Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

Quote from xburbx:

So this will sound dumb but how do you start to rework or unlearn what you have learned and then change the way you think?

I'll take a start at it. This is how we think now or are taught to think. We are given a topic in an educational setting, preached to and told to read books. Then sometimes application homework is given. That is supposed to train people for the real world. I haven't been in school for a good bit of years but I do know that 90 percent of what is learned in school is never used again.

How this is applied to markets for most people is they look for their teacher , ask for external tools and attempt to apply what they have learned to their trading. If this isn't correct how does someone build on a trading strategy even if they just take pieces of things they have learned from many places and try to make it their own?

in some GOOD schools they teach SQ3R correctly

the most important one is the Q

read Montaigne's letter on education of children..use SQ3R..and then u will see exactly why no one would listen to Montaigne..for..why would the few want the majority to learn CORRECTLY..for if they done that their positions would be in jepordardy

we can learn a lot from History..in the same way we can learn a lot from an Historical chart..but we must understand what the chart is telling us..in the same way we must understand what History is telling us..and for the majority..they will never understand..as that is how they have been taught

a wise man learns from the mistakes of others, a fool learns from his own mistakes.....REMEMBER

it is easy when u have read and understood..few read..and of the few that do..fewer understand

Talking into the computer screen helps me to subdue the mind chatter. Again, this is not speaking my thoughts out loud but trying to describe the action unfolding in front of my eyes.

TO,

I'm obviously blind now. Where to look?

What helped me a bit is that I started to practice "active listening" of the price talk instead of thinking as it does its talking. I also started to talk back, to "verbalize" the action to get in sync.

u must LOOK into the words and think about what they mean..in context

the words can have different meaning..depending on the context

so..the first..and most important thing..is to get the context right..common sense is it not!

sometimes it is better to curse at the fukin thing

" us stupid fukin idiot u..why the fuk did u enter there when u knew the price had run up so much in a short time..what kind of a dumb ass fukin twit are u..not get the fuk out and stop acting the bollox and wasting that hard earned money"

after a while...

"well done u clever little bastard..that's the way to take the easy money of the dumb ass traders..let them all fuk around and think they are all experts..u will just wait and do what needs to be done..when it is needed to be done"

the context is different..u can still curse..but ur actions are different..and it is ur actions that will determine what u get..not what u say..so..learn how to think CORRECTLY and you will then learn how to ACT CORRECTLY

Yes. Just like the title and first post in this entire thread. I have been trying to figure that context for some time now. As RN had shown, context is important but I think most (I know I do) struggle with the correct context in the market and exactly what that actually means.

TO, reading these lines I have just experienced Deja Vu.

We definitely need to talk more about this with chart examples.

What I'm suffering so far, it seems, is that the current context just like a particular word can also have a different meaning depending on a larger context but they are rarely in sync.

TO, sounds like a lullaby and I'll have to sleep on it. Thank you for the session. G'night.
