Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    JS persist, all these variously bad poems might seem like a lot of mumbo-jumbo but they are instead pure gold and once you get it, all that mumbo-jumbo will make perfect sense!

    Use the Box but think outside the box and know that all books and stuffs out there about trading are pure crap.

    Scrawled equations on the chalkboard,
    Teacher's talking as she writes.
    But I'm not paying attention,
    Under bright fluorescent lights.

    I Pythagoras with the best of them,
    Fibonacci 'till I'm blue.
    I'm at home with Euclid's theorems,
    And with Turing I just flew.

    I'm at one with Aristotle,
    I can prove the whats and whys.
    But it's warm and I feel sleepy,
    As my mind just dreams of Pi!

    Fibonacci is bad for traders are dead, Euclid's long ago I studied in school

    Turing a genius a war helped us win, but sure for us trading it is not the tool

    Pi has indeed in trading some use, but not what the experts may like you to diffuse
    :D

  4. I stand amid the roar
    Of a surf-tormented shore,
    And I hold within my hand
    Grains of the golden sand-
    How few! yet how they creep
    Through my fingers to the deep,
    While I weep- while I weep!
    O God! can I not grasp
    Them with a tighter clasp?
    O God! can I not save
    One from the pitiless wave?
    Is all that we see or seem
    But a dream within a dream?

    Au contrare VO, I just happen to like poetry as it stimulates the mind.

    Nothing worse than a dumb ass trader:)

  6. Look at me, what do I see
    A chart with price, 2 blind mice
    Look left and right
    like the green cross code
    struggle to move
    hold a heavy load

    A chart you say,
    Is it today,
    Or bygone days,
    Full of haze,

    What do i look,
    To bait the hook,
    Should it be true,
    Or best a skew,

    One thing for sure,
    All is pure,
    And if I twiddle,
    Short be the fiddle,

    So maybe then,
    I look again,
    Who knows but me,
    Just what might see.

    The thread seems to have meandered on and on with suggestions of a deeper secret beyond the obvious in the original post, but I don't think that there is any such thing, just maybe something that should be common sense. If I remember rightly the word 'eye' is mentioned by TE or TO many times. Also maybe IOU in 'obvIOUs' is a reference to I over U. A down bar is reminiscent of the way letter I can be written:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I

    So probably this is a cryptic way of referring to a particular chart pattern where a long trade has the best chance of success:

    Well, the Obvious exist and is so evident in its simplicity that is mind blowing!

    I do not the context where one of the OP may have indicated the importance of the letter I,O,U, in obvIOUs but they have a meaning in relation with the Obvious, the same is true to the 7sons, and an assorted series of numbers 3,8,9,6,2,5,7,4, and most of all the buzy bee is the key to all.
