What exactly is "Open Mind"?

[Redneck]

Why else would price rise or fall?

Orchestrated price improvement (shtf notwithstanding)


Once ya work though the noise - it amazing to sit and watch how price is fiddled with - yet the real intent in plain sight

==================

Aside

Small wonder aspiring traders - working from little more than a fear based perspective - have such a hard time breaking through this shit

Is this visible to you on price/volume charts alone, or is market depth / level 2 required?

I appreciate your forthrightness

Many would try and bullshit their way to an answer - which btw any trader with clear eyes can see straight through (for those of you thinking you can)




I trade price..., volume..., time - only

Using lines & MTFA

Nothing else..., nothing special


It's visible on the chart

Thanks, RN.

Not sure I'm able to distinguish between "natural" price movements and fiddles.

You ever see where price - just prior to a sizable move (for arguments sake lets say up)

Acts like its heading up..., but then stops..., and heads down..., then stops..., heads back up

And it could do this back and forth a few times before ultimately heading up

Longs are out - and scared

Shorts are in and hating life


And there goes price - on its merrily way - up



This is one form of fiddling

There are more... and some simply insidious in the amount of fucking with they can do to a trader - before price gets to where it needs to be

It amazing to watch

===============================
So let me focus on trading

Having an open mind…, is synonymous with being completely detached

Ultimately – its that no matter what happens in the mkt – one never filters / or shields their self – in any way – from that

And no matter what occurs – it evokes zero emotional response within us

It is simply data upon which we act…, or not – depending on the most prudent course for us at that tick / moment
================

Trade after trade…, day after day…, week over week…, year over year
=============

I am normally detached from reality when I am trading and half way away from trading.

"To be Open Minded" means to me that I will to best of my ability to take trades my Trading Plans calls for no matter if they look wrong, especially if they look illogically wrong. Hardest thing for me to do is to trade my own rules, you take months of back testing and forming rules, you have to be Open minded that they will work into the future as they behaved in the past, and baby that is so tough to do.

"To be Open Minded" to be able to take the real scary trades, yesterday I had signal to buy Silver, lost $900 per in 60 seconds, had another signal to buy Silver, lost $1,000 per in seconds/options helped, then within seconds another signal, am like a "deer in headlights feeling", I want to puke feeling, I hit buy market..........recouped all losses and sold puts.

"To be Open Minded", take all advise given, then test it out on your own so you can understand it in your own ways. You might think someone is a crackpot cause they are completely opposite of what most say, most are wrong though.

Okay, yes. I may have factored this in as normal price behaviour.

I said to myself early on, once price stops surprising me I'll be ready. Not sure if that will turn out to be true or not, and price still does surprise.

This statement isn't exactly profound, but also kind of is. It sums up the solo learning experience very well.

 

[Redneck]

Price can certainly do - what ever it wants..., any time it wants (obviously within reason - aka its current context)



Folks who deny the above - view PA as random

Folks who are familiar..., yet not quite fully accepting of the above - are sometimes surprised

Folks who live and breath the above - see the games

==================

Granted I've skipped over many variations from the denial to full acceptance - but you get the drift

Clearer the eyes - easier to see the intent... along with the games played to cover it up
