volume. I presented a simple and straightforward definition. Note how many posts attempted to
overcomplicate the process. Note how many posts failed to simply
look at a chart and differentiate. Note how I was asked if a certain bar
really was Peak Volume - even though I had clearly indicated it was not several moments before the question. Note how many people, so many times I have lost count, simply
ignore, misinterpret or dismiss assistance provided by a whole range of individuals contributing to this thread.
Obviously, you cannot 'see' that which others find crystal clear. What you also fail to see is this: The reason for your difficulty rests squarely on your own shoulders.
Nobody likes to read these words, and
nobody whats to admit the problem resides between their own two ears, but let's face it, it is what it is, and really, blaming me, the material, or anything else, isn't going to get you to where you need to be.
So, anyone reading these words should
start from this point forward by shifting their mindset. First, understand the problem. Second, locate a solution.
Observe the problem from several different vantage points. Attempt to solve part of the problem, then solve the rest. Make sure all data needed to resolve the issues resides within your brain.
Believe me, I do have empathy for you (and others like you) and your struggles. However, should I choose to stop posting tomorrow,
everyone has all the answers they ever need. Most simply look for the answers in the wrong places.
