Well I hope they are. I have no secrets. Actually the more people learn about these tactics and implement them the more precise it becomes. How long? I was scalping long before I ever heard of Brooks. I have always leaned towards getting what the market gives me before it takes it away again. I started learning about the markets in the late 1980’s. Brooks put to the pen techniques and strategies to implement good concepts for scalping in any environment (well 95% of the environments) that a trader will encounter in the markets. Kudos to him. Nevertheless, most traders who attempt to master what he teaches simply give up. That is their problem. He gives the most comprehensive treatment of Price Action of any trader or training organization that I know of and does so at a very affordable price. Not thousands of $$$ like many others charge but simply a few hundred $$. I am not a shill for brooks but I can only say that in my experience I have found no one else that comes close to what he dishes out in his trainings. But one does have to give it time to understand his way of communicating. It took me a few years to get in the flow of his communication style and what seemed like double talk suddenly made sense.
B.B. -- Before Brooks I've learned a huge amount from Brooks, more than from anyone else, but do not yet intuit charts the way he does -- his narratives and hypotheticals always make sense, but when I look at a new chart I don't have have his analytic conviction, at least not per his favored concepts, eg Major Trend Reversals. What I find most valuable in his course is its inventory of a large number of price action data points, and his method of analyzing the most contextually salient subset of that data in thinking through / anticipating multiple possible developments and responses. This has led me to all kinds of insights that are nowhere in his (or others) presentations. I sometimes wonder if he has undisclosed middleware that groups price action data points into a conceptual model that underlies higher level concepts that he communicates publicly.
well put. they would rather trade on the fat body of the candle right in the middle. i call them the losing candle belts of orion. but they wouldnt understand that. im starting to see that everyone sharing winning strategies us stupid. do u show your cards at poker. why show the truth when i would stab you in your eye to gain a tick and thats in the micro. i come here to watch the pain i cause when there fat gaussian trades roll down the tail into my mouth full of money!
i m done being mr. nice guy. your orders are the titanic and im the iceberg. aggressive mkt orders just like the hft lets my wife shop at tiffany
i must pat myself on the back again!! gold to 2 year highs. only up 100 bucks a contract since it was mentioned. did u buy it! nope cuz your a loser and i love great losers because we need the money. mgi im in at 2.03. yes going to 4 asap. bidu at 500 in 5 years. snap at 90 in 3 years. these are pro plays not for gutless overweight horse betters.
not bad buying high selling higher. the opposite of the public but at times switching gears quickly n selling highs to those buys and buying lows to sell those i call the losing set.
funny. i bought snap at...16. then 12 then 8 then 6.18 for my largest buy in. i havent sold 1 shaee yet. not even 1 i have thousands. that was the best average down of my life and im a day trader but i got behind snap and my premise my bias my plan and im up huge. holding until 90 in 3 years.
