Self-discipline = Key for Daytrading
TheRumpledOne replied to gethim's topic in Day Trading and Scalping
<--------------------------------------------------------------------> "Look, for example, at this elegant little experiment. A rat was put in a T-shaped maze with a few morsels of food placed on either the far right or left side of the enclosure. The placement of the food is randomly determined, but the dice is rigged: over the long run, the food was placed on the left side sixty per cent of the time. How did the rat respond? It quickly realized that the left side was more rewarding. As a result, it always went to the left, which resulted in a sixty percent success rate. The rat didn't strive for perfection. It didn't search for a Unified Theory of the T-shaped maze, or try to decipher the disorder. Instead, it accepted the inherent uncertainty of the reward and learned to settle for the best possible alternative. The experiment was then repeated with Yale undergraduates. Unlike the rat, their swollen brains stubbornly searched for the elusive pattern that determined the placement of the reward. They made predictions and then tried to learn from their prediction errors. The problem was that there was nothing to predict: the randomness was real. Because the students refused to settle for a 60 percent success rate, they ended up with a 52 percent success rate. Although most of the students were convinced they were making progress towards identifying the underlying algorithm, they were actually being outsmarted by a rat." P64 HOW WE DECIDE -
That's why I post charts first thing in the morning. All charts and gauges have timestamps.
-
My gauges show the opportunity - price within 20 pips of the daily low. My charts show the results - the entry is marked with a horizontal line. I have explained the GREEN RAT REVERSAL before but I'll do it again: 1) price within 20 pips of the daily low - that is OPPORTUNITY 2) red candle closes 3) green candle closes - note the high price of the green candle. 4) enter long at the green candle's high price 5) STOP LOSS IS 10 PIPS 6) Take whatever profit you can.

The charts show OPPORTUNITY and RESULTS. The entry rules have been posted. My stop loss and risk/money management method have been posted. You don't have to "figure out my method" - I gave it to you! Charts are posted to illustrate the method. There is no "taunting" except when someone posts something negative about me in my thread to get me to respond.

AND AGAIN...

Remember what H. Rearden said: Now, 2 patterns of market behaviour happen on a regular basis: 1) the price breaks to new high's (or low's) 2) the price reverses from new high's (or low's)

Nice run off the bottom

1) time frame has nothing to do with this. 2) the default parameters.

If you do not understand the reason you can not be both a red rat and a green rat then you are YALE MATERIAL:
