Market Intelligence-The Key To Profits

Quote from ProfLogic:

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.

Quote from ER9:

Sir...do HF's use a cover tactic of light volume buying/selling over time, on certain battle fields (ES), to manipulate PA thus giving one impression before springing a trap, hoping to get an advantage over their enemy by superior position?

In other words Sir...can they or do they move around the battlefield at all times during the day, possibly unrecognized for who they actually are, by skillfully covering their tracks?

Pte ER9-

Most of the lazy bastards leave computers do the work-so-when you are on a terrain specific reconnaissance mission-do not be surprised if you see few LF's and many HF's-as the HF's carry black AP devices all of the time.

THINK SOLDIER-ALL OF THE TIME

I personally like this thread as it is very entertaining and informative in different disciplines. But for those who aren't quick with the metaphors, and require plain vanilla examples, consider reading: The Day Trader's Survival Guide: How to Be Consistently Profitable in Short-Term Markets: by Christopher A. Farrell

It explains differences between specialists and market makers as well as the various market maker tricks and ways to trick the MMs. Much of the content in this thread thus far is covered in that book, but the book explains it on the civilian level. :)

I will be reading this thread on a consistent basis. Good stuff for those who may be interested in this form of trading and extremely creative!

With respect, -Topher

Pte topherea-

As you can see we have many different "mindsets" in the camp-some have fought some hard battles and survived-some have been wounded badly-some have left the front line altogether-and we even have some that have wandered into the camp on the way to back to the zoo.

This is a war we are fighting-and not a place for children.

The main goal in any war-for the soldier on the ground- is survival-so that is always the main focus point.

As one becomes "an expert" at surviving-the war then takes on a different meaning.

Just watch and see how many find it hard to accept that staying alive is the most important thing-in any war.

Quote from ashantt:

Can someone teach me how to trade?

When you are pinned down-with enemy fire coming from all angles-and you see your mate fall to the ground with a small hole in the centre of his head-and the back of his head missing-who is going to get you out of that situation?

There is one correct answer-when you get it-you will then know what you need to do for to learn how to trade ANY market.

WAKE UP SOLDIER-OR HALF OF YOUR HEAD WILL BE BLOWN OFF AS WELL

General, Sir.

I've seen many a soldier draw lines on thier maps, horizontal and diagonal, connecting past battles and skirmishes. They then protract the lines into what seems like neutral ground, and so take this ground as a safe haven to set up a small camp for the next battle.

Blind tactics without proper use of the sit-rep intelligence?

I alway warn them it is best to judge the battle as it comes to them and not take anything for granted. I've seen so many good men killed off in these so called neutral areas.

General, could you please advise, Sir.


Yours,

O-1 Dackster-

A soldier should never look any further beyond the area that he can accurately survey for indicators.

Even if he has the latest visual aid to assist-his field of view will be limited to the angle of the device-so he will surely miss some very important sign-and the result can be the black body bag.

KNOW YOUR HEIGHT AND DISTANCE

ATTENTION!

VOLUNTEERS REQUIRED


We need some soldiers with artistic talents.

Draw 3 separate terrains as follows.

1. Flat Area with a field of Corn in the centre.

2. Mountain Area protecting a bunker full of US$.

3. Area of a soldiers own choice with specific target to survey, gather intelligence, attack and liquidate.

For each terrain-you are to use the already provided training (now you see why the Briefings should have been answered) to list how many foes are in the vicinity-the number of HF's and LF's-and their movements.
