    you need others....to do the same as you
    if you buy and market goes up 100 ticks, was it your buying that sent the market up?
    not unless you are GS

    trading with the trend gives you an edge

    everyone knows this

    the edge remains

    trading is no secret

    Trend is not an edge. Having the skill to trade the trend maybe an edge or maybe luck. The longer the time-frame, the more chance it's simply a case of being at the right place at the right time.

    you need simple money management to trade the trend
    i think it is an edge.......but that is my opinion
    and a two bar rally on 5 min time frame is a trend.....maybe not a major trend but it is a trend.

    Take a phone pic of the actual VHS for proof of life... nobody believes you. Nothing special about the video.

    The experience in the market teaches you that the best way to operate and make profits is to be passive to make your movements because they are very measured and it is not constant that there are errors, The anxiety to win generates that movements are carried out without control or with high rates of risk generating in this way great losses. That is why it is explained that the most specialized traders operate in such a calm manner.
