Takes a couple of minutes, but I'm not looking at charts, I look at a maths based result, no indicators.
I'm tempted to start a new journal thread, "Which way - markets". A spreadsheet type format so you can see the win rate lookback.
I mention such years back when the video course came out... Like I said, I've been called worst than a deranged prick and my comment about Brooks title of the video course versus the darn book was almost about the same as your words you just stated. Geeesh...back then when I stated something similar to what you just said...other's reacted like I stepped on someone's nuts (sarcasm). wrbtrader
You hardly remained quiet - you wrote the equivalent of Anna Karenina in your effort to shut this thread down. And your reason for wanting it shut down is that you were involved in some sort of super secret black ops.
First of all...all I did was repost what others posted when I noticed they weren't being responded too. Secondly, I do not know why she left but I have my suspicions and it has nothing to do with me. Thirdly, I indicated to nobody nor had any conversations with anyone about Erin here at ET. In contrast, someone "accidentally" said something over at Tradingview and I then asked a few questions because of my curiosity (I'm a little noisy). I let it go until later I saw a few strange message posts towards a new user with "likes" from a few others...very familiar past situation. Now my curiosity is sparked again and I do a little chess game via making a few comments about "not answering questions" to see whom will respond. It's important for you to remember that it was posts by others (in this thread and a prior thread) that peaked my curiosity. Why did they make those posts and hopefully Erin is not banned because if she is...a few others should be banned with her. Reality, we don't know why Erin abandon this thread instead of just sending a request to a moderator to have it closed but I have my suspicions about that too. With that said, there's only one username I've ever wanted their thread shut down...that was marketsurfer (sorry...felt like I just said Lord Voldemort). Yeah, I've been once warned about that too. Regardless, you'll know when I go after someone...its very straight forward, too the face...no backstabbing, no lies, no false narratives...just pound them with a ton of truth until they can't breath or panic. There will be no sarcasm and no stupid questions about something like then/than, swaps, buy orders/sell orders and what's your background (sarcasm). The only good thing...all of it did make me laugh as I was discovering what the hell was going on and then you showed up to act like you're upset about the joke not being shared with you. Dude, I did not make the joke...all I did was laugh at it. wrbtrader
Everything I use is math based - every single decision is based on math. Again, a chart is a data collection and display tool. I am not buying and selling chart patterns, though it is at times a useful form of short hand to refer to such patterns when communicating with others. Even bars are mere referecne points for this purpose, e.g. the close of the 11:50 bar. But I guarantee you every trading decision I make has a mathematical calculation as its foundation.
