Don't worry about his nonsense. We don't read what is written by the professional writers @scat is beyond hope.
Self-fulfilling aspects (if it actually does take place IMO doubt it much), is just like any other inefficiency. It gets taken care of by markets soon enough.
You need to understand which "breakouts" will be or won't be successful, not which breakout was or wasn't successful! All you are doing is reacting to price action with false beliefs. Oh you mean an abc pattern???? lol you guys are being led around in the dark by price action.
This is the misconception people have. Chart cycles and patterns existed long before charts existed. Price action is driven by cycles that manifest itself in these predictable ways on the chart as they do in life. Just look at life quotes. "It's always darkest before dawn" --->the bottom after a downturn, before price recovers. "Flying too close to the sun" ---> buying frenzy at the top. “Procrastination is the enemy of success.” ---> Missing the big move whilst sitting on the sidelines. "Calm before the storm" ----> sideways price action/consolidation.
There are actually understandable reasons for not posting trades live, why the OP couldn't have said one of those understandable reasons is a mystery, instead he gave a pretty dumb reason: I don't want you losers "making money off my plays" lol
Like reverse engineering? Regardless, I said shortly after his entry, when additional trades in his direction could only benefit him. Besides, he's referring to S/R, so trades would be taken somewhere near those levels anyway. Not much mystery there. The only mystery is whether he actually took any such trades himself or if he's just giving color commentary well after the fact.
