Yes silly mistake, but it is a very good word . But, I make up my own rules, why be constrained by someone elses Regards, R
Are we going to get to the point here or it will be another 100+ pages thread for entertainment. What's been sad so far are only obvious and logical things which are necessary in trading. However, all those things arenât going to bring trader to the average of 2-5% daily profit. Are we getting to the point on how to reverse your thinking or what exactly can be seen using 2 eyes and 1 monitor to get to the numbers that only a few can achieve using half of the brain? amp.
I think your waveform is not very sinusoidal "Blessed are those who do not see, yet believe" WYSIWYG However, you have prompted a very good point, which I will now expand on. Well done Aa TE
NY and I had an argument over a Socratic Dialogue, namely, one called "ION". "ION", is a SD about Inspiration, and, how someone can blindly follow another person without first questioning what "ART" the person actually has, in this case it is Ion (a rhapsode) praising Homer ( a poet) - this interpretation is adequate for this discussion, but if you want to get a more detailed "analysis" , and learn about the "muse", then a google search will keep you reading for a night. So, my argument with NY was about "Inspiration". NY argues as above, and, how one must not blindly follow another person, no matter who that person is, and, true "ART" is more than just mimicking what others do. TE, on the other hand, argues that "Inspiration" is a must for one to succeed at the trading game, and, if one is not "Inspired" then one will get nowhere, as, one needs to have something to look up to and strive towards in order to achieve set goals. Surely, something is not right here, as, both sound logical and reasonable, yet, we all know of the many Ion's that are all around us, and the many Homer's who happily rant and rave, and, we also know of the "person" that we want to be like, as, our Mother and Father always spoke well of this person's Son and that person's Daughter! What could be wrong TE
Here is a small test, and GO will prob get it first This book is available to read online and can also be downloaded. One chapter is well worth reading, but, the whole book is good if you like reading such stuff Hint Hint - Nobel Prize Winner INTRODUCTION THIS BOOK is having the paradoxical destiny of becoming more timely while it grows older. Since its publication, its significance has increased continually. For the value of ideas, as of all things, is relative. It augments or decreases according to our state of mind. Under the pressure of the events that agitate Europe, Asia, and America, our mental attitude has progressively changed. We are beginning to understand the meaning of the crisis. We know that it does not consist simply in the cyclic recurrence of economic disorders. That neither prosperity nor war will solve the problems of modern society. Like sheep at the approach of a storm, civilized humanity vaguely feels the presence of danger. And we are driven by anxiety toward the ideas that deal with the mystery of our ills. This book originated from the observation of a simple fact--the high development of the sciences of inanimate matter, and our ignorance of life. Mechanics, chemistry, and physics have progressed much more rapidly than physiology, psychology, and sociology. Man has gained the mastery of the material world before knowing himself. Thus, modern society has been built at random, according to the chance of scientific discoveries and to the fancy of ideologies, without regard for the laws of our body and soul. We have been the victims of a disastrous illusion--the illusion of our ability to emancipate ourselves from natural laws. We have forgotten that nature never forgives. In order to endure, society, as well as individuals, should conform to the laws of life. We cannot erect a house without a knowledge of the law of gravity. "In order to be commanded, nature must be obeyed," said Bacon. The essential needs of the human being, the characteristics of his mind and organs, his relations with his environment, are easily subjected to scientific observation. The jurisdiction of science extends to all observable phenomena--the spiritual as well as the intellectual and the physiological. Man in his entirety can be apprehended by the scientific method. But the science of man differs from all other sciences. It must be synthetic as well as analytic, since man is simultaneously unity and multiplicity. This science alone is capable of giving birth to a technique for the construction of society. In the future organization of the individual and collective life of humanity, philosophical and social doctrines must give precedence to the positive knowledge of ourselves. Science, for the first time in the history of the world, brings to a tottering civilization the power to renovate itself and to continue its ascension. ***
There are pressures around us all, especially when groing up, to follow and be like others, the ones who have been successful. We are also often pressured not to be different, in other words follow a set path, the one that was successful for someone else. To be completely different and radical without any inpiration from others could lead to failure as we could be labeled as a crank and loose support. So I think the best path is to be inspired and influenced by others, understand what has been done, BUT to innovate and find success along a different avenue.
