Yes, you will keep repeating this outcome for as long as you choose to engage in the same behaviours. Once again someone who will not learn, who refuses to be taught, and who takes comfort in the opinions of those who also do not know what they are doing. Once again your trades today, whether signalled or not, are bloody shocking. You ought not to be trading live at all unless you wish to lose your money. I'm not telling you this to make myself feel better, but because it is the truth and if you listen you might save yourself some money. What of the motives of people who tell you to blunder on regardless? I care nothing for your opinion as to whether I am overly critical of others. What I posted was true, constructive, and helpful - that is for someone with the common sense to process what I was saying and ignore all the irrelevant banter. You are aspiring to compete in a professional environment. You should not let considerations which are social in nature take priority. How I treat others should be less of a concern to you than what I am trying to illustrate, from a professional posture, about what you ought to be doing to earn success in the markets. Perhaps NoDoji doesn't corrupt people after all - she just spouts the generalities that they want to hear and provides the encouragement that makes them feel better about aimlessly jacking away their money with haphazard hit or miss trading. It appears that you understand her a lot better than you understand me, and perhaps that has something to do with your mindset, quality of thought, and ultimate results. Sweet
That is contradictory to your stated purpose of trading live to make money. This comment borders on delusional. Here is a summary of your trading in terms of what I consider acceptable trades: Day 1: 1 out of 4 executions Day 2: 0 out of 4 executions Day 3: 0 out of 2 executions Day 4: 1 out of 3 executions Day 5: 2 out of 4 executions Day 6: 1 out of 3 executions (but you shit yourself on it and get out for a scratch) Day 7: 0 out of 2 executions Day 8: 0 out of 3 executions So in 8 days you have placed 25 trades, 5 of which were in the correct place, but only 4 executed without shitting yourself. 4/25. That means you'll get 16 trades right out of 100. Rather you than me, pal. To address the other comments: thanks to Oracle Wizard for the definition of "blotto". I enjoyed that immensely. As for the definition of noise you posit: "Market noise is the seemingly mindless back and forth movement...." - yes, mindless indeed isn't it? As for the comments about indecision - the ordinary definition is an inability to make a decision. Still nobody is able to explain clearly what they mean by this, and why the term indecision is appropriate. The last comment I saw was from NoDoji saying that indecision was decided by reference to a moving average. I give up. It appears few here are educable, so there is little point in my continued involvement on this thread.
La la la, fingers in my ears, I'm not listening. Please do continue with your journal though - I could use some light relief from time to time. And good luck with your trading!
Next time you're trading the midday mush, knock on the door, we can help you squeak a 20-tick profit out of the mess one way or another
Marathonian, get a trading buddy in Skype, Messenger, etc. Then tell him/her what your trading plan is and where you will take the trades. Then tell hir (just saving a few keystrokes, well maybe not, damn! ) when you take the trades or simply get a remote presentation tool that shows hem your DOM. See if that helps you stick to your trading plan. Good luck/skill and please don't feed the trolls - or at least don't quote them, that negates my wonderful Ignore list
count the number of times you mentioned i or my or me,the market doesn't care about you,only your money ,and you are only here for the money ,so ditch yourself,your in your own way,just let there money and your money dance,you stay on the sidelines,keep all your personal shit out of trading,the market does this and I..uh uh..the market does this period....just pick the money out of the air and stick it in the acct...the market and the acct exist....market and the acct are the big picture,you should just be a stamp on an old bill,disappear into a junk drawer...you are hanging around being the center of the universe ..you can take the picture out after trading hours and put it on display...but while trading make yourSELF disappear
