    Oh dear; more confusion... :rolleyes:

    Then again:
    So people create their own method/style, based on the Obvious...

    OA,

    I use kind of ...... a mentally line..... You need a base to start from.

    Statistics are after the fact. They show you what is achievable. Nevertheless usefull.

    The OP said "all a trader has to do to make money in any market is BLASH or SHABL"

    The obvious pre-requisite, therefore, is knowing how to do this correctly?

    It sounds like you're waiting for the right place and moment to enter
    and then calculate a target?

    a loaded question..and i think it really depends on a lot of things..which include your upbringing..education..location..and what your social background is..pleb..professional..high society

    religion tends to play a major impact for the first two..not so much for the third..hmmmm!

    real history..well..the first has to be wars..the explosive changes that they bring about..and the massive amount of injustice and suffering caused to..mostly..the plebs!

    then we have religion..again..very similar to the wars..in that a massive amount of injustice and suffering..again..mostly the plebs..but all done in the name of a "good cause"!

    i think that once one has a real good understanding of what exactly happened..why it happened..and..why the plebs are always the ones that lose out most..then..it all becomes as clear as day..no need to wish..hope..and pray..any more !!!

    "a standing pr**k has no conscience" is more like it :)

    never underestimate the basic instincts..in fact..many have lost their lives because of same

    however..history has shown that no matter what happens..be it natural or man made destructive forces..there is an evolutionary step that still exists today..exactly as it happened many eons ago..so..even if all life on earth is destroyed..the back up will not..and the whole thing will just start over again

    the only thing that will really end the world..as we know it..is when the Sun fizzles out..and we don't have to worry about that in our lifetine :)

    that is debatable..as..if the majority of experiences are bad..then..we all know the answer there

    i think experience in itself is what comes from the application of knowledge..most learn..then apply..then can claim to be "qualified"..or.. experienced enough so that they can demand extra payment for the services offered

    so..the main point here..i think..is..what exactly was the "knowledge" that was acquired that led to the experiences!

    we all heard about "garbage in..garbage out"!

    and..we must never forget about 1598..or..for some 1575 :)

    yes..my last session of trades were roughly (without checking) around 15 winning trades in a row..they varied from about less than 1 minute to several days..possibly 7 or 8 days..i have not traded for several months now as i have some very important personal things that need my attention..i only trade when it suits me..my only interest in trading is to keep the money i make !
