Why not make a technical study of random charts, with psych and 10Kh on the side to keep things level? I've been looking forever for a free online random chart generator that requires no programming/Excel skills -- You just go to the site and start ...

Probability Paradox!?!

another such thread: 1. One thing about round numbers that I get concerned about, is how much one can trust them enough to build on them with drawing devices etc. Or, should I simply break down in halves the space between round numbers with ...

Important Round Numbers?

post #1, new: image with the social mec a few posts ago and image ------------ Cool, doubled non-margin-call accounts' number of trades -- At least, once. (It's NOT what I usually do, just a slim hope.) A note: Sometimes when I do this, I overdo ...

Pattern's Chemo-Electric Trading Journal

Hi, thanks for visiting. 'ha' in 'ha-pattern', 1, 2, 3, and, , an even closer involvement with changing brain chemicals in my next attempt(s) at a trading approach. And, you inspired me (and no, I don't): no-ha pattern (How (after ...

demo — I don't know if this is any good. Fascinating, tho.

Drawdown reduction ideas?

Still happens to me too much. Lots of reasons cover the market's move, each in varying degrees of hold time and in-trade drawdown. Yours just happened to be off that day.

the weird market

I was studying after what traider said: Breakdown of my lines -- Sometimes, a price-action trader can read the chart so well that its direction becomes crystal clear. If such a thing as trade study is muddled, stay or get clear of it. Emotion does ...

It's A Heart-Mind Game... Are You Ready?

A passion to learn the meaning of the last set of bars in context of the larger (non)chart area and let winners run, or to let go just as much as a difficult goal and also a loser, is an edge that replaces the cruder emotional set, to rank (in ...

It's A Heart-Mind Game... Are You Ready?

demo — Maximum opportunity. Good call on the emotions etc., tho. I don't get why 'one bar - one (symbol)' etc. I gotta look at hundreds to a thousand bars before I feel really comfortable about trading, so the 1' works for this. Oh, alright -- ...

Why even daytrade?

post #1, the third section rewritten for: (>o) Know the chart (task= draw chart technicals; object= each drawn; area= chart area studied) Object consists of shape(s) small, combinative, replaces PA-adj; or, big -- variable [temporary ...

post #1, rewrote 'know the chart' and 'merge' for clear variables so that notes added to each modify them, and clarified text of 'know yourself': (>o) Know the chart (task= draw chart technicals; object= each drawn; area= chart area studied) Object ...

demo — Yeah, automate your trading psychology. Then study PA and on top of that, whatever gets you an edge. There's lots of trading psychology rules around, only few trading-tested past a superficial nod.

Any good systems to look into?

post #1 rephrasing: area (task,object((s) doing task in area with other object((s)))) is RIGHT OR WRONG for chart and trade in-object (task= drawing chart technicals; object= each of what is drawn; area= chart area studied) Object consists of ...

Pattern's Chemo-Electric Trading Journal

How I draw may matter, also. I was sketching some photos (no, I'm awful, and it's just to generate ideas) and got into the subtlety of drawing thin lines of various lengths and curves. How I draw trendlines began to matter more, so that rays became ...

Pattern's Chemo-Electric Trading Journal

I remember that after a while, I was trading (demo) regularly and got into a groove understanding the chart, so that I could pick a small chart area and add just a little technicals to it, to give reason for something to happen much, much later. I ...

How to properly use Technical Analysis

I don't know, sometimes Adal and others post highly original ideas and I get inspired. Not a lot of charts go thru the nontrading Trading Discussion threads, so it's easier to filter for them. My point was, I'm also fairly unfamiliar with them; the ...

How to properly use Technical Analysis

"liqudity provider" -- too familiar with that I'm unsure what your chart is to represent, volatility clustering and overflow imbalances I guess. To me, though, you drew a bunch of small trend angles. Those have fascinated me for a good ...

How to properly use Technical Analysis

demo — No, the slant of the fib lines themselves. The lefthand run nearly takes over the entire chart, and thus does its angle, which is different than the fib retrace device's always-vertical angle. As in, either use a pitchfork or draw it in ...
