Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

[Vindago]

GO, yes the first one is a selection point as you need to decide if the instrument has opportunity and it is worth sticking with it until the right time (second decision point) come to act. so for the first one you may decide to move on to another instrument for instance if you are in a risky swing area or to stick if you see that price is likely to keep moving in one direction (so that you may trade with same swing and day trend direction). at least this is what I came up with...

Thank you, it is interesting indeed.


You have patience but maybe you need a bit more persistence ^^
There is one pdf protected file from nysestocks, I tried hundreds of time over the past two years to open it, but finally got it.
I am sure that if you take some time to reread the few pages before the 500th post with the file, you will find it.

But as I found the book suggested by geraldo interesting, which is thanks to your post, let me give you two hints : the password is a word made of seven letters (no caps). You have to be in it to do well at trading (aka gambling).

Hmmmm,

Ok 030985, I will have a look and see if I can get closer.

Anything that shortens 1.2 million years is worth a look!

Trading is gambling.

When you gamble you must accept the fact that you can, and more than likely will, lose!

Definitions and terms are meaningless - actions and resulting outcomes are what matters most.

If you want an answer as to when you should "risk" more money than you would normally do so, it should be very "obvious" that the answer is when your chances of losing are far less than normal.

How you determine this, will be in direct proportion to how you think, and how you view, the market you are trading.

Sh*ite, if I am not careful I will start thinking that I might know something, and that is a very dangerous thing to do

I used to read a lot of the rubbish published about "trading", but now I prefer to see what transpires in the "real" world of gambling, and paying a little visit to the casino, every now and again - not too often mind you - can help one get their head out of their arse and see what the "reality" of gambling entails:eek:

Not sure if this helps, but that is what has come out of my head, like it or lump it - but again, the reality is that it really does not matter for me, as I am what I am, and, you should be what you are, not to try and be someone else - not suggesting you are of course

030985,

You said a few posts before 500, and I found the above post.

I can now tell you the password is not "rubbish".

I wonder how many people got this silly password

Thanks 030985 with your hints I finally got the password in 30 sec, funny is it is so obvious once you get it...hahaha

Doooooohhhhhhhh.

I don't want anyone to tell me, as I will get it myself, and once I get it I will tell everyone.

I saw the password protected PDF a few months back so I already know the password.
There's nothing to see, though.
Shall I just post it here?

No, please don't PK, for I WILL get it, and I will post in then.

Obvious I cracked the password

Maybe this helps understanding the password pdf file in another context:

1 Preparation
2 Data
3 Decision Control Transfer Y/N
4 Terminator
5 Decision
6 Predefined Process
7 Manual Operation




Interesting to see that the same symbol is used for the N and the R, but the leaving arrow follows another path/direction.

GO

Thanks GO, at least I now know 2 of the letters, just have to work out where they go and what the other 5 are

J_Smith if you just read the thread and what NY says you will get it as he mentioned it several times...

Ok VO, but I am a little bit slow and like to work out things for myself, that way I tend to remember them when the need arises.

7 letters and 2 of them n and r.

No hints please, I will get it myself.

n
o
t
r
e
a

What is interesting is WHY?.....the loop back from the 3rd to the 2nd?.....there is a reason for that.
and WHY?.....the link from 3rd to 4th is different from the rest?

Awareness is being tested here isn't it?
