  1. Will post a few secrets now and then

    You want to know what the other traders are thinking and doing.
    You can do that from just a chart.
    If they could major players would kill me for telling the secrets here in this thread.
    Peoples habit creates patterns.

    orderflow pretty much ? .. selling strength ? buying into weakness?
    herd behaviour, pushing/pulling... (greed , fear ) ?
    it all comes down down to rock paper scissors in the end.. ;)
     
  9. Psychology thread, ok I get it.

    People get what they want out of the market. Some afraid of success and some afraid of failure. Perfectionists are the worst.
    All represented on the charts I agree.

    ahhh just read the psychology musings of Dr Van K Tharp (Trading is simple we humans make it complex! We resist change!)
     
  10. Really? Don't all traders want (1) BIG profits, (2) fast upside results, (3) avoid the downside of risk?

    How many traders achieve that?

    "People get what they want out of the market"? No offense, but that's one of the most stupid things some dumbasses like to say. (I'm assuming you said it because you're just repeating something that sounds "profound and catchy"... even though it's not true.)
