Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

And this is me

 

ah, RN can you do me a favor and give me some input on my previous posts and help me make sense of all this and tell me if i have the right idea or if im just an complete idiot

 

That may take some time W87, as your posts are like a story

 

ya i have a bad habit of trying to leech as much information from sources I see as valuable as I can for 0 cost, my apologies...as you will see in my reply to you NYSE

although you guys are probably the assholes taking all the money outa my account so you owe me goddamn-it!

 

NYSE

Could you please give me your opinion on how one might acquire these "Skills” a person needs to succeed in the trading profession?

If all the "books" and "courses" are of limited value, what other options does one have?

PS. Nice Pics.

 

No Sir

For a few reasons

1.) I respect what NY is doing here too much

2.) I consider NY a friend although – I’ve never met him and we fought like cats and dog the first few times we talked

3.) You want the reward – do the work – a few of us have (blunt but true) Sir

This thread is not about "how to trade" – never has been – It is a very clear and concise (at least to me) guide to being a trader, and how a trader thinks..

It is invaluable to those who do the work – it’s a piece of trash to those who don’t – but I already knew this – dare I say possibly even before my mentor / guru did

Respectfully
RN

 

A strange thread...

No bad - just different.

I watched the bird video and as for a "reason" the bird stays - it looks like he is staking territory -that he has an advantage there and is standing his ground, watching for challengers. If there is another bird nearby who is chirping away, he has likely been displaced by the bird in the vid who has some advantage (size perhaps). I don't see a broken/hurt foot that was mentioned as a possible reason he stays perched.

As for Picasso's Night Fishing at Antibes, there is the most "obvious" image of the one fisherman about to make a killing, seeing the fish clearly (bigger) in his sight, while the other sees where he thinks the fish to be (smaller) and will come up empty - looking where the fish WAS - the way water refracts light and displaces an image from it's true location.

 

Quote from TraderD

Aside from all of our "context" issues, do you see something inside the orange glow. It's located right near the top, just left of center. Is there a little tiny "Hitler" in there? If you try hard, maybe you can see the top of a little Hitler head, and maybe a bent arm. It could also be a smudge where he picked up the painting while it was still wet, but it is more fun to think that he put a little clue in there just for fun.

Also, even though his subjects look as if they had an unfortunate encounter with farm equipment, I find myself staring at Picasso paintings for an unknown reason. Yet, I can honestly say that I do not like them.

NYSE,

Can the "Obvious" be possibly learned, or must it be bestowed.

Also, in my trading, I make heavy use of wave expansion. Should I investigate the 2-8-1 reference or will it take me places I need not go. (ie more rubbish)
