I can fully understand your point of view, but when I scalp and average durations are less than 3 minutes, it wouldn't matter if Pres Reagan rose from the grave. We all have points of view, where I am more written rule based ground in childhood, don't put together red and black wire or we back in ER again, and there are many who use some form of rules based on world events and economies. People have "ideas" of who they are and base their abilities to what makes sense to them. There is no right or wrong, just your accounts. But you basing it on what you have read by others or schools you attended and they shoved their ideas onto you, how about experience of when something happens, the people involved-what happens to their lives-their quality of life, do you think steel workers want to get hand outs from the government or go to work each day but they can't cause some country is paying rice bowls for workers and there is lack of true competition and equality? How about the our people !!! How about traveling to 100 countries plus and experience the real world instead of reading about it at your desk.
There are two things that must be mastered to trade for a living: 1- Taking the time and effort to learn how to trade. 2- Developing the strict discipline, focus, courage and patience to do so. Failures are not due to TA but violations of the above.

The fact that, according to you, good knowledge of English is needed to get TA right, shows what an idiot your are. How many languages do you speak? If you are an American it will be 1 probably. I speak 4 languages, with or without small mistakes.
Considering the heavy calendar for both Fundamental and Economic releases this week, what is your analysis? How have you positioned for these upcoming events?
So besides of writing error free English, one should also travel to a lot of countries to be a good trader? You just entered the hall of fame of ET. LOL.
You won't succeed baiting me. Let it suffice to say that attention to detail or the lack thereof in both, trading and the usage of language highly correlates and that it does impact trading performance.
