    Yes RN, but one could say, with high probability, that the vice versa falls into the 10% category - so that is the time to use some of that small pickings to stuff the piggy bank:D

    My two big eyes ATTACHED to my big fat head and a size 12 boot :D

    I will post a link to a short video - when you watch the video you must reply with a post as to what you "think" is going on.

    The answers will vary for those who will partake, but there is really only "one" answer that is correct, and I will then explain later on why the "one" answer is correct.

    If you "stop and think" you might get it, but it is hard enough to get, so if no one gets it, it will not be unusual!

    And that is fine, what is, is!

    I used to think like that, and I thought that I knew all there was to know about "trading the open", with my 10 monitors and 2 additional order entry screens:eek:

    Then, along came a little worm, and the little worm had a knack of surfacing just before the rain came, and there he could be seen, in his glory, soaked wet, and not a ray of sunshine in sight to burn his little wiggly ass:D

    I asked myself, how did this little worm know the rain was coming, as I could not see a dark cloud in sight :eek:

    It was "obvious" that he knew something that I did not know:D

    Number 3 is not the one I would pick - and let me explain a little why!

    I had, say since 2002, developed an interest in many of the topics mentioned from the 1 to 6 list.

    In that sense, I did not need to read any more "stuff", as it had been well absorbed by the 3 lb of grey matter.

    But, I was still lacking the "something" that would make "all the difference"!

    The "X Factor" was eluding me, and it was annoying me so much, that I decided to take some drastic actions, and, started out along the "all of them are idiots" path:D

    Lo and behold - and if you think I am "mad" now, you want to see me back then:D - I suddenly started to find myself conversing with, what others were calling, "strange people".

    But, the facts of the matter were as such, that these people were far from "strange", they were in fact, more in tune with the "reality of trading" than any other people that I had met to date - and to this day, they continue to be the same!

    Any guess what MY choice is now:D

    Yes RM, but traders are fortunate in a way, as the negative feedback loop is constantly in full operation - and it is simply the bank account balance!

    If a trader is not making money then it is "very obvious" that there is something wrong!

    The only way to change something that is wrong, is to do something right, or several things right, depending on how many things are wrong!

    And, as the negative feedback loop never lies, it should be very easy, yet so many find it so hard to effect change!

    Not the door I decided to open, RN.

    Throughout History, (Oh No!, here he goes again:D ) we have seen that "something big" does just not come out of nowhere!

    People get on, when and only when, they;

    _ _ _ t

    _ _

    _ _ _ h

    _ _ _ e

    _ _ _ _ _ d

    _ _ _ _ _ e

    sorry, no hints for 2 or under:D

    BTW - this is just me, as we are all different, and we all "think" differently!


    Ah, the video is now uploaded, let me post it and we will see what happens:D
