Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

Easier said than done!

The obvious is simple, and it is because it is so simple that 99.999% do not even stop to try and work it out.

I am not being silly or wasting peoples' time here- just stating what I know to be a fact.

There are a handful of traders on ET that know what the obvious is, but they will not say it as they want to keep the so called "edge".

I am giving some traders the chance to try and discover something that will change how they trade, and also enable them to make some good money!

It is up to each individual if they want to try and work it out, or not!

my answer is still the best answer.

Edge and capital. For those who said capital obvious - think of it as sufficient capital to make sure you stay in the game if your edge goes away and you need to find a new one.

This is not the answer that I would give!
 
one obvious is that timing is important. With this volatitility you can be long or short and still "be right" at some point during the day. The way to make money is hitting your target before your stop.

Is anyone on the right track to "the obvious" ?

Do you successful traders know "the obvious" or is nysestock playing mind games? :P

At the risk of sounding like an ass - yes some do

I predict that most will discount it once it is reveled - which is a shame in itself

I think it has something to do that most traders assume they know something - so by approaching a trade with a clean slate, you have a leg up on everybody else. At least that's what I deduced from the comments.

You sounding like an ass would be quite a leap; one of the nicest guys on here.

Maybe I am getting off-base here but:
I do feel there is an obvious many people, including myself, are missing. I never believed that successful traders have better software or some high-tech indicator. I feel it must be a phsycological edge or profitable exploit. Maybe it is revealed everyday and maybe we are unable to see it.

soon.

No!

Not one person has come near.

This is not a wind up. If someone gets it then I will not lie and I will say it is right!

So the next obvious question I would ask is what answer would you give?

If I gave the answer you would not believe me!

If someone else gets the answer then you might see that I speak the truth!

As I mentioned previously, a few will indeed know it, but will not say it as they think it will affect their so called "edge"!
