    You have neither. You are a caricature, with no soul.

    Remember this from a few hours ago?

    You need new music or something, to get you back to reality.

    Out of curiosity, on what kind of time frame are you talking? It seems to me like if you plan to hold for hours or days, does it matter if you get into a trade a few pennies off? When the daily ranges are huge, isn't there enough to capture? Or if you're playing it tight, is it not possible to simply lower size and thereby be more flexible with entry and stop? I'm just trying to understand where the problem is if, based on just visually looking at the bars, the moves and volatility are still there.

    6 of one, half-dozen of other. I have been doing it longer than you. My proof is in my journal here. Where is your proof? We all await your answer on pins and needles.

    So it is 50 cent, sampling the Beastie Boys, who are before your time. You are sad. At least I have a journal of real trades. Where is your journal? Mmm? You don't have one? What is the matter? Taxes got your tongue? You are rich and don't want to give your position away to "The Man"?

    Faker.

    Not at all. If you take a percentage wise large position in proportion to your time-frame then you can move the price a lot but that's not the point here. The large players can take any size and they won't be pushing the price a few cents but far more.

    I don’t know, but my own experience is they don’t want overqualified people because they will get bored and stop soon. When I was a bit younger - 31- I needed to find a job with a “broken” cv. I tried to get junior risk analyst jobs at banks but was simply too old, they want 25 y’old fresh from college. Eventually I had to bullshit me in a senior job level position. There was no other way

    But what if it's true, never ceases to amaze how people need to say what you're saying simply because they didn't spend the years making good choices and therefore have no capacity to do it themselves.

    We can never know for certain, but like trading one needs to work on probabilities and make choices from as much info one can gather at the time.
    So far nothing you've said inspires me to think you have any wisdom to offer.
