  1. On the contrary! In fact he had me repeat everything so he could take notes, and even bought me another coffee and donut!!

  3. Yes, I think he did. And I didn't start the thread hoping that someone would buy me a dozen donuts!! But I guess that having not used much English in the last 50 years that my written presentation was so unclear that I received a lot of flak. Oh, well that's that!

    When a trader puts in the effort to understand the market’s system of operation, profits truly take care of themselves.

    It’s been stated 10k hrs of screen time is required to get proficient. That amount of forecasted time reduces substantially when one breaks the market down into it’s granular components of price and volume. There is a finite number of permutations cycling within an ever-repeating order of events.

    All observable and measurable.

    Did you show him what you were talking about on the chart? If so no wonder he understood. A picture is worth a thousand words. Maybe you can upload a chart similar to what you showed him.

  6. Yes I could do that showing the 20 or 30 parameters that I and other traders I know use daily. However, my intention was to encourage study and research by some readers regarding what I have found to be an overlooked and important factor when using TA that would be extremely valuable to improve performance.
    Additionally, as not all trade alike, the parameters that one discovers could be very different from those that I know of. And it would open a can of worms to explain how and in which situations this and that parameter are used.

  7. Perhaps it would have been clearer and better to have said context instead of parameters. I didn't grow up in an English speaking market environment, so my usage of the word may be incorrect. If so, i'm sorry for any inconvenience it may have caused you.

    This thread takes after the thread 'why the obvious is not so obvious'.
    Painful, slow, incoherent, dithering, lots of words about nothing, a touch of ego stroking maybe. Page after page of waffle.
    Get a grip lad and get busy trading, less talk.
    Show us a trade or two, actions speak louder than words.

    Well...you're right. Nothing beats real-time calls. (I hope this isn't classified as 'ego stroking.')
