Dislikedfor now yes let the market dictate to us what they want to do it might start with a counter trend trade to a support level then a move up so lets let the operators tip their hand and we will follow themIgnored
I know I keep referring to making the charts look like elephants. For those that might not understand my poor sense of humor or reference here is an explanation.
How hard is it to hide an elephant in a room in your house? I am talking an actual elephant in your room. Pretty dang impossible. You can't just hide it behind the lamp, couch, drapes or whatever. So the elephant is extremely obvious in the room. But their always seems to be someone that doesn't see the elephant in the room until 5 hours into the party. "Hey, who put the elephant in the room?" So my reference is to the fact sometimes there is an elephant in the room or on the chart and I just can't see it through all the other stuff on the chart or the forum etc. Therefore, I keep trying to force my chart to look like the elephant in the room that doesn't really exist. In other words, there is an elephant in the room, ie uptrend, I don't see and try to make my chart look like a different elephant, ie downtrend. Or any other reference to trying to find a set-up bar, entry bar, 123 etc.
Maybe I keep using a bad analogy towards trading. But for many things in my trading life it seems like I have been late to recognize the real elephant in the room.
