So much trivial repetitive nonsense bandied about, it makes you wonder whether anyone actually has time to trade lol. Take the ongoing debates for example of using indicators or not. The fact is, that literally everything seen on a chart is supposed ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Am I a buyer, seller or neither.... what more is there a need to know! Make a decision, there's only 3 choices after all. Once a decision has been made, then run with it. Broadcasting whatever decision you make makes no difference other than to add ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Trading is a probability game and the more successfully proven any method is, then obviously the more reliable that method must be. Personally, I deal in simplicity, where the odds are in my favour for a positive outcome overall. For example, I ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Pretty much all technical trading needs some kind of reference from which a trade decision can then be made. Most use that kind of reference in one form or another, whether it be a level, a point or whatever in order to gauge a potential trades ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Entry into a market, any market, is obviously just a click, that part is easy. Remember, no one is cute enough to get the entry perfect and I mean no one. The thing is we don't have to be perfect, we just need to be good enough, and from which we ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

When we look at these types of forums, we constantly see hindsight gurus spouting off about what they did and what they won...whooppee do da. It is, or it should be, plainly obvious that it's practically all rubbish and and nothing more than wasting ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Staying with EJ, the 129 level is obviously significant and has been for a while. Market reaction there has occurred numerous times in the past and it's likely to continue. So, whilst I have a sell-off in mind as previously mentioned, I think that ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Update....no trigger yet to take the short on for me and I may have missed the boat.. however. imo though, conditions are still very good as the market continues to manoeuvre itself into position and strengthens my belief that a stronger sell off ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

As said previously, my theme of keeping it simple, no fancy stuff etc and in accordance to my own tap rules allows me to see things clearly and uncluttered which makes any market entry decision making so much easier and the only thing I really need ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Still so many threads with everyone thrashing around in the dark, no one looks to be consistently getting ahead judging by the multitude of systems that I've seen. Obviously a method, any method, needs to be unambiguous, easy to spot and therefore ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Thought I'd drop by and see what's going on. Hmmmm...bad idea. All I ever see here is over complicated trading methods and my guess is very very few are getting themselves ahead, mainly because of these over-complicated and ambiguous methods and the ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Its been a while.... Not much to say other than the usual suspects far and wide are still present waffling away, some are intent on telling their trading life story as evidence of their existence. others trying to convince others of their system bla ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

What a trader must realise when trading from a technical pov off of a chart is that what we see (in it's many differing forms), boils down purely to a visual representation of supply and demand. How we as traders use and interpret what we see is ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

We continue to see traders (probably demo in most cases I think), that hop about all over the place getting nowhere fast. I think they have no real idea of what constitutes a proper entry set-up. It shouldn't need the brains of a rocket scientist to ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Everyone who actually trades with real money on the line, will naturally take their trading seriously and all the forum chit chat bs not seriously. I conclude that all these serial posters are not real traders and instead spend all their time ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

With so many threads, opinions, styles, methods, strategies, etc present on all the forums makes it very difficult for inexperienced traders to become consistently profitable. Arguably, they are spoilt for choice, but more often than not they are ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Most traders tend to operate off of low t/f charts it seems, and they wonder why they win then lose, win then lose etc etc, the cycle goes on all day for many. They never get ahead, because trading low t/fs is really just an increased guessing game. ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Most of whatever I have to say doesn't matter to anyone else, so I'll keep this post simple and to the point. I'm looking to short in the rectangle soon, my conditions are in place. I can never know (nor can anyone else btw) how well it might pan ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

The structure thread which started off in the right direction, appears to have taken a wrong turning imo, whereby time was being discussed in a sensible manner, unfortunately though other factors, not least peoples egos, seems to have destroyed ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

As with everyone, I have messed about with this n that over the years to see whether there are any shortcuts to finding meaningful entry and exit signals. I personally found no shortcuts other than my core principle usage of tap, everything else for ...
