  4. Trading is the weak-hearted selling to the bull-headed

    Trading is the optimistic buying from the pessimistic

    Trading is winners and losers interacting with losers and winners

    Trading is a multidimensional optimization problem embedded in a self-modifying environment populated by adaptive, bounded-rational utility maximizers

  10. Gann,

    I post these thoughts because I enjoy writing about the game -- if it is putting others in a state of perpetual confusion then they need only to put me on ignore :)

    Words should never intefere with the process; for they are simply words... Words have no bearing on the trading ----> the trading creates the words...

    And Gann don't take yourself seriously enough to think that you speak for the entire comunity of Elite Trader... I really enjoyed Rogue's thoughts and I am sure someone somewhere enjoys mine...
