We all have different views on trading or life in general.. Thats the cool thing about FF is we can all express our opinions on our common passion of trading And I know over the years my views have shifted and changed on somethings as with time comes experience let alone the exposure to the differing views on the forum. As TimeTells always says there is more than one way to trade...and no Best way to trade its an individual thing..... Sunday 830 a.m. here coffees flowing..birds singing..Life is good Cheers !
There's a shitstorm going on BW's new thread, I was making polite comment compared to what's going on now and I got banned from the thread.

How many people is he going to ban now Rickm is wobbling in support of BW ?

He is getting attacked from all sides, poor bugger, his response - everyone that doesn't trade like him is a dumb trader & gambler.

Upfront I did not trade Gold on Friday...
Was in all reality a simple 100-300 pip trade

With that said some will say ohhh Hindsight charts..and if thats where you are with your trading journey then thats ok...Perhaps one day you will understand what setups are and why you take your setups...And if you have rules the setups are crystal clear with very little ambiguity.

Now Gold would have presented a psychological problem for me ..As I like to short... and shorting off a Yearly High can be a damn good trade. But thats why a smart Technical trader will use context and confluences..and have rules.. Just not short blindly off a Line or a PFH. etc etc...

I know I would have been thinking Id like to short BUT experience of observing PA coupled with my TA, my rules, would not let me short as my rules gave me a clear cut long signal..and then my rules gave me clear cut entries and then my rules gave me a crystal clear exit....

So as some would say many traders using TA may have been caught shorting Gold Friday..and thats quite obvious as the vast majority dont have rules dont have alot of experience etc and simply are gambling or guessing
... Part of the evolution of a trader...

Side Note as I was telling Pete the other night.... Some will think its a shoe in 2000.... I used to think that and thats exactly how I blew up my account in 2011 I think it was.... I was heavy buying Gold above 1950 as I was sure as shit it HAD to goto 2000... And I kept averaging down until I tilted...haha
... Part of the evolution of a trader...

Now I have provided the same charts for a number of years...using the same entries and same exits...So no this is not a hindsight cherry picked trade. Its simply one trade following the rules... Zero ambiguity..

So heres a few charts with some observations and some insight of what a Long signal and then an entry looks like...two different things...and what a Hard exit signal "for me" is "when a market has momentum" and when that candle closes its get out no ifs ands or Butts

Cheers

Yes Not sure what to make of all the Hoopla and Hullabaloooo...LOL I see I have been banned/ignored by him as well.. I guess just returning my favour and does not want my input on his thread... All good...I think they are doing a fine job of imploding on their own.

For a guy who rants on about how all of us are dumb and that TA is useless and he doesnt use it..Just look at his last post's chart.. Hmmm I could be mistaken but sure looks like a whole pile of indis ! Ohh BRNS too..geesh thats risky stuff

Whatever ....we all see things different its just the sheer arrogance of his and others "absolute" statements that they have tried everything it all fails..there way is the best blah blah blah... When all it really shows is their ignorance and very limited understanding of Market structure..They simply can not read charts and thus nothing works..

Peter Caleb has made some very good observations on there I see... Im enjoying his shorter posts !

Carry on Sideshow Bob !
Edit: I see he edited his post shortly after this post of mine LOL....Coincidence...NEVER !!! and added
"Ps Technical analysis will not be able to tell what's going to happen next. Price action and indicators are useless. Just watch the market."
(what will hapen next) HUH...when ..seconds minutes hours beforehand? Oh yes You have the Magic Crystal Ball that knows all...
Perhaps you should sell it to Jim Simons of Renaissance Technologies !!!! Im sure they would pay you a fortune ! WOWsers ! hahaha
So what are we watching? Candlesticks...you say they are useless and Dangerous ! watching PA... The Big round numbers on your chart ? The highs or lows ? THe daily open hahaha ....typical nonsense from the Troll BW ..Wild just wild !

BW I highly suggest quit smoking whatever the heck your smoking pal... OK enough of Sideshow Bob's distractions for me...

He will start deleting, editing his posts like crazy now.

I think he has done enough damage to himself with his own rants, without the help of any TA trader he so despises.

He is obviously bitter about some course or book he has bought off the internet and has to blame someone for his confusion.

Go Peter Go..................... How long before he bans you from posting ?

Hope you do not mind but I after agree with you
The guy mentioned took some advice and left here and started his own thread, stopping posting on here at the same time, which most guys wanted and were very pleased about.
Weekend comes and the guy and his thread gets blasted again, from here
It appears some guys are really sad and bitter and just will not call the dogs off
Can they just not understand most of us are fed up and just not interested
having yet again, have to read through many nonsense posts , same old same old
Some really sad guys need to learn at some time you will need to move on and the sooner the better

Yes thats about how I see it ..
I look at it as a community here and we are all entitled to our opinions.. Its like i am sitting at the coffeeshop
with Shabs this a.m.(here) shooting the shit about whats going on in the community....

Some may not care to read any of it ...cool ! others may like to read but no comment..cool! Last I looked this is a trading
discussion forum..Are we discussing trading.. Generally I would say yes..

Im not changing for anyone and when I see others posting false information that only misleads traders who dont know better. .Than call them out for their bull.. Why not ?

If you dont like whats said, the way I look at it, ...its your problem deal with it....
Funny how some want to impose their opinion on how things should be for them...

Or perhaps more directly;
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen...
but that does seem a little strong I dunno I seem to be getting softer with age

Just my view folks sorry if anyone feels offended

Might close this thread down Kev and start a fresh one titled .... The Coffee Shop..... give it a few days and every seat would be taken, coffee flowing apart for Pete who likes his chai latte' and everyone talking complete bollox..... and enjoying themselves.

Hahaha you betcha !!!! Most dont know that Andy and I used to butt heads like you can not imagine for 10 years or so,,,...makes the current stuff look like kindergarten....
He won me over with his sweet talk and somehow sneakily poked a sharp pin in my ego and it deflated !! ( OR should I say a little hot air was let out) He then took great advantage of me in ways that I will not discuss. And of course fun times with Pete too....I am still apologizing for that fiasco !!! And Shabs ..I recall Shabs and I having some fun in a long dead thread and some squirrely characters !!!

All good fun and you never know who just might become a good friend on here you just never know is all I can say....so try not to take the idle chat too too seriously people,,,,and actually sadly I must also say..you never know who is on the other side... Some with serious mental issues... I am not referring to anyone at all in this thread or any current thread... Again its a community and sometimes some seriously bad apples show up.... So yes some temparment is probably a good thing...

Rambling again... its about time I start analyzing some charts for the coming week and update "My LINES" and PATTERNS...gasp TA stuff ya know...

All the best

Market is Fractal.
Targets also.

Here we go for a Monday morning, with maybe chaos in Switzerland about to be resolved or extended.


Just the 15m starting Chart View as my warmup for the day ahead
(and Asia MUST set a hi/lo for the new day at some point).

Ha! Yep, we butted heads, for over 10 years, and I have recently butted heads with another buddy, hope he reaches out at some point if he reads this.
