  1. After the race, when Bikila was asked why he had run barefoot, he replied, “I wanted the world to know that my country, Ethiopia, has always won with determination and heroism."

    I posted the picture of the British girls.
    not to be an idiot,but there is something about the Brits
    I always liked.
    Something about Paul Revere and the
    way a farmer wakes early to check on the flock.

    B shouts, hey look at me, I'm going down.
    In real time.
    A only see when it's too late to do anything.

    Can't short. Can Inverse trade though?

    Oh, haven't tried the OHLC yet, been fixated on the candles.

  4. the next day is here..it is time to cheer
    no care do have i..as time will fly by
    ding dong with a song..they all play along
    i watch with amuse..and wait for the clues:)

    o look what i see..is that bizzy bee:D
    over and back..still on the track
    the nectar in sight..i quickly take flight
    dive in with a song..and out with a long

    now i am in..there will be no sin
    for sins are real bad..and will make me sad
    i think like a fox..and use the old box:D
    for clear it do be..like apple on tree

    the nectar is sweet..the noise on the street
    is rubbish to bee..i listen to see
    what fools make a move..out of the groove
    for soon i do know..the honey will flow

    it comes once again..much like the big ben
    the hand it is fast..just like a ships mast
    the bee now will buzz..without any fuzz
    i now have the honey..and plenty of money:D

    so read what u will..and take u no pill
    for truth it is so..u will become slow
    the head is a ball..but be it not small
    just think of the bee..and keep him bizzy:D

    per this last post of mine, i would recommend we all take some time to think about this one. i dont think it has to do with the cirlce and V lines.

    In the spirit of not busing on anyone.., but being very forthright

    Nothing in your post even remotely resembles what a trader would think, or do

    =======================================
    You figured you would try a long

    I have no idea what caused that as there were no announcements that I was aware of


    Btw I could care less if you won or lost…

    How you got there (your thinking process) is what I have issues with


    ========================================================================================

    Next time you post a trade

    Use a small box, or similar
    Define your stop
    Define your target
    Whether you went long or short



    And most importantly - Explain your entry reasoning… BUT… You must use the very same words, and language – price uses

    Post the outcome

    And I could give two hoots in hell whether it is a winner, or a loser



    Omit the following when you post next;

    What you think
    What you figured
    How you felt
    What you had for breakfast
    And everything else for that matter

    None of it matters


    Please

    Would a talking/thought pattern like this be what you are talking about RN?

    Price gapped down to open the day from yesterdays close.
    Then it made higher lows until noon.
    Price then made a lower high to the 56.12 price off the high of the day at that time which broke the trendline drawn in the picture (13:13).
    It then rejected that price of 56.21 at 14:21
    I entered long on the retest of that line with a limit order.
    I placed a stop under short term resistance of 55.72.
    I set a target of 57.55.
    Price then broke down right after my entry and hit my stop.

    Just taking a stab MN , not trying to jack the question.

    Then quit fighting yourself

    Give in... tear it down... and rebuild...

    Bullet Proof


    Go ride that damn "you know what" and get it over with... so you can begin anew

    Not only do you already have enough in your head... you have too much...

    Too much to trade well anyway

    Clean house... Cntrl.. Alt.. Del.. do what ever...

    But lighten your load the hell up

    Then KISS

    And remember this in TrAdIn... not science.. nor perfection
