    do not get me wrong but much as I really admire your advice, I believe that you have to go with your natural temperament.....not everybody can buy and hold for 40 years like Buffet.

    I believe that if I am in front of the computer the cash register should be ringing.

    Because that is what I want and that is what my nature is.

    A monkey cannot live in the ocean and a fish cannot climb a tree.

    I know you will say that I have lost money for 12 years but...scalping is the most difficult activity on this planet.
    but not impossible if you are determined....the money is incentive enough

    my trading,unlike that of those who comment on it, is a work in progress.

    I want my trading to have certain qualities.

    in trading it can be decided what you want it to be....it is up to you.

    you can use indicators or price action or market structure like S/R or pivots or trade by instinct...or all of these

    you can hold for 10 seconds 10 days ,10 weeks .....

    i am now using trend lines to take my trades no more moving averages.

    i had tried it some years back and lost money...

    why am using it then now?


    because i am drawing them differently: from what all the books and experts say to do.

    not that what they say is wrong

    but what they said, does not help me, with what i want, from my trading and where i want to go with it.

    Again i am not saying that what the books say, what the experts say, what the members in this forum say, is wrong.

    All these advice, all these instructions and directions are perfectly correct: but they are all directing me to place i do not want to go.

    my desired destination is somewhere different....

    just explaining my position because a few people are getting frustrated with me

    markets are like people

    try to go in one direction and if blocked, try again.

    then go in the other direction.

    that the market does all 'day' long
