OFF-TOPIC RANT.

In the Modern Era (not to speak of our greatness from Cicero through Machiavelli up to Gramsci)
Italy has always been and it is an extraordinary “Political Laboratory”.
One of the “Cradle of civilization”... was able to produce one after the other:
Fascism,
Christian Party,
The strongest Communist Party of Europe,
At least two “Coup d'etat” proved attempts,
Several forms of Terrorism and carnage,
The biggest judicial proceeding (Official Court Process) on the corruption of Politicians and Parties,
20 years of Berlusconi and his “Bunga Bunga Party” (plus the”big Putin's bed” and some teenagers),
and now... the two strongest Populist Parties of Europe (one of them openly racist and xenophobe)
from this night (very possibly) at the Govern of the Country with Berlusconi's support!

Poor Italy. Poor Europe.
Remember that the European Elections are not so far in time...

I cry for my homeland. I cry for Its (sick and tired but at the same time irresponsible and thoughtless) People.
I'm half Austrian, but is not enough. LOL
The Right of Citizenship is “inalienable”!
I can't give back my passport.

(What to think about Eurodollar decline? Don't know... but "Market discounts everything!")

(Premise. This hit a nerve... and this is my freewheeling journal! Have I to be terrified writing the following text?)

ON-TOPIC RANT.

Search, search and search...
I bumped into this recent thread.
Reading the first post I thought... perfect!
I, in the end, have found someone that sees things like me...!

  1. There is not an “exhaustive” book... Unfortunately the Bible of Trading doesn't exist.
  2. No shortcuts. The important thing is our hard, unceasing, tireless PERSONAL work in assembly concepts and ideas... growing along the pathway, learning by that effort and suffering!
  3. Central question: how to discern real knowledge from snake oil salesmen?

As an advertising man... I thought: “Genius! You are simply a genius!”, “This idea is wonderful!”
I was so intrigued and excited.

But then I read the original poster's explanation (he is a “Red Label” one, a High Impact poster):
“The so-called trading best sellers,
are all completely full of shit.
They have no value, whatsoever.”

And, of course, I disagreed. Completely and with all myself: body, brain and soul.
And stopped reading, immediately,
Is there anything I got wrong?
I have written 80 useless pages trying to demonstrate the very opposite.
What am I supposed to do? Go there, discuss and open a real debate?
I'm satisfied with the battles that Mother Markets offers me, daily.
Everyone is free to think what he wants. As I said Market is the land of freedom.

Oh... yes!

Feared a deep PB and preferred to squared the first leg (leveraged positions)... building a new line.

Now... Scaling out @13.021... didn't like the Bulls' action. (Bad shape of H1 candle... )

I'm leaving some space to the price. Not pressing too much.

First of all, to say that all trading-book bestsellers are full of shit, you have to read them all. I doubt he/she did. Illusion of competence is prevalent among us traders .. lol
One man's truth is another man's lie. I dont like to talk about trading anymore... especially here on FF. It always has the bad taste of a religious debate. If someone says, "red is blue", I agree. Why should I fight?
You did an awesome job with your journal. Some people are willing to accept market dynamics and trade with them instead of trading their beliefs. Be proud of that
