    Appears Mac took a shot gun to a water gun fight – Yes Sir you have it, along with about nine dozen others :eek: :p


    As traders we must always be specific – so any suggestion on how do we go about narrowing it down to the one? :confused:

    IB,

    You bring up a good point....


    As we progress if ya’ll want – I will post up a how I draw trend lines to make a channel

    Admittedly it is more intuitive than a hard set of rules, but I’ll do my best to explain it…

    I should also add I will not use one of the stocks I trade for the example – don’t want it coming off as anything other than what it is – sharing…


    And if ya’ll don’t want to be bothered – no biggie… I respect that we must each have are own way of trading...

  5. BET you are happy YOU covered now:D

    Think of this!

    If you think it is time to cover, then, is it not time to reverse and risk some of the profits on discovering if you are right, or wrong?

  6. Well RN, you are of course under no obligation to anyone here, especially those who do not even post.

    The reason I post is that I learn things from it, oh yes, I forgot to admit, I am a selfish git:D

    It is very easy to get over confident in this game, and, I personally know a few traders that have blown it more than once, so much so that they had to quit trading, as they found it very hard to cope with large winnings, AND LARGE LOSINGS :eek:

    I must say, I know exactly how the feel, as, every trader will not realize what it is like until it actually happens, a few times, for, even though we think we might be smart, we are far from it when it comes to taking money from others, and keeping it.

    So, as we continue to discuss IA, let us keep in the back of our minds, at ALL times, that the money is not YOURS until you have it your bank account:cool:

    Too much paper money is no good to TE..Cash is KING :D

    I am looking forward to some discussion in relation to IA, and, as usual, it is up to each and every person to take what they can from it.

    I've reduced Mk's list to these:

    incentive
    inference
    influence

    A chart may show a potential gain, creating an incentive to trade and may influence a sucker into making a mistake. To analyse and infer the best opportunity for trading seems the correct approach.

    So is the answer: Inference Analysis

    just a thought - so long as the reason and action taken is based on what the market is telling you at that exact moment and not on an intuitive "feel". if i add to a position or reverse, market conditions have to say so along with the setup and i take it even if it looks a bit uncomfortable. any thoughts?
