Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

when henry the 8th ordered thomas moore to be put the death..for heresy..even though he was the "heresy hunter"..he was to be tortured..then castrated..the his guts removed and burned in front of him..and finally..have his head cut off!

sounds like a horror movie does it not..but that is the way it was in the 1500's..

in the end..seeing as thomas moore had been henry's right hand man..he allowed him to just have his head cut off..which was then boiled until it was black..and stuck up on london bridge for all to see!

so henry wasn't that bad after all :)

he sure as hell was one ugly bastard..dressed like a woman..and cut off his wifes heads if they couldn't give him an heir :)

what has this got to do with making some money..well..a lot actually..but if you don't understand why..then you still have a long way to go !

Yes, but what if your strategy wins, say, 80% of the time?

That said I truly don't trust options as a speculative instrument, binary or otherwise, the payoff probably favors the "house".

I could be wrong, just my opinion folks.

nahh..rubbish..there is easy money to be had for those who can "walk the path"..

the "big difference" of course will never be overcome for most..why..simple..wrong use of "the grey cells" :)

Oh please, there is no such thing as "easy" money, especially in trading.

Trading is not "easy", in fact it is the most difficult and stressful job on earth.

If trading was easy, why would anyone work as a waiter, a plumber, or a taxi driver? Why wouldn't everyone do this?

Come on.

I can swing either way.

Looking at the world, or at least the US taday, the "anyone" are enabled through government incentives to pursue other sources of income, AND THEY ARE. The anyone have earnings. The uber-wealthy have cap gains. Or so the anyone think.

Inside the "anyone" also exists old dogs who for whatever reason, whether opinion/belief or fact, firsthand experience, or respected but unproved family tales CHOOSE to stay away.

Trading IS easy... it is personal mental baggage, about trading, money, life, deserving, contributing, etc etc etc, that makes it a difficult choice for some. So be it. I'll continue to be and do me.

Be, do, have.

You have indeed provided insights and sufficient explanations for how to trade the MES.

In fact you have given something not asked for, because many who visit this thread are fixated on finding the holy grail 'obvious' and seek certainty of knowing. Discarding the habits and baggage acquired in that long quest is just too difficult for some.

The approach should be clear by now, as a potential means of making money, which is what everyone wants surely.

If price is observed long enough certain features are eventially recognised as being significant to have an eye for, especially near significant levels and at events during the day.

Of course, anyone who chooses to try will have to deal with their own mental demons of facing uncertainty and discipline dealing with losses and when to take profit, gradually refining their technique over some time.

simple..they are unable to make proper use of "the grey cells" :)

if you think trading is hard..then it will be hard..that is obvious..if someone says trading is easy..then unless you fully understand what they are saying..and exactly how much it will cost you to "discover" this..then best to stay serving up meals to others..sticking your finger in a hole to stop water leaking..or driving all over the place all night long :)

Yeah... let's all get into the Flow - Trading in the Zone... ☮

Uhmmm... I don't think so.

"What every trader has to realise, is that all the risk management and position sizing techniques in the world are of no use what so ever, unless the trader is aware of the obvious pre-requisite to trading any market."

Several posters pointed out that there's indeed another way of "looking" at charts.
"Obvious" and simple once you know it.
Giving you an edge of 85 - 95%...
but still subject to one's greed and fear.

I keep digging.

btw..ferrules are only used on stranded copper cores..not on single solid copper cores..as this will not make a good connection..

if looping a cable..the the 2 cores are twisted together..again in a clockwise direction..i have often joined 3 cables in a socket..so you will have 3 cores twisted together..not a problem !

you have to be very careful with any cable termination over 2.5 mm squared..as over this the current gets up to 35 amps depending on load..and higher..so loose connections or damaged cores can overheat..thus causing a fire hazard..any core over 2.5 mm is usually stranded..which means more current carrying capacity..and more cost

sockets and switches are the easy part..the fuseboard is the one that catches the handymen :)

agreed on the fuseboard - so stranded copper cores you call flexible power cables - well, here to learn
