  1. J SMITH...did you get beat by your father? I'm trying to read into this...either you think I abuse my children...which I don't treat my children like my trading/projects...or something happened to you? Yes, this is thought provoking.

    Too much philosophy instead of practical applications.

    5 minute chart is fine, Steve 21,if you like to trade noise; or could enter or exit a good trend, on 5 min candles LOL[LOL on 5 minutes being called a trend , not on your comment]
    Trends are not really defined by 5 minute charts; but it takes all kinds to make a market. Thanks

    No.

    I never said you abused anyone!

    Nothing happened to me.

    Yes, it should be, for, how can any person in their right mind make excuses for an abuser, just because he pranks around wearing a stupid garment that looks like a dress, and they then call transvestites weird!

    Many get the point, as a lot of it has to do with your mental make up, and how easily you are led by others - trading is no different, for the world is full of idiots, in every walk of life, and, the biggeset idiot is yourself, if you listen to what they say.

    Like I said, read between the lines, and the next time " a child" tells something, do not dismiss it without further investigation, for, it might just be that the "child" is telling the truth!

    Would you care to elaborate on what you think is a " practical application"!

    A 5 sec chart exhibts trends, and if a person is unable to see them, then it is due to the way the person looks at the picture!

    When most look at the Mona Lisa - and she is not a porn star, for our juvenile traders - most see a very average plain looking woman, that would not make heads turn.

    So, why is it that it is one of the most expensive paintings in the world!!!

    Just saying, all wishy washy kinda posting going on. If you are proponent of trend trading then just state it and post some visual examples.

    What happens then is a flood of arguments that question ability to participate in those opportunities and then we take it further with a concise debate. Making philosophical vague comparisons deters quality concise participation.

    Discuss.

    The only thing I know, is that I really know nothing!

    Many would say that you have the wrong chart, for a start, and, you are not looking at in in the right way, so, the first step, is to have the right chart, and look at it in the right way, but, it all depends on your personal circumstances, how much time you have, how much money you have, and how stupid you are!

    when birds do fly..high in the sky
    the wing is wide..so bird can glide
    high and low..to see what so
    and down will fall..when up too tall

    and when it down..it starts to frown
    the lure is great..it can not wait
    so spread the wing..and start to sing
    back up it go..to and fro

    this trend you speak..it is birds beak
    so long and thin..and no sign chin
    but be aware..for when bird stare
    it mean for sure..that bird unsure

    in mid of flight..it might take fright
    and drop so swift..no time to shift
    so watch the sun..for it's the one
    that makes bird fly..high in the sky

    discuss you say..let's make some hay
    but most know not..and think are swot
    like all before..most end up sore
    on head will fall..bird shit so small:D

    Please stay the course.

    At which point do you consider a change of trend? (feel free to annotate).
