  1. Ok, emg has got his point.

    Anyway, he again exactly pointed where the retracement will occur.
    He apparently has system that is not usable in all conditions, but sometimes it works great...

  6. "Trading is not a favorable game in most circumstances, and that is what we must use as our assumption in trading. The big
    mistake made by traders is thinking and expecting trading to be a favorable game.
    You have execution costs or slippage when getting in and out of a position as well as commissions as a cost factor to be
    subtracted from your winnings or added to your losses. The market spends much time in an unpredictable mode. Trends both
    short - and long-term do exist but not 100% of the time.
    The correct way to control positions is to only hold them once they prove to be correct. Let the market tell you your position is
    proven correct, but never let the market tell you that your position is wrong. You, as a good trader, must always be in command of
    knowing and telling yourself when your position is bad.
    The market will tell you when your position is a good one to hold. Most traders do the opposite of what is correct by removing
    positions only when proven wrong. Think about that. Your exposure and risk is much higher if you let the market prove you wrong instead of your actions removing positions systematically unless or until the market proves your position correct. "


    People are spending way too much time focusing on other people's trades, focus on your own game.
