    Hope you guys don't mind if I jump in here...

    As far as "correctly" improving one's W/L ratio, I have no clue.
    But *careful trade selection* works for me.
    To borrow an expositional strategy from Mr. Nyse,
    I AVERT losses by being aware of the:

    Averages
    Volume
    Extremes
    Range &
    Trend

    If this helps, - you're welcome.

    Sometimes you have to "taste it", as the color can often be deceptive:D

    You have opened up one big can or worms ST!!!

    What if one said you are right, but you are also wrong!

    Makes you think, does it not!

    Target In is always more important than Target Out - but it is very hard to make BIG money if you are not in C.O.N.T.R.O.L:D

    THE USE OF ***S* *H* **O*.

    2. Hostile armies may face each other for years, striving
    for the victory which is decided in a single day.
    This being so, to remain in ignorance of the enemy’s
    condition simply because one grudges the outlay of a
    hundred ounces of silver in honors and emoluments, is
    the height of inhumanity.

    4. Thus, what enables the wise sovereign and the good
    general to strike and conquer, and achieve things
    beyond the reach of ordinary men, is foreknowledge.

    5. Now this foreknowledge cannot be elicited from
    spirits; it cannot be obtained inductively from experience,
    nor by any deductive calculation.

    6. Knowledge of the enemy’s dispositions can only be
    obtained from other men.


    14. Hence it is that which none in the whole army are
    more intimate relations to be maintained than with
    ***S* *H* **O*. None should be more liberally rewarded. In no
    other business should greater secrecy be preserved.


    25. The end and aim of in all its five varieties is
    knowledge of the enemy; and this knowledge can only
    be derived, in the first instance, from the converted ***S* *H* **O*. .
    Hence it is essential that the converted ***S* *H* **O*. be treated
    with the utmost liberality.


    27. Hence it is only the enlightened ruler and the wise
    general who will use the highest intelligence of the
    army for purposes of ***S* *H* **O*. and thereby they achieve
    great results. ***S* *H* **O*. are a most important element in
    water, because on them depends an army's ability to move

    Hmm, why now indeed!

    From the records of religion and the surviving menuments of poetry and the plastic arts it is very plain that, at most times and in most places, men have attached more importance to the inscape than to objective existents, have felt that what they saw with their eyes shut possessed a spiritually higher significance than what they saw with their eyes open. The reason? Familiarity breeds contempt, and how to survive is a problem ranging in urgency from the chronically tedious to the excruciating. The outer world is what we wake up to every morning of our lives, is the place where, willy-nilly, we must try to
    make our living. In the inner world there is neither work nor monotony. We visit it only in dreams and musings, and its strangeness is such that we never find the same world on two successive occasions. What wonder, then, if human beings in their search for the divine have generally preferred to look within! Generally, but not always. In their art no less than in their religion, the Taoists and the Zen Buddhists looked beyond visions to the Void, and through the Void at "the ten thousand things" of objective reality. Because of their doctrine of the Word made flesh, Christians should have been able, from the first, to adopt a similar attitude towards the universe around them. But because of the doctrine
    of the Fall, they found it very hard to do so. As recently as three hundred years ago an expression of thoroughgoing world denial and even world condemnation was both orthodox and comprehensible.
    "We should feel wonder at nothing at all in Nature except only the Incarnation of Christ." In the seventeenth century, Lallemant's phrase seemed to make sense. Today it has the ring of madness.

  9. nyse you keep it exciting ;-).
    I figured out that you modified parts of Sun Tzu's "The art of war" - XIII The Use Of Spies, but I can't solve your puzzle.

    But I'm just 20 y/o and enjoy your entertaining wisdom ;-).

    I am glad you are enjoying it rookie, as enjoyment is half the battle:D

    You are lucky that you are only 20, and you are starting to think a bit differently - most leave it much much later, and by then the energy and required commitment is greatly diminished!

    One of the best pieces of advice you can get, from anyone, is;

    "nothing is ever as it seems to be"

    Keep this in mind and you should find it a lot easier to gain the "required" experiences.

    I think another apology is now due!
