This is like saying to the person who explains to you how you do not have to choose a special lane to shorten the time you will spend in a traffic jam if you just choose to take the plane, that he is completely off topic. He provided some of (if not the only ones) the most thought provoking posts here worth reading. All other so called " discussions" were nothing else but statements of failure. PS: Enjoy your bashing. (Dig up some of my older posts for they might help you soothe your ego) PSS: LOL Jack, I just saw your last post here. I'm now starting to feel sorry for the guy.
I don't know....I just feel so inspired....... I want to write a series of childrens books where happy little animals discuss econ theory and Nobel prizes and how well economists took care of their habitats. I can think of how children can approach mind building as being land developers and contractors (including roofers as subcontractors, even) and rip off unwary little beavers doing it the hard way. They can use new neurons for mind building and they can mix up peptides to circulate power from location to location. Nothing over my usual third grade limit. I may yield to this ultimate pressure point Bentegde raised and start a thread on children's books as my very own thread. Health Net is handing out a set of five rainbow hi-liters to old people. I may wrap the children's books into a hi-liter senility series too. They can all color their 401's discentigrating. All the books will be written in two directions (at right angles) so they can read them twice (horizontally and vertically) this way I can make my hypothesis set counterintuitiveness point to little children and very old adults. All cursives instead of letter printed. Maybe I'll screen(no more than 15%) in behind my posts, my P&L prints from now on. I'm on an OT jag I guess. I may do a trading puberty series too. Sort of a Harry Potter as an edge growing into bentness from ruining his mind by doing things he is told are bad foir him. Create all the market myths as under the sheets experiences in the twilight zone. I remember a SNL episode with a character named Harry Balls; he was not at puberty though. Trading puberty is a real zinger..... It IS where all the myths get manifested. A whole forum for this. The sponsor could be Harry Potter's author and the wildlife Federation. Or the royal family of Sweden.... It could be a dynamite forum with a federal bailout for "too big to fail" trader puberty financial sub-theme. How much could is cost a month? All badgers go on ignore automatically.
Perfect, the readers are inspired as well. The organic natural cycle contribution is stellar. I better do a sun tan lotion for little animals book too. They can wear sweat shirts with hoods with earholes in them just like stop loss protection. we can introduce multi layering of charts too when the weather is cold but sunny. Three layers and one overall layer for the season will do it. Little animals should test their backs too. Another press run for sure. We can do a grown up version called puberty based back testing. The theme can be statistical insignificance or as Shakespeare said "much ado about nothing". A combined Mac Donalds and Burger King sponsorship will roll it out. MacBeth666 the puberty trader back testing of animal's backs. Pork U Pine will have a stand up roll too. He can get his back up at the least inspiration and shout Sharpe Quill ratio, Profit Quill, and sotino Quill.
I see jack feels obliged to relive himself in the thread once again. For those of you who can't follow what he is saying, the enclosed picture gives a perfect explanation of his writings.
And for his erstwhile followers, here is the fastest way for them to absorb his teachings ... like feeding candy to a baby.
I lost a few thousand, which was a lot for me. And this is assuming I'm not done losing yet... What I wish I had done was trade as small as possible for as long as possible. Trading is a grind, plain and simple, in my opinion. Paper trading was useful in teaching me some basics on how the markets work, but once I started to throw real money down I really stared to learn. Just be patient, or put yourself in a position where you can be patient, and trade so small it almost feels like it's not worthwhile.
Excellent questions. For non-trending internals normally hold for a resumption of the trend while watching in case of a reversal. Not exactly sure about what is meant by non-trending non-internal bars. OB's or stitch (which may be considered internals), doji or spike bars? Or a bar that returns to the prior bars range (for example made a higher high but closed within the prior range?
