Hi Jack,
That is so true, but why do we always fight to complicate that process?

I believe it is beause of how we relate to money. I do work very hard to communicate about "process", but I notice there is the continuing influence of fear in the moment.
To realize your potential, you have to climb higher. The notion of supression and all the other pictures you saw in this thread are not antidotes. They are just holding patterns for failure.
Lately, we have emerged into a new place where people do not connect money and their fears to the intellectual process of climbing higher.
It is the elegance of realizing that the only thing that stops the continuation of profits are "blockers" or as I call them "flaws" relative to continuation. As in the natural laws of physics, things continue until affected by something.
Once a person has a good set of signals for these flaws, they go to a kiss operation. It is a monitoring setting where so many things can be going on and they are continually digested as "okay". This is the opposite of Scientist's stuff. The only focus is on "flaws" as an advent. Once you turn over the flaw card, you act accordingly. For experts, the action is two fold usually: the relaxing overature of taking profits and the secondary action of beginning the creation of another stream of profits.
It is like two worlds. going with the flow continually (shering jobs with the market) or setting up continual fights with the market to beat it being controlling and supressing your feelings to engender personal discipline.
It is hard to imagine any strategy like set ups or edges or aquiring and using a vast set of elements designed to handle a collection of individual situations. I can see why this leads to "fighting". Each time a person thus usurps a job the market must do, then there is a fight. All fights end in people going out on stops. We know the market doesn't lose.
It is so repugnant to consider not using the market's roles and help. Lack of intellect and reason gets a person to a control orientation to "win and beat".
Half the posts here were "control" posts that ,as you say "started the fight". Fading your control is not a money making strategy.
The market's modus is "continuation" or "change". In the first, the market takes you in and out. In the second, the market periodically gives you profits and sets your path for the next set of profits.
In the ESmini the flow was serene and seamless lately: Monday contained seven trades and 26 points (four 5's and three 2's.); Tuesday was similar with alternating short, reversal to long and reversal to short (10, 10, and 8 for 28 points.)
What was being suppressed anyway; where was there a fight needed? Patience often is called for. We need patience because making money is slow each day; 26 to 28 points on only 5 contracts is only a 1,000 bucks an hour. 13,000 for two days.
The fighters and suppressors tell us they have drawdowns in the hundreds on a given day. They go out on stops as I understand it. Be a peacenik instead of a suppressor.
