Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

I have looked at the OEC and Ninjatrader so far.
Pretty cumbersome. I like the simplicity of
the ATP, but it would be nice if the price changes would
be in a streaming format where you can see second by second
how the prices move and then HOW the candlestick forms.
I'm watching the forex real time charting and playing the forex on the
cnbc game, with candlestick charts,it's enlightening.
I have made some goofs, because I entered the wrong orders,
since the pairs trade together, and I wanted to go short but forgot
to check the sell box. Dumb mistakes.
So the accounts down but I have been more careful.
Also have not figured the limit and stops yet, but
I'm practicing for now.
Not that I want to do forex but it is a good learning tool.

Oh, the ATP crashes a lot, that's not funny !

One thing, if you keep reading this thread is you start to expand your mind into reading some interesting things.
Mignon's are quite nice. Thanks for posting.

I did find an obvious recently.
Simple and obvious. I tried to see if it had
been queried in Google and didn't get any results.

all u need to make money trading is one simple way to place low risk trades with a high % chance of winning..even a child can do it when shown the steps..but try and explain the steps to an adult and it becomes next to impossible

therein lies the answer to understanding what needs to be done..few will take it on and make sure it happens..most will continue to look towards others to tell them what they must do

who are the real children..and who are the real adults:D

A few obvious lines, and I left some out. Big gap down too.

What is the Obvious? Is the Obvious related to Chart?

for some yes..for others no..as no 2 people will look at a chart and see the same thing!

if u are in the yes camp..the the chart/s must be your ultimate trading aid..and u must make sure that they make u money..and not lose u money

there are many books in relation to charts..one is better than the other..and so on and so forth

the best chart to use..is the one that makes you money..and that is very easy to know:)

is it not funny how there are so many experts on so many topics when it comes to trading..has it ever occurred to you that maybe..just maybe..it really does not matter..as..

what will be..will be
who am i..but a boy
all i see..is what it be
care i not..what others tot

Yes, of course.
Didn't know this before,
but know it now.
What I mentioned before,
with looking at the Forex
streaming quote, has helped fill in
the price movement, to understand the mechanics of
how the candlestick forms.
It's helped a lot.
I like the ATP, I understand you don't need the
fancy charting. I don't have any of the indicators on there, and lately I don't even bother to put the volume on there either.
Only one thing I would like and that is to have the
ATP do the streaming, like this:http://www.forex-markets.com/charts.htm
It will be active when the Forex opens.

And, the obvious I found I ignored.
And it cost me a good lesson. Position is ok for,
now, but seeing the loss, that I could have avoided if I had been looking at the obvious would have given me a better entry.
