The M.A.T.R.I.X
- Thread starter elite34s
- Start date
Now, before we get Agent Smith popping up all over the place, again, I want to move on with a simple experiment.
We will use the YM as it has a better spread than the ES.
What I want you to do, for those that are interested in learning of course, is to start posting trades for the YM as follows:
1. Lmt Order Buy / Sell Level
2. Stp Level once order is filled
3. Sell Stp Lmt / Buy Stp Lmt Level once Stp Level is in place
These trades are only to be put on during normal market hours, for obvious reasons !
The goal is to see who will lose $1,000 first !
Remember, the goal is to lose, not to win !

Thanks to your hint I find out aq.com refers to aqua.communis in the origin of the french language and some of the english language also. But I'm skeptic as the aqueduct system developped in Rome was very advanced and effective. There was some thought that wealthy population of Rome were poisoned by lead brought to them by their private lead pipes. In a way, the constant flow of "fresh" water contributed to lower Public Health issues and not to the decline of population 
?
Reference to trading would be then liquidity, changing every day and with big player capturing a neat part directly to them and the rest "lower quality water" to the rest of the traders

Very good BX

Note that the success of the Aquaducts was dependant on what is called a " Keystone" !
Not only did one simple feat of engineering lead to many other magnificent feats, but it was all dependant on one simple geometric object !
Now, as to the debate about lead pipes, etc, that is of no real consequence. Once the Aquaduct was attacked by the enemies of Rome, the lifeline to the city was cut off, and thus the population fled as they had no access to running water, which was the foundation that Rome was built on.
So, what must we do ?
We can stay in Rome, which we now know will have no running water as the Aquaducts can be sabotaged, or we can also take the knowledge we know, about the "Keystone", and its geometric relationships, and go and build our own Aquaduct, so that we can get all the running water we desire
At some stage in ones life one must make a decision, and that decision should be based on fact, not fiction.
When I speak about trading, I speak only about facts !
When you hear others, like the many Agent Smiths that keep popping up, speak about the intricate details within The M.A.T.R.I.X, they are doing this for one reason, and that is very similar to what the Roman Emperors done in the past, which we have already touched on.
Trading is a simple game of mathematical odds (gambling) - nothing more or nothing less.
However, knowing this, and taking money from the many Agent Smiths, is not one in the same. To operate in any gambling arena, one must be able to operate to the highest level of emotional control and logical thinking.
In order to attain this level, one needs to have a "Keystone", and the best "Keystone" of them all, is the Cube, but not the way in which Gann left behind and the way many others think !
Once we see a few people losing money on the YM, it should become clear, to a very small few, what is required in order to attain this "Keystone".

No, you have it all wrong, as usual !
This is my picture
At least you have a sense of humor BUT get to the point already.
This is why I don't buy many trading books anymore because most are 95% fluff.
btw, Rome never fell it's alive and kicking still it's just called the United States of America now.

Funny you should say that !

We must stick to the objective PB, and that is to trade the YM as mentioned with the 3 steps posted for each trader.
I was so busy with positions this morning that I could not post.
We shall start again, and this time we need to post as per the 3 steps, the post with the steps can be used to start the losing trade post.
Pity, as we had a brilliant opp this morning to lose some money !
Well, you can't win them all I suppose !
