Marko, I am intrigued by your posts, probably because I have no idea what you're talking about :-) Could you clarify what your arrows are for on your chart? Are they just to show direction, or something else? I have not been active on TL for a long time so I do not know you but from others welcoming you back, you must be a long timer poster. I would love to get some clarification on what your chart annotations mean, if you don't mind!

Hi,

 

yes this is neither black magic nor rocket science.

 

I'll try to clarify how my current trading tactics developped

from Thales' original proposals.

Unfortunately it will take time, so I ask for some

patience on your side. My job is trading...

 

Everything has to happen in your mind, the charts are

just a reflection and a helpful memory.

 

Regards,

Marko

There are no indicators or hidden specials, nothing of the kind.

 

I trade just from the chart, musicians call that sight-reading,

but they more or less have the future on the note

sheet. Traders don't.

 

The strategy is: trade with the price to place where the orders (probably) are,

because you have to sell or cover in the very next future.

You need customers and orders to do that.

 

The tatic is: start with the first trend continuation after a 1-2-3 signal.

EUR/USD short, not realtime.

The Long from 06:30 is an illustration, was too early for me.

[Marko23 10]

As a trader, I provide a service to my customers:

I buy theirs longs and cover my shorts.

My profit comes from filling their orders.

 

The better my service for them, the better my profit.

Trading is a business, they say.
