Why is hard to make money? Find trend, stops above previous/high low, TP @ next highs/lows

    If you implement any type of mathematical measurability (simple or advanced) in your analysis, than i'd assume your using a quantitative model. I use the term "quant" loosely.

    It's a learnable skill. Gift and natural talent takes one so far.

    A confident positive attitude based on inspired methodical work is a choice anyone can make.

    In a pain oriented culture, going for max pain and bragging about the scars is encultured way to go before making that choice.

    Posting a chart and request for clarity is making that choice now without having to go through all that pain.

  3. Maybe English is his second language.

    Perhaps.

    But let me tell you, we will never see any shed of proof, just words. I don't believe in Tooth Fairies, neither do I trust claims of high consistency 'always in profit' end of week type stuff.

  5. For non-HFT operations, I agree 100%. Weekly consistency is a pipe dream outside of that, retail or not.

    If one has not achieved it, does that mean it does not exist?


    Crossing the abyss from doing to Being is a different yet similar path for everyone.

    Seeing the differences in things is seeing either/or sides of the coin.

    Seeing the commonality is seeing and/also.


    In other words, one pov is of a 50/50 probability.

    Another pov, is that one has 100 certainty of an answer to a framed question.


    Asking the right questions gets one on the playing field.

    Asking the wrong ones, gets one lost in the subways,... without a map,.. in a foreign country,...->...etc... -> as one keeps asking the wrong questions,...

    It's easy to know, because the answers to the wrong questions makes one feel bad, act badly towards themselves and act badly towards others.

    Very poor posting. English is my third language. I speak 4 languages fluently.
    It shows also your stupidity. You estimate trading skills by watching the language level? LOL. Over 50% of Americans have a poorer level then I have.

    This sentence is not correct too I think, the last three words miss something:
    When I read this type of stuff with spelling mistakes makes me laugh.

  8. You are not alone most traders fail, few will accept.

    Let's have it mate, post next week's trades real time on ET. But you won't.

    I average 2-3 trades a day.
    My return on a weekly basis varies a lot depending of what the market offers. But the consistency is that I never have a losing week. Sorry that this is still a dream for you.
