Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

Quand je regarde le prix
dois-j'apprendre de l'homme qui a étudié le riz?

когда я смотрю на цену я должен учиться у человека, который изучал риса

How can it be,
something I see,
just came to me,
looked at the green,
what had I not seen?
 
Quote from The Oracle:

MN..i am going to give you another bollixin..as you seem to need it!

forget about all the shite!!!!!

you have access to live charts with a CFD account..do you not?

this is all you need..you can have volume showing at the bottom if you like but you do not need it..as most of it is meaningless and does not have any effect on the outcome if you stick to your plan

the $TICK is useful..that i will agree with..but again only at certain TIMES

take 1 stock..forget the rest..make sure it has an ADR of at least 50 cent and trades at least 2+ mil shares per day..trade the stock until you SEE what is actually happening..and WHEN

if you can master this for 1 stock..then bob's your uncle


and..remember..if your aunt had balls she would be your uncle :D

I can't just use my broker's charts for trading as they are not adequate.

The CFD account I have is with CMC Markets and I use their MarketMaker platform. I've never found it easy to flip between different time frames as lines drawn on one time frame are not displayed on others. I use it for displaying 5 min charts only, and also for order execution. Usually I have 4 charts for different stocks on one screen. The reason for starting with CMC is because there is no minimum commission. It looks like the days of MarketMaker are numbered, at least according to Peter Cruddas the executive Chairman of CMC who has a thread on the T2W site. He has been promoting the next generation Tracker CFD platform provided by CMC. I've tried the demo of that platform but don't like it at all. It seems to have been developed with users of smartphones and ipads as a priority, so its for mugs it seems to me. Last time I tried it multiple charts couldn't be used without them overlapping.

I've been using FreeStockCharts to view whats happening on different time frames and to plan what I do. The problem there is the adverts which cause lags sometimes.

Also neither CMC or FreeStockCharts provide real time data for various indices such as $TICK or NYSE composite.

So I wanted to find another charting package to compliment my broker charts, that can be viewed over multiple time frames easily.

ProRealTime is good but I've found customer support to be very bad as they don't respond to emails. My data feed for NYSE indices has stopped since 31st August although the feed for NYSE stocks and the S&P500 index has continued. Of the NYSE indices its just the NYSE composite index that I'm interested in although several others should be included in the data feed. After not getting a response to emails a phone call to their number in France about this resulted in a promise to call me back or send me an email, but neither has happened. I payed for just 3 months service, so if they don't sort this out I'll not continue to subscribe. Its a pity as the charts are nice and clear.

As I had heard a lot about eSignal I decided to try their LiveCharts as it was cheap. Having tried it I wasn't impressed so my subscripition has already been cancelled, but I still have access until the end of this month. The problem with LiveCharts was that I could only open duplicate windows of a chart on the same time frame, which is pointless. I couldn't see how to have multiple windows open for several stocks or for one stock over more than one time frame.
 
See some of the path,
must review the math,
looked for most volatile,
brought up touch of the bile,
the site is the black box,
to follow would be to lose the sox,
they post the sox,
they know the box,
to them the box is clear,
to most the box is black,
they know to endear,
and reduce the fear,
they say it is so clear,
then follow like a deer,
the path is strewn with corn,
hide out of sight,
too late the warning is born,
hunter's plan so easy and so right.
 
Poetry break.
Software IS something I learn fast.
I'm searching through the platforms for
the last few days.
I watched the pro real video,
and it has a very nice feel to it.
Can't compare the Pro to
what I am using now, which
doesn't matter, because I have no
bells or whistles in there except
for the volume anymore, and this week
I will be dispensing with that to see
if I understand what I see.
I see alot more, and I have been reading
so much Logic that a lot is becoming too clear.
Maybe ignorance is bliss?
 
What an incredible long and boring thread with no substance.

I'll end this trend.

The obvious is easy.

It's recognizing that it's all about the entries.

Understanding and identifying the areas that provide an extreme high probability of reaction, not directional prediction, with minimal or no heat so you can load up and exploit them with as much leverage as possible time after time.

The exits are easy, you take what the market is willing to give you and then you move on to the next trade. Why ? Because the market is only predictable up to a certain point, some reaction, past that it's the next key area, and the cycle begins again.

Throw some required patience and you got the obvious.

Do you really think this is the answer to the original post, or just your perception of what you think is obvious.

One way to keep a secret is to leave it in plain sight (or shite according to TE/TO) and to mention it frequently, like the slight of hand of a magician that distracts attention, so that others don't even think of it as a possibility.

So try again.

BTW, there is nothing secret about the obvious.

One thing is for sure, there is no secret code written in charts akin to a masonic symbol that only those in the know can recognise. Success is just a case of following simple principles.
