Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

Is it a stretch to say you are working backwards in figuring your trading out? Start with what the ideal trade should look like and the see what leads to that trade?

Example - if the beat trades in your plan are trend days that jump quickly out of the gates, then start from the top and work down a to when those days usually happen?

Yes, working backwards is smart. Isolating only those conditions under which you outperform is smart. Like I mentioned, this isn't THE answer. But it is A answer (one way to skin a cat). What we're talking about is filters. When to take trades, when to stay out. The grail that TE, TO, and Scooby are referring to is an "always in" strategy. Or in 95%+ of the time.

The Salman Khan video, at several points, tells you what he does not know as well. His stumbling block is the same as those already mentioned.

The stumbling block is NOT involved with trade management which happens to be a myth as you are NOT going to find out.

The stumbling bock is that none of you know how to build a fully differentiated mind, and, therefore, none of you have fully differentiated minds for trading to take the full offer of the market.

Here is the simply way to understand that your minds are NOT differentiated. A preliminary is that you just do not know anything about which I am speaking. The more serious comment on this was told to you by Khan @ 13:20 or thereabouts when he mentioned the "swiss cheese gaps" people have presently in their knowledge of maths.

Being fully differentiated means for every ,oment of the market you have a one and only one relationship of what you sense (eyes and sound, etc..) and a specific one and only one specific "inference" coming to mind at that specific moment.

LOL.... there are NO..... mist opportunities ..... LOL

mist is the humourly twisting of missed to take the place of "lost."

You have only one job....... biuld you mind with all the inferences required toto have it fully differentiated for always making the one on one match automatically. this is a match of sensing and inference to always have PERCEPTION.

I have spoken and you will not do what is required of you and it has already beem explained to you here and elsewhere.

walk safely across the slippery ice.

I am not telling you:

Don't fall down on the ice......

See? No perceive the markets. you just cannot percieve the markets.

Learn to get the inference you need as long term memory to be able to perceive the markets.

You all need to shut up and begin the work process.

Quote from The Oracle:

B93..there is ONE thing that matters above all else when learning how to trade..and that is..u must quickly learn to distinguish between those who know what they are talking about..and those who do not

many spend years going round in circles..listening and following idiots and fools..those who speak of fibs and gann levels..pitchforks and other such mumbo jumbo..hell..some even bring the stars in the heavens into it:D

if u are to buy ONE thing to put in your bedroom, kitchen, study, garage..wherever the fuk u trade..then make sure it is a big MIRROR:)

every day before u start gambling..stand in front of the mirror..and say to the fool in front of u

"now..u dumb ass trader..are u going to make some good money today..or fukin give it away"

never be afraid to kick urself in the ass..for it will do u the world of good:D

also..it is not YOUR money until u have it in the BANK:D

we now have some posters that can help others if they ask the right questions..RN..SO and A28

hell, if we are not careful..TFF will be no more:D

funny thing is..u all know as much about trading as the rest of us..u just haven't sorted out the head bit yet:D

99.99% REMEMBER:)

The kicking self on arse exercise i have developed quite well, thank you.
 
Quote from The Oracle:

of course it would but everyone knows that anything worthwhile is not shared, well not easily anyway. after many years of trading the penny will suddenly drop and you will then see exactly what others thought they knew

there is an old saying that goes something like this

"great minds think alike but fools seldom differ"

any person reading this post has the ability to make money trading each and every day. what will determine if they make it will be a combination of several things, some more important than others

we now have a new word to ponder, and it begins with a p

TO,

I hope there is no due date for your quizz??

Is it PREPARATION??

It must be an awesome feeling being finaly able to succeed in the market in a consistent way, though i'll be trying my hardest to beat you at this game, my hat's off to you.

I found it a truly odd sensation. I had been fighting the market and myself for quite a while. When it finally began to click I was quite troubled and used to sit at my desk thinking 'That can't be it. It's too simple.' I imagine it was akin in some miniscule way to what Einstein must have felt when he discovered that the mind bending concept of mass-energy equivalence could be boiled down to simply E=mc².

The answers are hidden in plain sight. You just have to ask yourself the right questions to find them. I am not being a sanctimonious twat here. I genuinely believe that working the answers out for yourself will help you accept them as truth and hence trade them profitably.

These days I find that I struggle to get my head around the fact that not everybody can see what is now obvious to me. It is like Edgar Rubin's famous vase/face optical illusion. When you first look at it you can see only a vase. Once you see the faces then you wonder why you couldn't see them before.
