Spyder and team,
I am not sure how to accurately express my thinking here but I will try as best I can;
As one becomes more competent in the mechanical annotation aspects of the system (channels, Gaussians, FTT, etc) It is expectant that his/her ability to listen to what the market is telling them improves as well (the context).
Now as of late, when performing the MADA routine, I find myself less and less acquainted with the âOh Shit! - Price just moved against me, time to wash!â mentality and a certain calmness is setting in.
Moreover, it seems that the market is whispering certain immediate or short-order outcomes.
(of course - what must come next)â¦
But "next", in my mind, seems to be moving further out - meaning what the upcoming leg might look like and where it might occur, how strong the move might be, how it may lead to the following next change signal, etcâ¦
In other words many trades I have been 'seeing' feel like a result of seeing an upcoming series (or sequence of events which must unfold, and it is a failure within the expectant sequence, which tells me change or continuation). This mindset is not always in effect (and most certainly less than more at this stage in my development), but more and more nonetheless.
Is this wiring correct or have I wandered into invention or prediction here? In other words, is this a natural progression in thinking and MADA for Jacks technique(s)? I have tried to be very honest with myself and perform frequent self-assessments and it really does not feel like prediction, but rather that "watching the future move into the now" seems to be much more concrete and the "future" seems to be moving further from just the next bar or 2 or 3.
Is this a natural developmental progression, or am I deluding myself?
To be frank, I was not even fully conscious of this until recently when I was trying to articulate my MADA for posting trades on this thread that I realized there are many factors which are being evaluated in the NOW and the future is somehow being projected as it moves into NOW, and all very dynamically. Problem is, I cannot find the words to fully capture and express it in writing.
I have done my best to explain what is going on within my mind, and hopefully it is correctly interpreted here.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I feel it is important to note that I inquire not because I am carving every turn and taking 3X ATR (in fact, my debrief is a realization of my lack of skill to extract what the market is offering every day), but rather that my mindset seems to be changing (and at this point in time, it feels rather mystical) and I wanted any counsel and/or admonition based on what I have tried to articulate.
Thanks and Happy Holidays!
