You are helpful Edge and you have highlighted trading. Do we want to trade to make money, or do we immerse ourselves in paradoxes, somehow lost in the belief that we are reducing risk to within our tolerance levels and that everything will have a happy ending. On the one hand we can try to reshape trading within our mind in order to drag it down to where we feel comfortable. In this case the desire to confirm what we know with what we know proves overpowering. In this case the hare knows that he can beat the tortoise. And on the other hand we can accept that we know nothing and begin building from the ground up, always with the apex being the realistic achievement of trading for a living and beyond. In this case the hare decides to beat the tortoise. It is his goal. How many posts do we read where Posters introduce themselves by virtue of the techniques they have been taught in the outside world, PHD, BSC programming etc etc. And how many Posters introduce themselves by virtue of their success through calculated risk. sosueme
Trading is a numbers game, forget economic data. Trading is you against the other players. But those of us with a brain already know that. http://www.advancedtrading.com/mana...ticleID=218500899&_requestid=388817#undefined

I would love to watch this but it gives me a "session timeout".. The link does not work... where is the parent homepage? many thanks, Stone
I didn't start out saying anything negative other than I felt strongly that divergence was a flawed concept. After years of testing I'm entitled to my opinion. Whiskey took it upon himself to jump on me and say I was talking shit (his words- not mine). And I did PM him instead of posting on this thread and his response was if you're not going to DO something for me don't waste my time. Then he jumped on the fact that I took a laptop everywhere I went including the john so as to not miss a trade. This became an obsession with him. I don't know why. When he PM'd me he told me he couldn't figure out how to be profitable. Why am I obligated to share anything I don't wish to share? The water pump one of my V12 BMW's went this afternoon requiring a tow truck and a bill for $142. Do I expect someone else to pay it besides the insurance company? Why is it on the internet suddenly everybody should freely share whatever knowledge they possess? The truth is most of the people here are real assholes and if you met them in real life you'd probably take a swing at them. Nobody has ever had the nerve to tell me too fuck my face or whatever you wrote, and I doubt you'd have the nerve to do it in person. Why would I share anything with the likes of you or your ilk? That's my point. Finally, I watched the charts in real time and when they should have been helpful, they were not. Period! Your idea of useful is not my idea because I attach a very strict critical level of thinking and results to my trading.

Ken, I overreacted this morning with regard to the f*** statement. I was displeased with the fact that AMT stopped posting after you and Whiskey started arguing on the thread. Blaming it all on you is not the right thing to do. I agree CDV real-time can be counter-productive, especially if you're using a small tick/time frame chart. The value in CDV for me is in longer charts where it helps me find the right pivots and trend. W
Funny how one of the "moderators" was instrumental in the demise of this thread. I thought that's what moderators were supposed to prevent.
