eventually that is what happens.
but ten pips movement up and down cannot be because the fundamentals have changed.

Agreed.

i am close to reaching where i wanted to be in my trading when i started 12 years ago......i can see my destination.. i only hope it is not a mirage...... as it has been countless times before

 

[padutrader]

Agreed.

what ever it is stick to one line of thinking.....at least until you understand everything there is about it.
then you check other ways of thinking and believe me there are thousands.
that is why there is always a buyer or seller at any rate.......

the first thing you have to is to decide, in what time frame,you are going to be doing your stuff in.

3-5 years like Soros or 10-20 years like Buffet or 10-20 minutes like Al Brooks and there are quite a few in between .

I would like most to be done in under a week. I would do 10-20 minutes if that would work. I'm open-minded to a lot. I just want it long enough so I know the trend lines mean something.

Help understanding CARB trading flat with huge volume. Holding March 20 puts and hoping for merger bust.

also decide your goal your destination.i wanted to make 20 times in day but i was quite prepared to work for it.
decide how much work you are willing to do and then decide the destination or goal and then get on it

maybe you use an hourly time frame
there are some accomplished traders in this forum maybe someone will give you an idea.
but the learning curve is steep.

 

[padutrader]

remember there are somethings that cannot be taught,they have to be learned.trading is one of them.
there are no short cuts
Best of luck

There are people here who will tell you that TA is useless, and that FA is the way to go. (Me, kinda', in swing trading). There are people here who will tell you that FA does not matter, and intraday price action is all that matters. Trade what you see.

There are people here who will tell you to ignore everything you read here, because you are the only person who will find what works for you, whether it is PA, TA, or FA-based.

And you know what? They are all correct. You have to find what works for YOU. Peeps here can be a guide, but not a guidepost. You must find your own way.

Once you find your way, you will be good-to-go.

Well said @Overnight . Most of the time the devil is in the details.
