Market Intelligence-The Key To Profits

General, Sir;

Will we be issued sufficient weaponry to defeat the HK's before we are deloyed to the front?

God's Speed, Sir.

Quote from The General:

Pte risktaker,

When you are a General-you have to think like a General-and think like a soldier-and think like your own side-and the enemy side.

No civilians are allowed into battle-those who get caught in the crossfire do so because they are in a place where they should not be-tough-but also stupid.

Remember-it is the soldiers that get killed each and every day-the civilians only get killed in large numbers when we have a world war on a massive scale-and some very large bombs are dropped.

This thread is for the soldier who wants to be promoted-he will be called back from the front lines-thus no longer cannon fodder-and now he can really sit back and observe the battle field in detail-and see things that he never even knew existed right under his nose-at the front.

The General

PS-the Briefing sessions are not been responded to correctly-this will lead to bad training habits.

I thought I may have been watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGosYIlXdmU a few pages ago, and have an idea where you're going with this. Yes, I was in combat, and know the horrors of combat. I know what horror is...

I'm no star trader by any means, but can see where you're starting with this. Know the enemy. The market makers; the people taking the other sides of the trades. Know who's carrying ammo from the "footprints" they leave in the sand so we can deal with them accordingly. Know the one's running away. No need to kill them. Yet... But know them, and be able to recognize them very fast, and take action before they can fathom getting a shot off.

My personal two cents:
I know the horrors of war. Trading is the same as combat. Losing money is horror. However, being able to be as without emotion as the enemy that Brando talks about is a major plus towards reaching a fast victory. I used to show Apocalypse Now to my Marines, and rewind (yes it was VHS for us then. lol), to that scene with Brando over and over, telling them, "don't ever commit an atrocity while deployed. However, have the mindset instead... It's the art of war. Out thinking thy enemy...

Hope I don't get banned or demoted for my above points.

Pte Wagner-

You must fully understand and be observant-ALWAYS SOLDIER!

HF's = Heavy Footers
LF's = Light Footers

With correct instruction-attentive listening and note taking-you will be provided with ALL the weaponry REQUIRED to stay alive and live to fight another day.

After a while-you will then be promoted to the O-Mess-and this may be for the O's only-where more detailed battle plans will be looked at and explained-this is where it gets real interesting-but first-you must remove yourself from the front line-and not end up as cannon fodder.

E-4 Specialist Four LEAPup-

I must demote you for your own good-you have already got some privilege for serving as mentioned-but this war is slightly different to what you might think.

Part of training is to recognise false signs-and this terrain has been mined with many different types of AP devices-much thanks to the idiots who sell books and courses.

Now-the soldier-and Officers-must be prepared to forget everything they think they know-concentrate on survival-and then they will start to move away from the front-little by little.

Eventually-it will become clear that the battles are won-not by being well equipped-and having a heavy load-but by being very smart-knowing how to stay alive to fight another day-and OBSERVING the soldiers who are getting killed-for they are the ones who leave all their kit on the battlefield to be picked up by the elite core who move in to clean up the mess.

Being observant.
Absolute necessity to successful trading.

Focus on the task at hand.

Recognising strength and weakness at each natural PA oscillation.

Interesting . . . I'm with you so far General.
 
PA; Price Action as a "trap"

HF's, knowing how well "time" is on their side, may wish to ligthen their load. As HF's, their load is orders of magnitude greater than than the masses of LF's, so even by "lightening", they will remain HF's.

HF's purpose of lighting their load is actually a means to aquire more load, as they play the "time" component very well. Using PA, they can "trap" the LF's into moving a direction they wish. When enough LF's are in the snare, the trap is pulled and the HF's capture or destopry the weak and advance their position at the same time.

El Guapo, O-1
 
I enjoyed my enlisted years better anyway. Despite the money being MUCH less.

I've got some questions, but don't know where you want to start. MACD, PA, EMA's, etc.,

Didn't want to get demoted. I got busted back to L Cpl once, and had to walk around in my Mod Blues with NO blood stripe. OUCH!:(
 
Quote from The General:

Pte Dackster-

Very good question-you are now also promoted to O-1.

Frome here out we will use the O's - next level is O-2, etc, etc.

When you reply you need just sign off as O-1, to indicate that you are now at that Officer's level.

It is correct to say that heavy loads are heavy to carry-so the HF's tend to lag behind the LF's.

When the HF's catch up with the LF's-we use our Box to count how many foes are now in the vicinity. If the HF's are many-or likewise are fewer if already tracked to a previous location-then we know they are about to use some of their booby traps to lighten their load-as they know that they must now outrun the LF's before the shells start to land.

They are very cunning-as well as lazy bastards-and will not blink an eye when they see their fellow soldiers been blown to bits.

The General



General, Sir.

Thankyou for the promotion to O-1. Do the HFs ever set-up forward bases or killzones as an ambush tactic, in wait of the LFs, Sir?


Yours,


O-1 Dackster.

My appologies for the above question. You had not posted this before i let go with the Q.


Yours,

IMHO -

If it's not naturally observed, it is manufactured. That is part of the observation process.

PA is natural if laid out correctly.
EMA and the MACD are unnatural because they are either an average (not exact) or a calculations (not exact) thus making them both traps.

Time is a trap.
Summer diminishes liquidity of the ES market but not the Euro or the grains. Know your instrument and how time effects it. (Know your combatant)
Lunch diminishes liquidity (11:30 am EDT to 2:30 EDT), sometimes. This makes it a worse trap because of its rabid inconsistency. If you know a trap has a high potential of existing, AVOID it.
