After the race, when Bikila was asked why he had run barefoot, he replied, âI wanted the world to know that my country, Ethiopia, has always won with determination and heroism."

i dont post a lot in this thread but i do read it constantly. something that i wont go into too much detail about is that this thread actually is similar to the market. TO is the initiator of lots of response like big money hitting the market. Once he posts, from there everyone jumps in and goes back and forth and around and around talking about things that are not relevant to his post. I do it myself a bit so I am not pointing. We are all trying to find our way in our thought process. Then when the thread goes too far off track TO will add something and off we go again and take the thread into areas with no value. I think we would get the most of what he and a couple others have to offer if we really put work into what he has written and then offer that up prior to his next post. Right now, the market noise (us), is what keeps us in this range.
On a side note, I have reread this thread many times and I keep seeing different things that connect more and more dots. I would recommend reading it over and over as there is more in these messages than face value.

The trend for SLB was down for several days.
Today there was a gap down, and rapid fall and then rise back up.
I figured that after the fall back to the open price after 2pm a long trade was worth a try.
It was working OK for a while but failed at the rapid fall back to the open price and was stopped out near the red arrow.
I quit for the day at that point and missed the large move up.
I've no idea what caused that as there were no announcements that I was aware of.

In the spirit of not busing on anyone.., but being very forthright
Nothing in your post even remotely resembles what a trader would think, or do
=======================================
You figured you would try a long
I have no idea what caused that as there were no announcements that I was aware of
Btw I could care less if you won or lostâ¦
How you got there (your thinking process) is what I have issues with
========================================================================================
Next time you post a trade
Use a small box, or similar
Define your stop
Define your target
Whether you went long or short
And most importantly - Explain your entry reasoning⦠BUT⦠You must use the very same words, and language â price uses
Post the outcome
And I could give two hoots in hell whether it is a winner, or a loser
Omit the following when you post next;
What you think
What you figured
How you felt
What you had for breakfast
And everything else for that matter
None of it matters
Please

One year and a half ago, a person I consider a friend and who is actively participating in this thread from time to time and is well respected, gave me some simple answers. It really helped me to evolve and advance to the next level as a trader. I'm very grateful him for that. Does it mean I'm not going to fail again? - No. But the odds of success now are significantly better!
