BlueHorseShoe pretty much nailed it in post #7. I’d add that “Noise” isn’t noise to everyone in the exact same way… so If, for any reasons, you want/need to see and include inactive times (, congestion, small corrections, and… etc ) in your work, then time based charts are the way to go… else if you need to filter those patterns and use representations that emphasize movement, then the non time based charting methods are the way to go… Inaccurate filtering, in general, degrades the pattern recog performance of many traders. Joshdance just said it succinctly - “what view of the market do you NEED to see? “

Did you ever consider that if your "unconscious competence" >|: is making ‘uninvited’ attempts to ‘contribute’ that the tasks you’ve set for your "conscious competent" 'side' may be in slight overload or too repetitive ?

not exactly sure what you mean by "basis" … it was just some thoughts… not the fkn be all to end all answer if I'm paraphrasing someone can't reference it at the moment... … anyways, further reading would most likely be a misstep… a hindrance… :haha: maybe I was just looking at the venerable, trusted, old, reliable authority - the tao jones average ??? all the best

roztom, just some thoughts for you... and also approaching the limits of language comm btw Have you questioned your use of the word “conflict”?. There is no conflict betwn them. "conflict " is never an issue. Separation and loss of unity is the issue. All the experience of “conflict” occurs only in the "conscious brain" side as a result of the rending /separation Conscious competence comes from working to be focused progressively through the key aspects of a repetitive task on as many of your attempts at the activity as is possible. Selective practice, etc... UnConscious competence naturally and automatically develops as neurology grooves what to do. … btw As outcomes of activites become less and less ‘newtonian’ (like driving) and more uncertain / randomlike (like trading), it is increasingly difficult for uncon competence to emerge and be sustained because the ‘prediction and control’ links btwn perceptions and instrumental acts are not as solidly reliable… but Applying any willpower to the process of developing unconscious competence will actually impede it. Any judging will maintain the separation and divide and destroy the natural trust / union btwn them… and …Behind judging is the mistaken assumption that the whole is here to serve the "conscious brain" side. Judging is the apparently ‘easy’ way that leads to depletion ('gut' connections become tenuous and unreliable, etc… ultimately adrenal fatigue, etc. ) instead of the much preferred ‘flow’ / being pretty much on a roll all the time…( something most people / traders don’t even believe is possible, btw) The whole does not exist to support the conscious mind. The whole is there to support the whole. The best role the conscious part can assume is to 1) nonjudgmentally and as accurately as possible ‘re-create’ its representation of reality for the whole to utilize in its 'work' and 2) to simply focus on what needs to be focused on in the moment. The whole is more than adequately intelligent and can handle the ‘choices’ too. The whole system / the uncon is already ‘unconsciously competent’ at handling most every activity. It can handle more – much more. The trouble begins and continues when the conscious / ego attempts to appropriate roles it was never ‘created’ to do… One possible path - develop "conscious competence" in real time mindful awareness practice of simply being aware of when and how you are ‘judging’ . Example: note the difference between your thinking and inner content when you are just observing reality as best you can - and then when you are critically noting what you did wrong (as traders are likely to do on losing trades or as an acct bal drops, etc.)… Example: note when you are in effect ‘choosing what is chosen’ instead of attempting to control ... What are your alternatives to 'judging'? How deeply habitual is it ? ie How unconsciously competent are you at it? hth . barely, really really barely, related… but interesting… How to Think Like a Mad Man, Find your Edge & Risk Little for Lots - Gresham's Law

The Positive Benefits of Exercise for Traders
zdo replied to TheNegotiator's topic in Trading Psychology
Yep next time start a separate thread. thx Consider adding the various known eye nutrients – lutein, etc Not as directly related but I personally would up dosing of astaxanthin ! Consider herbals … high quality coleus forskohli (sp?) is the only one that pops into my head right now… ...basically find what works for you ... and work on getting off the prescription as soon as possible... plus high quality soft sensimilia cannib buds :rofl: just joking… not really recommending it (unless you have other conditions that makes it worthwhile to damage your soul…) (taking at least one day a week off from all of them, btw) hth all the best, zdo -

…the paucity of suggestions – sign of enlightenment or sign of barren conditions in the trading book field ? For the noobs, I will try to expand on what izzhamu was sort of getting at above. There is a relatively brief stage of trader development where ravenous reading is indicated… but…do not read trading books for content. Read trading books as a way to bring up into your conscious awareness from somewhere deep within you what you really already know… then you can make a deliberate choice about whether or not to act upon it. ...also, for many, it would be best to look for trading books about taking $ instead of "for Making $" :missy: thread r.i.p.

Maybe start trading and learn as you go…? YES X That is precisely the way to get your trading education. The best way to learn any performance game is to play the game for real. That is the best, most direct way to finding out what methods align with your true nature, to find out who and what you must truly embody to have staying power, what you need or want to improve upon next, to find where your current ‘blind spots’ are. Uncover / learn the vision of the trading you really want to do by actual trading. If trading is really for you, the discrepancies that will blatantly appear will feed you instead of discourage you. The hard work is you finding first if, then how, you fit with trading these auctions. The way you trade must naturally fit with the individual ‘oddities’ of your own perceptual comportment. Once you get really grounded in how you see things, in what informations you are interested in / consider important, what type of trading techniques are right for you, then guess what!? the right teachers will appear and that money will be well spent! Taking the courses first is bass-ackwards. I personally think you would be better off buying $500 of lottery tickets than paying $500 to “a decent educator who has a very good reputation”… not because of the educator‘s intentions or lack of quality , but because there is such a low probability that what he is teaching has significant relevance to your own nature and the styles, etc you will ultimately develop if you are indeed going to ‘make it’. (ie... just because some find what they really want by the raw juxtaposition of their slowly appearing vision with the 'reality' of the attractive and inexpensive trade school they chose does not make this kind of $500 'education' the best way to find your way...) Life is short. If trading is for you, the average of 10,000 hours, (ie 3 – 23k hours) will be a labor of love and throughout you will be getting much more out of it than just the money... if that's not happening for you, find some other game to play. Life is short. "Find your own way!" zdo- 169 replies

I get it...you're above all this... it doesn't involve you... smith altmarket “...we are here dealing with a totalitarian state of which the philosophy included an utter contempt for the individual... any freedom of thought or action was inconceivable in the Aztec world... dependence and instability were absolute, fear reigned. Death lurked ceaselessly everywhere, and constituted the cement of the building in which the individual Aztec was prisoner... Clearly the spirituality of some aspects of Aztec life must have sprung from an old pre-Aztec tradition, later betrayed...” Laurette Sejourne (‘Burning Water’) The life of a nation, of a culture, is sustained by very few but very critical social circumstances. These pillars must stand strong, maintained with the utmost care and caution; as one would fight to maintain the beat of his own heart. If these vital foundations are dissolved or destroyed, the nation and the people contained within are subject to the most heinous of generational afflictions. The citizenry and all that nurtures their progress, begins to die. Slowly suffocating in a corrosive atmosphere of dishonor, men turn toward pure self interest at the expense of their greater selves, giving rise to hatred, desperation, and an environment of disturbed malleability that is easily exploited by those who seek power. Eventually, the entire edifice comes crashing down, sometimes so far into the pits of black and terrible times that it is all but lost, even to memory… As I look out past the near horizon of this time, and this nation, I see considerable potential for a revitalization of that which is best in humanity. I see a population that strives for independence. I see a return to the entrepreneurial spirit of discovery. I see unhindered freedom of thought and action feeding a fire of creativity that inspires us to unimaginable heights. I see new expression given license not just by the masses, but by structures of a government which truly follows the will of the common man, and not the will of an elite few. I see America breathing full, eyes wide open and alive. However, this potential future would have to come at a considerable cost. America has so strayed from its founding roots that it now hungers; starving for lack of nutrients from its natural soil. As with all other catastrophic societies of the past, we have been manipulated and conned into overlooking and over-rationalizing astonishing injustice and in some cases, unmitigated evil. I frankly don’t know what else to call it. There are some acts of malevolence that go beyond human weakness and inadequacy and reach into realms of calculation that are so cold, so soulless, there is simply no other way to describe them. These actions and attitudes tend to run rampant in dying nations but are rarely singled out and criticized by those in the midst of the great fall. Each begins with the loss of particular principles and inherent morals that are normally prized under more healthy circumstances, but are despised in times of chaos and uncertainty. This begins with the rise of moral relativism. All Is “Rational”… The concept that our inherent conscience should be set aside at times in order to achieve a “greater good” is a long running philosophy that has led to some of the greatest evils mankind has ever witnessed. From Plato’s “noble lie”, to Machiavelli’s politics of subversion, to the Marquis De Sade’s insane fantasy world without self limit; such men and those who adopt their ideals have proven that intellect alone is no magic ticket to a well balanced society. Indeed, intellect without intuitive conscience can be a tool for rationalizing the most horrifying of crimes. In America today, we have quite a few moral relativists at the helm of our government, and many more who would advise them. Ralph Peters, a retired United States Army Lieutenant Colonel and former campaign adviser to John McCain, known for his array of Islamo-fearmongo books and novels, is, in my view, a perfect example of the moral relativist in action. Talking points from his writings are parroted constantly by Neo-Cons and now Neo-Libs who feel compelled to defend Barack Obama’s continued blood-letting in the Middle East. Peters asserts that American troops and warfare tactics must become essentially as monstrous as the enemy we fight in order for victory to be achieved. This is excusable, in his opinion, because America is the “good guy”, and they are the “bad guys”: Countering Terrorism (Ralph Peters) April, 2004 Ironically, Peters often uses the example of Rome’s genocidal attacks on Carthage as a primer for his arguments, loosely comparing the “barbarians” of Carthage to the “barbarian” Muslims of his War on Terror. His position; that Rome was safest when they were absolute in their brutality. What Peters ignorantly overlooks (or perhaps deliberately overlooks) is that the fall of Rome was not hastened by outside “barbarians”, but by Rome’s own barbarity and stupidity. Rome’s elites provoked and gave birth to enemy hoards through their relentless acts of bloodshed across the known world over the course of centuries. America is set on the same exact path with the help of men like Peters; claiming that our principles stand in the way of our survival, and that all targets are fair game and all means are acceptable as long as we prevail. The problem is, as Peters admits, one should never declare actual victory in the War on Terror. Thus, by his own logic, there can be no conclusion, only an endless cycle of death perpetrated in ever more diabolical ways. Nations that take on this mentality of pure destruction without boundaries lose all high ground in the annals of history. It is not enough that a country or a culture should survive; it must also be worthy of survival. Recent debacles in Afghanistan, including the deliberate killing of 16 civilians (which I’m sure Peters would attempt to advocate), show clearly that the longer you try to occupy a foreign nation based on false premises, the more it will eventually start looking like Vietnam, along with the toll of madness and depression that overtakes soldiers after multiple tours of duty fighting a war that makes no sense to them anymore. Science Supercedes Conscience? In the world of Bioethics, Moral relativism has been refined to an artform, and the prominence of bioethical arguments is expanding considerably here in the U.S. The reason for this can be tied directly to the elitist adoption of environmental activism as a vehicle to promote morally relative social policies. The field of climate change continues to offer the most ample venue. If the very future of our planet is supposedly at stake due to the mere creation of carbon emissions, a product of almost every human action, then all aspects of human life come into question and eventually, lend themselves to taxation, regulation, and domination. Despite the fact that climate research labs like those at the CRU of East Anglia and NASA still refuse to release the source data for their experiments supporting their assertions that man causes global warming, and the fact that East Anglia’s rigged computer modeling methods were exposed through the Climategate emails, the Bioethics community continues to use manmade global warming as the boogieman rationalization for scientific tyranny. This includes suggestions of medicating the populace in order to make them more “empathetic” to the dangers of climate change: How Engineering the Human Body Could Combat Climate Change - Ross Andersen - Technology - The Atlantic The climate change dynamic invariably leads to calls for population reduction. Arguments have been recently presented stating that because newborn babies do not have fully formed cognition, they are “not yet human” and should be susceptible to legal abortion (of course, men like Steven Pinker, Noam Chomsky, Carl Jung, and many others have proven that there are multiple inherent qualities to children at birth, and Bioethicists have no idea how much of our personality is a part of that, but hey, who am I to argue with a Bioethicist): Bioethicists Argue for "After-Birth Abortion" | NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth For the ancient Aztecs, high priests used the fake threat of the solar eclipse and the swallowing of the sun as a means to control the people and force them to conduct human sacrifice to satiate the bloodlust of their rulers. In America today, we have high priests in the garb of pseudoscience who use the specter of climate change annihilation to seize similar control and condone clinical human sacrifice to satiate the thirst of environmental elitists for depopulation. It Always Ends In Cannibalism… People eating other people is just one of those aspects of extreme decline that the collapse of civilizations seem to illicit. It goes against all natural law and even our animal instinct, but in a land where principles are rejected wholesale, it can become commonplace. Most animals avoid turning to cannibalism because their very genetics demand that they continue the species. This is very difficult to do when one’s own species is self consuming. Even if conscience were never a question (which it always is), our very DNA should prevent us from such activity. When it does occur, with extensive participation by the general populace, it is a sure sign of a culture on the edge of a full-on swan dive into epic seventh circle of hell-style calamity. This is why anyone should feel rather disturbed and sickened at the news that companies like Pepsi, Nestle, and Kraft Foods are working with artificial flavor manufacturer Senomyx, which uses aborted fetal tissue in the creation of its products: Health Freedom Alliance » Aborted Fetal Tissue Used to Test New Food Additives The Senomyx patents which include fetal tissue use (HEK Cell lines that express hetero oligomeric taste receptors) can be viewed here: Patent Database Search Results: Senomyx in US Patent Collection Senomyx and the companies associated with it have made a wide range of assertions surrounding this practice. Some deny fetal tissue is used at all. Others argue that it is only used in the “testing” of certain chemical flavorings. While the consensus is that human material is not actually present in the final food products of the companies involved, I find it a bit disconcerting to know that dead fetuses are being used to test better flavor enhancements for someone’s next soda or slice of cheese. Regardless of how you may feel about the issue of abortion, you have to admit that this lack of respect for human remains for the purposes of profit when numerous alternatives exist is chilling. This news, along with the revelation that hybrid rice containing human DNA has been approved by the USDA, tells me that someone out there REALLY wants the average American to dive into at least lighter forms of cannibalism: The rice with human genes | Mail Online Given these developments, it is only a matter of time before present technological food practices take another step forward into even more questionable realms. Is the “Soylent Green” method of cannibalism more acceptable than the Aztec form of cannibalism? No. Ultimately, both stem from a complete lack of regard for life; a regard that usually keeps societies from tearing themselves to shreds over the rolling boil of a stew pot. Moments Of Clarity Lost… The above examples of undesirable trends are only a taste of the stampede of modern tyranny that we must brace for and defend against in the near term. The most important factor of all is to understand why a social condition causes us pain. In regret, and in sadness, that which makes us human is most distinctly felt. Our inner voice, once lost or forgotten, is difficult to retrieve. The ease by which the darker side of life presents itself becomes enticing, and, the good we were once capable of fades. America (and the rest of the world) is at the most important stage of historical life; the stage at which the people choose to leave all reason behind to ride the mangling tides of fate, or, choose to stand and fight for a clarity of sight one could only define as individual destiny. Regardless of the circumstances we are eventually faced with, one difficult truth remains; without a sense of honor and principle, there can be no liberty, and therefore, no society worth a damn. Some see this as a handicap in the battle for transparency and truth in our culture. I do not. In the end, HOW we fight is just as important as WHY we fight. The example we set is just as important as the ideals we espouse. The way we live is just as important if not more important than the length of our time on this planet. What we leave behind after the dust settles and our land driven forms remain but cast shadows in the minds of generations we will never meet, is what makes us who we are. Anyone who says that the “ends justify the means”, is not serving the future, but the moment, and that moment will be harsh and fleeting… Smith Lost Principles And Social Destruction

If memory serves - By the mid 80’s, the Chi Board of Trade sold what they called Liquidity Data Bank (LDB) data which the licensed MP dealer used to build the graphical profiles etc. For the first few years, hardly anyone used it for trading anything but 30 Yr bond futures, whose volume at the time dwarfed all other volume on all the exchanges including the spooz. Steidlmayer and Koy, for whatever reasons, settled on and taught MP using 30 minute time frame… most likely because that was a practical / ‘sweet spot’ time frame for building profiles by hand – which most serious MP traders did then. A short time later live volume was included in real time feeds but… through the years, legal intellectual property threats kept many charting providers from developing more user defined / flexible ‘profiles’, etc... emphasis on If memory serves

If you or others find it best to leave the distinction between the two blurry, on a continuum, in your internal representations that’s fine. I can definitely see the continuum too. However, I’ve found it is best for me to make a very separate distinction between the two – at first because of my own challenges to include both and switching between the two. Then later through a increasing awareness of how watered down, pasty pabulumy, and “off topic” communication gets in discussions about trend in general... not very helpful ultimately in the Beginners Forum imo True Trend Trading -determine trend - to determine trend use the simplest, dumbest method you can imagine or as complex a method for determining trend you can devise… it must just be barely good, ie You’re method for determining trend does not have to be great! -if up, go long if dn, go short -(pile up the losses and) wait for outliers - period Trading With Trend -includes every method that in any way considers trend but does not necessarily fully and totally and completely depend on trend -includes trading in and out in the direction of the trend -includes trading with “trend” direction in the back of your mind -includes trading with “trend” direction part of the system … swing trading… top down multiple time frames… etc… etc… Entries and exits ( targets, stops,etc) are increasingly precise going towards the ‘Trading With Trend ’ tail of the ‘continuum’ – no matter how they are derived ( arbitrary, PA, divergences, statistical/quant, fundamentals, news and events, whatever) (… and yes a trade may, by chance, participate in an outlier move - but the day to day goal is to exploit day to day / non outlier opportunities) Entries and exits!!! Wycoff, Hershey, Williams… to name just three examples that happen to pile up huge post counts on TL…Gann, Elliott, etc etc etc etc and others, and some not so famous xperts don’t pile up big post counts in TL, but ALL of them (and all of their re-inventors) are going for one thing!!!! - Optimal entries and exits!!! …biases exuding all over the place going into a position …biases exuding all over the place going out of a position… …considerations of contexts going in, considerations of contexts going out …and, yes, “mindsets” are all over the place too. not two but thousands of different mindsets are involved here. Yes the mindset of True Trend Trading is different … but the mindsets of the thousands of varieties of Trading With Trend are all different too… All require different ‘mindsets’ because each has different heuristics. ...Ultimately, the ones who recover fastest win…(another dang ‘shortism’... a 'shortism' is a whole book in one phrase :lookout:) Holding period / time frame is not a consideration at all in the points I’m trying to make…. his “controversy” comes because he serially follows and reports examples of successful traders and managers (who got that way by mixing all the mm stuff in, btw – see below) and tries to make money off publishing about it. ie his “controversy” comes from sliding all over the continuum we have been discussing - without admitting it. his “controversy” comes because he utilizes stirring controversy, mixed in with ‘motivation speak’, etc. to make money off it… so, in my first post, I just noted that nothing more is to be gained from his published material than from ‘wizard’ books or any other books that happen to have the “trend” word in the title or subtitle or introduction with the simple statement / 'shortism' ---- “In True Trend Trading, outliers ARE the edge.” --- Obviously it was unsuccessful, but primarily my intention was to make clear that distinction between the two ways…and once you get that distinction you don’t need any more Covel … re… We further careened doubly off topic by incorporating all the various MM stuff. It started with compounding. I added sizing. Then came pyramiding, etc…just the mentioning of MM weaves it into the very fabric what noobs see and have to deal with… pouring in dye about the benefits (and perils) of MM tricks clouds things even further. I went back and looked at the posts and , for me. it’s still not a stretch to see how many could read into it “Oh, it’s MM that gets trend trading over the top” . See how off topic plus more off topic we’ve gotten in the Beginners Forum ???? I really made the outrageous “is no requirement to enhance, support, etc” statement to pull it back to just one layer of off topic. The intention was to separate edge work from MM work. Also, most of us are writing without an editor on TL… and a bunch of us go for brevity in the extreme ...sometimes. MM does makes a big difference in trading - not just in “many systems” or just in "systematic (and not discretionary)" systems – in ALL systems, including those way outside this topic that don’t factor in trend at all and even those that intentionally buck trend, etc. … However - (and this was also covered above) First, a system must have positive expectancy to be an edge. No edge = no survival = out of business. To discuss how fund managers, etc. benefit from applying various MM techniques in general does nothing to clarify that or add to the topic- because each edge itself generates its own appropriate MM aspects ie you can’t just throw MM in general at trading. The correct sizing, compounding, pyramiding, scaling tricks of one system will not automatically transfer to other systems ie.. Functional MM cannot be developed independently from an individual system / edge or a 'portfolio' of edges. “mish and trade – that’s trading” at your own risk. btw SUIYA, I’m trying to point something out to readers – not argue with you! So, noob readers, think about MM in general if you must … mish the tasks of edge development and MM development together if you like – good freakn luck :helloooo: … :haha: So would you like me (unsuccessfully for most) sum up all the MM books in the whole world??? Here goes another ‘shortism’ - As a trader, you may survive and profit, but you will not thrive to the top top pareto in trading without cutting edge money management … Unfortunately that one will not obviate your need to read and study the MM material, like my first “shortism’ obviated the need to read all the Covel in the world :roll eye: :rollbrains: etc short story... Engineers in a company meet to work out some details of one specific process. Because a bit of controversy is attached, some senior people show up - uninvited and unannounced, of course. After that issue is resolved, a group stays to discuss the direction the company is headed. Some see the choice as two distinct directions the company could take – functionally, etc. Others see it all as a continuum… no need for any re-vision-ing or specializing… it’s all just general business… Long story short - rather than stay on the question of the two directions, the conversation is pulled increasingly to the multitude of varieties and idiosyncrasies within just one of the directions. When some of the participants attempt to steer the conversation back to the central topic of company direction, the CFO and his posse step in to try to dominate the conversation with issues aout finance … feathers are ruffled, etc. etc. … stuff… corporate stuff… business stuff… “This is stupid” is secretly running through the minds of many… hopefully a few turn in resignations and go do their own more focused startup… it’s the ongoing battle “nothing is off topic in here. path of least resistance is how we roll” VS “don’t give the devil a ride, he’ll want to drive”
