POLL: What determines your Trades?

[rcanfiel]

What is your trading philosophy (what determines your trades)?

 

[nazzdack]

Nearly all of the choices are a by-product of price action.

Quote from nazzdack:

Nearly all of the choices are a by-product of price action.

This argument could for any question, like

"Do you trade options, futures, stocks, or bonds?

And saying

"Nearly all of the choices are a type of instrument."

True, but uninformative.

Some of the zero responses are quite interesting...

I think price action alone via charts should be a different poll option than price action alone via the T&S and order books. I trade off the prints and books, not charts.

I think those who think they are trading off of price action alone are actually employing TA on some level, whether they are cognizant of it or not. So I would argue that price action is a subset of TA.
