Quote from palinuro:
you've stressed this for several months now, and to individuals with (I think) quite different skill levels and attitudes.
Correct.
Quote from palinuro:
Are you referring to one specific component, or does it vary with each individual / occasion?
Each individual has missed a different 'note' on the sheet music, but the notes all reside around the same scale.
Quote from palinuro:
If it is one component, do you mean the detailed understanding of sequencing on multiple fractals?
For some, this represents the area which requires additional focus. For others, thorough, complete and accurate annotation remains the major obstacle. In addition, a failure to shift one's mindset from, "Does the Market
always create a Point Three?" to "The Market
does always create a Point Three!" has prevented the trader from further progression.
Of course, a number of people have simply failed to follow directions. Either believing they
have done so without 'seeing' they haven't
or believing contrasting, conflicting or changed information has been presented when the reality is,
nothing has changed. Proof of this resides on the charts of some of the newer folks (whether or not these new 'beginners' realize they already
know the correct answers remains another matter entirely) where the recent beginners follow directions correctly, but some of the folks who have been here since the begining to not.
Strangely enough, sometimes a simple review of the presented material creates an environment whereby a trader 'sees' things differently the second time through. I'm told, "Oh!
That's what he meant by that post!" is a phrase many people have reported saying during their own return to the
M phase.
HTH.
