Trading Blind

[TRS]

Apologies Hypostomus for not comprehending your situation.
Could you please elaborate on immutability.

My current thinking is audibles operating on immutable elements of the daily landscape.

Yeah, not getting those two NQ ticks a week would be serious. Seriously tho, my eyes are getting worse fast enough to worry me a bit, too. I think someone used to floor trading or trading quotes only could make the transition. Mark Fisher's method, for example could be traded with quotes only, imo. If you are dependent on charts, as I am, it might be tough.

p.s. My momma told me doing that too much would make me go blind. I shoulda listened.

TRS, I was referring to simple shit like tests of the HOD/LOD, retrace to the open, test of previous day's OHLC, etc.

Thanks, BB. But in your case I think eyestrain comes from trying to see things that aren't there (a la SCT)!

 

[Bearbelly]

I would have thought your memory was much better than that or is that going too? I have never said I was trading sct or even trying to. Sorry if the 2 ticks jab got under your skin.

 

[hypostomus]

Memory is the third thing to go. You're not Jacking? Then why have I been ragging on your ass for months? I thought you posted on my man Spydertrader's thread?

 

[Bearbelly]

I really dont care to stay glued to the computer and monitor bar by bar. I use the most rudimentary part of the method, channels and volume and sit back and wait for the point threes. This is sufficient for me. I am certain that sct is doable for certain types as Spydertrader is doing it. There are a lot of liars on this board but Spyder is not one of them. The jerkoffs here who trash him wouldnt make a pimple on a real traders butt.

 

[hypostomus]

Agreed. Spydertrader is the real deal. I dutifully draw my channels, too, but in ways Jack doesn't accept.

Anybody else here concerned about failing vision and figuring out how to continue trading after the onset of blindness? Other than training a monkey to trade for you?

Judging by many of the posts in many of the threads here at ET, I was under the impression that a lot of people here were already trading blind.

 

[hypostomus]

I'll be your straight man if you'll be my trading monkey.

That just might work, since I recently ordered an 8-CD inspirational self-help motivation program entitled "Monkey SEE, Monkey BE-DO-HAVE." (Jack narrates.) We could go far. Bring a map.
