Absolute value. When you finally learn to trade, you'll want every penny you can get to trade with; you can only realistically earn so much a week on trading, and more capital gives you a better chance to live off it. So, demo and/or pennies while a ...

Yes, enough. Below is in further exploration from this fact. Most traders only systematize until they get a consistent cash inflow and ignore or wing what's missing. A real HG'd cost millions to leverage untapped areas of trading. I chase ...

Why is there no Traders Holy Grail?

recategorization in terms of trend breakdown, toward a rewrite of approach: Two-choice spans can be considered one of several ways to break up a trend, and, made of anomaly patterns or bunches of pip lines, have their own fork line; balance lines ...

A lot of trading methods are notoriously difficult to pin down as to how much profit or loss they'd make over time. Dozens or more times, you'd have to write down exactly how you decided each trade exactly according to the trading method, and not ...

STOP NOW! Stop listening to others' advice on which trade to take. The prejorative is 95% of traders fail; do you think those other people are all in the 5%? Trade one symbol. If you don't know how to trade one symbol, how can you trade a dozen? ...

Introduction and request for advice

It's not that I have to do every last, formal idea the method presents. Not every TF is necessary at any one point in time. If I can ad-lib every step, then more power to me. If I got a turn going from a recent study, that may be enough. Most of the ...

I need to practice the metaphor-derived chart study plan in post#1, to boil it down to size and drop the metaphor. When price is trapped amongst screen-visible s/r hz's, using candle patterns alone is easy. When price leaves such a safe zone, one ...
