    Why scalp:
    - dozens of great opportunities every day
    - much easier to make very short term predictions than long term predictions
    - providing liquidity --> market compensates you for this over time
    - minimise risk (very little time in market, usually just a few seconds)

    With such a rigid and dogmatic attitude you might do pretty good as some kind of religious extremist. In the markets however, you wont survive for very long that way. You wont even have to wait for the "long term".

    Trading is not easy. Its not everyone's bread and butter. If everyone could trade, then everyone would be millionaires. The company is a volatile and toxic place. There are many factors to consider before investing in the market.

    Three pushes, or more, up or down, or both, in a sideways PA movement are a triangle REGARDLESS OF HOW IT LOOKS. Classical tech analysis would not call it a triangle if it doesn’t “look like a triangle”.
