demo — I share this trait. It's kind of a 1'TF-only trader thing. The reason for the apparent nonsense, at least as I can figure now, is to narrow in on one easy way to capture any move: Easy, because the 1' limits one's attention to a tiny ...

No more BS - What have you learned?

Yes. The higher win ratios is a good point, too. I often take one reason off the 1' and go through DD for trade, because of the precision available.

No more BS - What have you learned?

demo — (Aargh...) 1'TF is good for any run, is simple enough just before and during the trade if you put in the effort between trades, and is logical because there's more data. MTF is tough from one TF and, I believe, defeatable.

No more BS - What have you learned?

demo — That's a good one. What you can't program, you can't believe. It's only logical the 1'TF works better, since it has more data. Perspective on a single, low TF is just, well, tougher. A weak spot, to be sure. Get up close when the ...

Realizing after the fact this trade was too close for comfort, I see a need for my brain to 'bounce off' concepts, conditions, etc., more than I suspected. That is, my exit was too high. I also could have used an extra reason to lower the entry ...

While of course the last poster is right, it can also be fun to guess. Here's my input, from a speedy glance and which doesn't project anything: image That top level does look awfully solid, though, to flip up and over the same distance. On the ...

demo — Nice thread. "LEARN TO DEAL WITH UNCERTAINLY INSTEAD OF SEARCHING FOR CERTAINLY. RISK!" I'd rather search for certainty, to get it over with. Then, there's less uncertainty within myself about how much I can possibly know about the ...

demo — A TL set is angle->pattern->TL set An angle is all-important and difficult to define; a pattern is easy to define and difficult to rank in importance; and, TL's are either difficult to define and rank in importance, or easy on both, ...

I did borrow your own words. They struck me as unusually insightful. The way I see it, a bullshit session is a creative process, and we're all looking for the path to financial independence. So, maybe an idea from it or connected to it ...

No more BS - What have you learned?

Sensible mm and a modest edge, if I read you correctly. You missed my point, though. Lots of people take for granted the making of an attitude; it's even considered a negative word. Only, as noted, I've seen this, with corresponding technical ...

No more BS - What have you learned?

Exactly. I know it's not experience, tho it may help. So what the hey does? And actually, I think an attitude does, only I'm not sure how to capture this. One: If you're experienced with a potential edge and have a 'with-it' attitude that says I'm ...

Alright, well the way you put it, the chart motion had to be close to the exit for most of the time the trade is held, in order to be valid. I get what you're saying a little more, now. What happens when one enters a trade with one reason, and ...

No more BS - What have you learned?

No. Price hovers the majority of the time in drawdown, then dips once and speedily into price. The trade is still wise, because the original reason worked: The one powerful reason influences the entry-exit area enough to cancel the issue of having a ...

(post #1 dump) A 'pattern' is balance and balance, the start of a big move. A line pattern is a 'pattern' from which one makes good TL rays and perhaps also TL's (line segments). The number of line patterns per type is 0, which is 1, no TL ray, or ...
