I apologize. Let me see if I can make it clearer. Of course if you are trying to instigate a pissing contest I will guarantee I can more than keep up, though I prefer not to trash impaired opponents.
Trading any Market where "Time" is the prime decision making ingredient is the same as trading with an "arbitrary" decision making process because the Markets do not react to "time".
The primary & secondary definitions of arbitrary are: "depending on individual discretion and not fixed by law" & " based on or determined by individual preference or convenience rather than by necessity or the intrinsic nature of something".
The Markets react to a variety of stimuli but time isn't one of them. Of course, if you can prove to me that a share of stock, a futures contract can "Think" or the majority of traders worldwide set their clocks by their trading decisions . . . then I will become a believer.
That being said, common sense then dictates that trading arbitrarily will give you arbitrary results. Don't need to be Einstein to figure that one out. Shear deductive reasoning then relinquishes to the fact that trading decisions based primarily on time WILL result with inconsistent results, aka profits.
I doubt anyone here will disagree with the common sense of that.
