mong

all valid points. thanks head. given me something solid to think about. thanks db for the picture, todays late day sell off follows it to a T imo. so starting to see that thats where i should focus more of my attention. so i will take your advice and next week will concentrate on more productive endevours. excuse me fire , jason, and hunuka?? (whoever you are!! lol) if i came on alittle too strong or emotional. i'm testing the waters with different things/ways. sometimes productivly and other times less. as we do or as at least i do and the only way i know how to do. it may or not be upto speed or "normal" but i am trying and not giving up and with that i am happy. cheers, mong :doh: . GTA.

yeah i agree with that. wiat for it, slow down or talk to somebody. i don't know what i want (and am working diligently to find out) so slow down.... hmmm. maybe i should only paper trade, which is what i am currently doing. sure i'm one of those who get pissed when ppl try to help, but only b/c there comments come in hindsight after you get stopped out. if they felt so passionate and confident in there own analysis they would say as soon as someone called a trade contary their own opinions. this imo makes them cowards who want to see the wheather before they annouce the forcast. but that is another topic altogehter. simple hey :rofl: nice i like it.

BEAUTIFUL!!! lol

yea. i'm assuming the comments about trades i enter. no (empathetic) . i don't focus down to that detail (which my original question sort of was about , np.). the trades i been sharing lately is more about an excercise in ego control and getting to know myself. by sharing it puts it out there. i lose face when i'm wrong and feel giddy when i'm right. of course the goal is to be right more then wrong as when being wrong often will attract comments from other ppl who aren't comfortable with what you are doing (why-i have no f'ing idea). i have found that good traders who are confident in there ability will rarely raise an eyebrow about this! (either you can trade - pro, or you can't - noob) there really isn't any middle ground unless you consider years experience as some kind of morphed middle ground. ie. (your either make money month in month out OR you don't) so that makes me a noob with a few years experience . at the end of the month i don't have more points then at the beginning (i know its rocket science...) so a. i'm paper trading and b. my strategy is always changing. as you know, strategys from unsuccessfull traders are always changing. they are constently experimenting with new ideas/things read/ information/ etc.. always searching aways putting in "effort", always being inconsistent trying to be consistent! its a paradox - much like trading, s/r, pa, dvg etc... my goal is to settle things down to where my strategy does not change and i'm winning more then i'm losing, that imo will "fit" my personality and maybe many other ppl too, but that is there business. my original comment to you was me fishing for "simplicity" for what you dubbed is "a tall order" i've heard you promote it in the room and thought maybe you could share some of these "simple" ideas' you have developed.! cheers and thanks for your comments, marius. GTA. hanuka - wtf is that. i've never seen him in the room. but ok we are good friend apparently. :crap: like i said - i'm a nOOb. so you'll have to forgive me!! heheheh

thank you very much HAKUNA. i appreciate your kind words and feed back. cheers, your friend mong.

" if you got in the trade at the right support or resistance level," -in and want to stay in -in and want to get out -out and want to get in well you want to know who's taking the otherside and therefore must be empathetic and place yourself in there shoes. this would suggest focusing even when its not about "your trade" otherwise you won't know where the hot spots are and in fact your energy/trade will most likely become it.

in and stay in, in and get out, out and get in, man. you want to have focus of a brain surgeon to think all about all that over 3 hours, let alone 5mins. wtf! thats a very tall order, more then most would care to admit i'm afriad! (i have trouble accepting that, but deep down i know thats probably a minimum to truly get the odds in your favor!) where does one start to break it down into simple steps which can be learned and habitulized ?! thanks, marius. :missy:

db, is this the right way to go about finding those important levels?? ta. mong.

hey D, refferring to 1st chart: was it the second test (3rd red dot) from the down side that made it an important level ?? or could you also consider it important for use after the first downside test? thanks, cheers marius (aka mong). nice work!

nice chart stan. when you say green line i'm thinking your talking about the longer downward sloping regression line (light green) and not the down sloping dark green ma.

i'm not sure how you want to trade that. frankly i think its a joke. i expect support on the extended detached tl at around 600. i'm also liking the rounding occurring at the swing pivots, symettrical and good looking. see attachement:

another video guys! http://www.marketmastery.com/video_6pack_risk_shield/ also a live seminar tommorrow about: Mind vs. Method: Getting Subjectivity Out of Your System not sure if the link will work so try it if you want. http://click.exacttarget.com/?ju=fe3116707d64077c7c1576&ls=fdf412717065017f731d7875&m=ff2e1271746d&l=feba1c767c650074&s=fdf715727060007f7d167871&jb=ffcf14&t=

this program is small and easy to use. not many moving parts!! ;-) i use it for standard recurring monthly reports, contract rollovers, options expiration weeks, television programs, even taking out the garbage. hahe. once you make the alert you can just activate what you need for the day/week/month. it's also a great program if you want to minise pc strain by taking regular breaks away from keyboard/monitor. alternativly you can also use your calandar function in mail.yahoo!! gmail and msn probably also have this function. http://www.tucows.com/preview/228675 its only one file : PersonalReminderEnglish.exe size : 449kb the file is shareware with no registration.
