Can't believe 10 years have passed... I remember it reading while I was on holiday. This "mystery" has been on the back of my mind every day, this last year. I feel I'm getting closer though... Any else crazy enough to keep plodding on an idea for that long...?!
Hi Onra, I feel you, I find myself going through random parts of this and the Obvious threads every now and then, especially when I think of something new. for Instance I think I finally see why the thought is key and why the way you think is what makes all the difference, also in relation to the box. Once I realized that my winning trades, while more frequent then the losers were less profitable than the losses, I understood that there was something fundamentally wrong in what I was doing. Now I am going to use the box in a different way and do things the opposite way. a hint: enter a trade with a stop order...
Hi; welcome back! I should have known I was not alone! The MCO riddle was posted 10 years ago (29-05-2009) and I was feeling a bit nostalgic... Glad you got a new approach to the old ideas! I tested a lot of (crazy) ideas and one of them holds some promise. I created variations from that (and thus more confusion ) I think it was Redneck that said that most of the times market follows structure, but there are days "when nothing works"... Stopruns make it hard to spot the exact levels or set exact limit orders. Good luck to you!!
This thread is of course related to the famous: "Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?" Traderz once said: The Brits probably had an easier time cracking the Enigma code than your cryptic tree, bee, ABC, box, poetic ramblings. I'm still cracking, but it forced me to think and look outside the box.
