I attached a picture. Rather than seeing it as numbers, just look at it from a color point of view. Let the psychological color values that you acquired from your environment come into play. Step away from it or unfocus it so numbers aren't overriding the colors. WizeTrade and InvesTools used color similarly. Coding displays in color do allow you to eliminate numbers. I know I replace numbers with pictures of many things. The nicest replacements could be considered the pictograms of psychology simply because the better colors are chosen to replace numbers. The green part of the attachment takes 10 seconds and the top took 20 seconds. The clock time sensing is not in numeration as a possibility. The trader is simply living through two profit segments. One psychologially speaking is in one directional color and then the other color takes care of twice the time and half the profits. Eliminating the twice and half is possible by "just doing it" like skiing on snow because the snow is there to go left and right across. You can just become a motion detector if you wish, Color helps you do that. Having to have stress psychologically and buying into stress is a non-numerical choice as we can see. It is like a food craving. people like to eat food because it provides needs satisfaction. I would shun stress when it comes to trading simply because there is not "MORE" aspect of trading that has to do with burning human energy. MORE in trading has to do with money.
I just placed 7 trades. All of them are placed in a chaotic way and I don't even remember the positions that I have. If there is a new announcement overnight, I would not have a clue on how it is going to affect my positions. To me, all the trades that I placed looks bad anyway and I recall a couple of trades were already halfway to the stop against me. I placed my stop-losses and my take-profits and hope for the best. I have closed the trade platform and will not open it until tomorrow morning. PS: I am still trying to rig the market. Pension_Admin
Of those 7 trades I placed last night, 3 of them became losers. I am fine with that. So, I placed another 3 trades in the morning according to my system and those 3 trades lose as well. Right now, I am riding the other 4 trades from last night. 1 of them is losing and the rest of them are showing me some profit. I am tempted to just take the profit and ends the night with a bit of gains, but I decided to add to the winning trade instead. I think this should be a sound decision. Sometime, I wonder if I am going to bleed my account to 0. Regardless of that, I have to do what I have to do, and that is to follow the system no matter what. Pension_Admin
No you don't have to follow a bad system. If your system put you on the wrong side of the strong uptrend on 4/1/08 it is a bad system. Instead why don't you create a simple trend following system, at least that would put you on the right side of major moves.
My system is chaotic. Sometime it will put me in the right side, and sometime on the bad. I am not sure if this is a bad system yet, but so far this system allows me to spread my risks around in the highly correlated currency market. I will probably give this system a few hundred more tries before I toss it out. Thanks for your post and your advice! Pension_Admin
Jack Hershey you are not welcome you lies and your deceit will only end when you end, but that is close isn't it
Explain the difference between chaotic and random? How does the system give you an edge? I wish you the best.
I am really not sure, but I believe that random has a constant element to it whereas chaos doesn't. There is no edge in my system. I do not get to see the hands until I placed my bet. Pension_Admin
If what you describe as "random" has an order to it, wouldn't that make it non-random? Isn't the first unbreakable law of successful trading "Have a proven edge"??? If you don't have an edge, what is it you are trying to accomplish? Zen mindset? That can be accomplished without losing money. Good luck.
Random or not random, it doesn't really matter to me anyway. My focus is making more money than I lose on each trade. I know if I am the market maker, I would not enjoy being the counter party of those who would make me lose more than I win. Thanks! Pension_Admin PS: I believe if I last long enough, I would make it.
