The only way i would share my profitable trading systems is if: 1) I had made enough fortune to sustain myself, comfortably, for the rest of my days. 2) If i had nobody i could "will" it to upon my death bed (children,...). Other than that id ...

why do people share profitable systems?

Love your post!

why do people share profitable systems?

Its like when people gossip about someone you dont really know and if you allow it you end up prejudging them. Only until you get to know that person and judging for yourself it will all be distorted/missleading information. Im miles away from all ...

Extracted Thread (per thread starter's request)

Yeah this makes more sense (to me at least) but i think you have partly answered it already. What you actually want to know is which data can have a negative (or positive) impact on your trade. Question here is what data can influence your trade? ...

I know where your going with this since it puzzled me a lot (still does, but for other reasons not mentioned). But what your asking here is if its possible to anticipate the coming bends on a road when you havent yet reached the bend. It would be ...

A corvette isnt tuned for the owners liking...it is what it is. Maybe the seats (is he/she skinny, fat, tall, short..?). Then again, even this is taken care of for you. A corvette will self-adjust to the environmental conditions it faces, for ...

Thanks for your thoughts on the matter David. I guess another point im learning has to do with dissecting (if any) the underlying differences between a winning trade and a losing trade that both have the exact same visual pattern. You see, my point ...

X = infinite because the market never stops and never starts. What makes the market "finite" are the timeframes. But timeframes do not exist, they are a mere illusion that creates false beliefs about the markets. The reality is that market just move ...

Depending on who is watching, it will relate in one way or another to trading. It may mean something huge to one person, or absolutely nothing to another person. It depends on what that particular person is looking for.

This wont 'enlighten/inspire' you because what do you gain in knowledge/inspiration with such a question? What is more important than such question is what elements are absolutely critical in YOUR system so that you can automate it?. If ...

Nope. it wasnt really an issue about which one is real and which one is fake. It was a case of...providing we have 2 identical movements (yet one goes up and the other goes down) could you detect the underlying differences between them both? If so ...

Other than spread, timeframes are all the same. But of course someone with no proven statistical edge/s will trade non-stop till they empty their account. The only difference here is that higher timeframes will prolong the inevitable.

That is beyond the point. I want to see how others approach this from different angles, irrelevant of what CP says... Look at it as evolution. Everything evolves, sometimes for the better sometimes for the worse. I want to see if people are capable ...

keltner channel set to 10. Price goes from efficient to inneficient over and over again, clearly seen through deviations. Be it your a growth or value trader, you aim to exploit these reocurring inneficiencies in a consistant manner. The question ...

So you would look at the underlying tick movement of the m1 chart. When you say... ...what exactly would you be searching for... What 'indicates' a real move?
