Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

[odlareg]

No.

Oh dear; more confusion...

Then again:

OA, it does not matter. Any TF will do to create the statistics. It is the statistics that give you an edge to start with... not any lines. However I think lines at certain levels can improve your overall results. I do not use them.

So people create their own method/style, based on the Obvious...

OA,

I use kind of ...... a mentally line..... You need a base to start from.

Statistics are after the fact. They show you what is achievable. Nevertheless usefull.

"There is a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path"

So, the obvious pre-requisite is the path.

No, it is the difference between "knowing" and "walking". Very obvious.

The OP said "all a trader has to do to make money in any market is BLASH or SHABL"

The obvious pre-requisite, therefore, is knowing how to do this correctly?

It sounds like you're waiting for the right place and moment to enter
and then calculate a target?

M3, what would you consider real history? What other works do you think would help one understand 'facts' relative to one's understanding of a life worth living?

What is it that calibrates one's way of thinking 'correctly?'

a loaded question..and i think it really depends on a lot of things..which include your upbringing..education..location..and what your social background is..pleb..professional..high society

religion tends to play a major impact for the first two..not so much for the third..hmmmm!

real history..well..the first has to be wars..the explosive changes that they bring about..and the massive amount of injustice and suffering caused to..mostly..the plebs!

then we have religion..again..very similar to the wars..in that a massive amount of injustice and suffering..again..mostly the plebs..but all done in the name of a "good cause"!

i think that once one has a real good understanding of what exactly happened..why it happened..and..why the plebs are always the ones that lose out most..then..it all becomes as clear as day..no need to wish..hope..and pray..any more !!!

well, I am not Ion - neither implied to be it. This is just all my guessing right or wrong - absolutley up to me. No intention to tell anybody anything, just my attempt to solve ryhmes and riddles, and taking that inspiration as an input. I deem myself smart enough to recognise men wiser than me. Why would I ever challenge Socrates?

Yes, there are biases, round numbers, fibs, overconfidence, confirmation bias and the list goes on. Some of them could become a self fullfilling prophecy - or not. The art lies in stripping all this away and/or recognizing were it happens and taking advantage out if it. One poster told me in a private thread: Trading is more like an art. Other posters in this thread said it numerous times: you have to do it learn it.

"Love is blind": Converging evidence suggests that our perceptions of romantic partners are often not based on objective reality, but are rather positive illusions.

"a standing pr**k has no conscience" is more like it

never underestimate the basic instincts..in fact..many have lost their lives because of same

however..history has shown that no matter what happens..be it natural or man made destructive forces..there is an evolutionary step that still exists today..exactly as it happened many eons ago..so..even if all life on earth is destroyed..the back up will not..and the whole thing will just start over again

the only thing that will really end the world..as we know it..is when the Sun fizzles out..and we don't have to worry about that in our lifetine

What if the obvious pre-requisite was "experience?"

Only saying that because it does seem like it could be something obvious... and is something if said, most people would just say, 'Oh, ok.'

that is debatable..as..if the majority of experiences are bad..then..we all know the answer there

i think experience in itself is what comes from the application of knowledge..most learn..then apply..then can claim to be "qualified"..or.. experienced enough so that they can demand extra payment for the services offered

so..the main point here..i think..is..what exactly was the "knowledge" that was acquired that led to the experiences!

we all heard about "garbage in..garbage out"!

and..we must never forget about 1598..or..for some 1575

 

[M4-1]

I'm curious...was there ever any proof or suggestion that the riddle-makers in this thread actually knew the answers themselves?

I think I read through the first 200-300 pages of this thread a few years back and I did find it interesting. I also noticed that there were a few posters who claimed that they now 'got it', but shortly after apparently didn't get it after all.

yes..my last session of trades were roughly (without checking) around 15 winning trades in a row..they varied from about less than 1 minute to several days..possibly 7 or 8 days..i have not traded for several months now as i have some very important personal things that need my attention..i only trade when it suits me..my only interest in trading is to keep the money i make !
