Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

Quote from Technician:

read first 10 pages.. was there anything at all useful said after 180...

If you CAN not find anything useful, then it is VERY OBVIOUS that you have a long way to go.
 
Quote from rew:

The "edge" is a reliable system for making trades that have a positive expectation. If you believe in the efficient market hypothesis that shouldn't even be possible. But to be a successful trader you absolutely must have an edge; money management issues are important but secondary.

VG point RW:)

Money management is a pre-requisite to making GOOD money, but it WILL NOT in itself make you GOOD money, in fact, with the best money management approach in the world, if you don't know what needs to be done, then, it will only be a matter of time before you lose all of your money, like most do:eek:

Quote from mindtrade:

I have read this thread three times probably. Still no idea what the "obvious" is... I don't think there is an obvious as there is just too many factors but I also know I don't know much about anything, so I could be very wrong :)

I also read most of NYSE's posts and he made a few good predictions that panned out almost perfect.

BEWARE the SOOTH SAYERS:D

Here are some facts.

The more you trade, the better you SHOULD be getting, if not then you must STOP immediately and KNOW why YOU are losing so much trades:eek:

It is VERY OBVIOUS, that the better YOU get, the more trades YOU will get right, but, YOU must fully understand and ACCEPT, that, every trade is a loser, no matter what YOU might think.

Pattern recognition will work at times, in the same way that most people find themselves doing the same thing over and over.

This is called Habitual Activity, or HA for short.

However, this in no way implies that previous patterns will be repeated at ANY time, and, as most spend most of their time trying to predict what might or might not happen, then, is it not OBVIOUS what might ACTUALLY happen:confused:

I will not insult all of your intelligence, for, of course YOU must have an edge that will allow you do what others are not doing, but, to develop that edge YOU must first understand and practice some very BASIC concepts, for, without same, the OBVIOUS will never be known.

The key point that is emphasized in this thread is that the normal path of most traders' education and learning, reading books, using commonly accepted logic, trading techniques, tools, etc are wrong. You have to be keenly aware of that fact and counter act on it to be profitable persistently.:D
 
Quote from The Expert:

Well said JO:)

To clarify, NY, TG, MrC and now TE, are all students of one who will probably never post on any site.

Many here think that NY=TG=MrC=TE, but most think incorrectly:D

NY is a very good trader, TG is nearly as good, Mr C still has some problems that he is currently addressing, and TE, well, the name speaks for itself:cool:

As for the remaining trader, well, lets just say that he knows MUCH more than the other 4 all put together:eek:

I have been asked to re-start this thread, so that I will now do, as it is very important in relation to making GOOD money when trading.

So, let us try to solve the riddle of trading profits again, for life is full of riddles, and solving them is what produces results:)

1. What is the main theme in all of the posts by TFF group

2. Why is it necessary to fully understand the theme

3. Why do so many fail in understanding the theme

4. What can one do to help them understand the theme

5. How will one know when they really understand the theme

TE

What is the TFF group? Trading For Fun?

:)

Brilliant RN:D

I like these 2 the best:cool:





I think it is time for some serious trading material, but , I also have a feeling that anything of real value will be in pdf format, and not every Tom, Dick or Harry will be able to guess the passwords :D

Many think that 2%-5% per day is not realistic, well, lets just say that many are, as usual, wrong :cool:

TE of TFF:D

ONE of the KEY points is that the majority do not know how to use their brain CORRECTLY, and, the main reason WHY, is, because, they have been TAUGHT by so-called TEACHERS who know absolutely nothing about...

How To Teach Correctly

I am considering starting a new thread called..

The "F" Word - How to Dramatically Improve Your Trading

Now, this will be very controversial, and might be even moved to chit chat, or wherever, but you might be surprised at the results, for, if you have seen Hell's Kitchen, you will know that the s.h.i.t head Ramsey is one Mother Fuker:D

I think you NOW know the theme of the new thread:)
