Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

Discussion in 'Risk Management' started by nysestocks, Jan 25, 2009.

  1. I’m gonna guess the most annoyingly obvious thing that is obvious is the trend is your friend. I bet that’s what the obvious is. I’m going to guess that everyone debates what a trend is for not so obvious reasons.

    Find the occasional advantageousness to fill your wallet. There are some, besides: the trend is your friend.

    Looks like I've arrived and the party is well and truly over! It took me quite a long time to skim read this, many photos are long gone and puzzles unsolved. Wonder what the door off to the left actually was? Risk management, horizontal support and resistance, what goes up must come down, engulfing bars and boxes? You tell me, I'm none the wiser :)

    There is nothing in this thread that will make you a better trader.
    864 pages and nothing that produces excess returns.
    Welcome to the world of trading and ET !

    You cannot know with certainty whether dexter is capable of finding gold in this thread.

    Very little can be known with certainty.
    Still we commit thousands of posts.

    Yet we all tried, even I. Hope springs eternal.

    I always find gold in these long threads. Truth be said I am just a better miner.

    Welcome.

    This thread trains us to read between the lines, look under the rugs and look at ourself in the mirror to find the obvious.

    I don't think @nysestocks himself knew either, otherwise he would not be asking ET's help, looking for a prop firm.
