    A key word is control, and knowing that leads to caution.

    I'd say c = control.

    The picture is saying that Technical Analysis is not for the able minded.

    Its also obvious that trying to write on a computer screen with a pen is a very stupid thing to do.

  5. well spotted. it is also obvious that you have recognized the difference between those that know what they are talking about and those who do not

    you mentioned that you were trying to get some important information from another trader. it looks like you still need to overcome this obstacle that is holding you back

    as the slippery one said, it's a load of bollox, but you must be able to distinguish what is actually a load of bollox and what actually works, for most of it is a load of bollox

    there are several well known methods of trading that will yield very good results if the trader has the funding and experience to implement the required trading plan. you must have a plan otherwise you are not in control and will find yourself being attracted to those who post a load of bollox about nothing of any substance

    for the purpose of this discussion we will only talk about a daytrading plan, as it can be the least risky if you know how to set up the plan correctly

    so what does correctly mean?

    i see you have been called MN in the past so I will refer to you as MN in the future. to be polite and civil i will also sign off as TO

  7. it is time to state some facts in this thread and stop the silly posts:eek:

    in all commercially run organizations there will be always be someone trying to come up with ideas on how to improve on performance and thus enhance the bottom line. most of what is tried is derived from what has already been "tried and tested" by others. one of the most famous ideas is the toyota lean manufacturing system, and this has been "copied" by thousands of companies worldwide

    along comes the fukushima disaster and suddenly the weak spots are quickly identified in the process. why was such an event not allowed for in the plan, as toyota has plenty of money to implement such a plan if required?

    there is a single word that comes to mind, and when this word is brought into the trading game the outcome can be disastrous for those who decide to participate

    think before you type!
