Sorry but I gotta ask: you mean that some people (and a majority of them, to boot?), can't draw a demand line under an up trend? Isn't this the...
You're making DB's point for him: retail trading isn't about capturing some holy grail gains to impress fund investors, but to achieve a daily...
That's basically how I learn, and I implicitly thought that all traders went through the same effort to build and refine their trading plans....
(I'm glad I finally joined ET!) I was trying to restrain the thought experiment into some possible common ground with @marketsurfer . We are...
(This might need a thread of its own soon...) I don't understand being in error. Let me rephrase what I was trying to express: if we generate a...
I think we're close to an agreement, except that I maintain that a win rate isn't directly related to randomness. :) The fact that you look for...
(FYI I'm only trying to reconcile @marketsurfer 's claims with your own, I for one believe that price isn't random, just complex, but that's...

It is remarkable indeed, that when we discover a slope (or "frequency" as some would call it), it often will be tested again, to the tick. Often...
It's like a solar eclipse. I know I should look away, but I'm somehow hypnotized by this thread...
Eh, I'm new but already getting used to that.:p I knew about Anekdoten, but hadn't seen Shopster's thread. Thanks! Funny, if someone isn't...
(Hopefully I'm not diverging too off-topic here...) While we agree on the benefits of watching the pro, we part ways regarding the purpose. :)...
Definitely among the weirder posts I've seen lately. o_O Given the time and administration involved with getting set up at a prop firm, and your...
