I am eager to learn the science behind the curve. This is not same as Detox but perhaps, body's own way to eliminate the impurities. Kindly share the pdf and/or any related research. I cannot fast more than 8 hours. Growing up, whoever ate "slow" never got a second helping so that habit has stayed with me till today and my wife hates it whenever we go out for dinner. I am done eating in under 5 mins lol

I know people who preach and have themselves done water fast for 20plus days. Like you said first week is hard. After that body doesn't ask for food but you still feel energetic. However anyone thinking of doing it, it is a serious thing and very important to do it under the guidance of someone familiar with the process. Specially important is the process of stopping the fast. If you start eating full normal meal right away you can seriously damage your stomach. You have to start with some juice the first day and slowly reintroduce solid food over 4 to 5 days.

Fasting is NOT even a debate in the science community.
It's a Unanimous Verdict.

The very least one can do is to fast 12hrs daily or every other day.
Example:
Have your last meal of the day say 6pm-7pm.
And then only eat at 6am-7am the next day.

Very simple with compounding positive health benefits.

Thanks CP for the answers. I have been fasting like this (6PM to 8 AM) for a long time and feel generally quite good health wise.

However, what issues I have with is falling a sleep and stay a sleep the whole night without waking up number of times.

Would you have any tips or tricks for this one.

Thanks heaps.

How did you get fasting which is no eating, mixed with eating something like LCHF?

I, myself, am a firm believer in fasting, and as CP mentioned, this belief is heavily backed by repeated case study science and my own personal experience. Though I'd argue the bare minimum would need to be 16 hours, but this is dependent upon body type and physiology. Plus me just being argumentative. I fast a little over 3 consecutive days, bi-weekly. An example being having my last meal 8pm on Sunday evening and breaking the fast on Thursday after exercise. I have experimented and find this to be what works for me, as far as 'cleansing' my body and focusing my mind. During this I drink only water and occasionally green and/or black tea. I don't mean to boast, as everyone should follow what works for them, but I have found this to bring calm and peace to my mind, body, and soul. I have also found it to improve my discipline and be the master of my own willpower. I would encourage anyone to experiment with fasting to better understand the possible benefits.

Perhaps CP is a simple man who enjoys mudding the waters?

The more information I collected the further from the answers I wandered.

He was like the animal whose face he wore, able to sit in silence for hours, without moving a muscle, then flying like a raging storm into battle, returning again to perfect calm when the fight was over.”

Good-Bye Yellow Brick Road

When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

What do you think you'll do then
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

Like all of us, Cp is a human being, therefore is not perfect.
If you fill confused and going far from the truth, it's a good sign because you are begining to receive the right informations; the reason you feel confused is due to the fact that those informations are out of the box while your mind is still in the box.
It is a long way walk to your understanding but I can assure you that it is worth your time
and your work; so go on.

No criticism of CP at all StrongTrader.
All the gold is in posts to 71 after that who knows
.As a young man he was wise beyond his years,
it appears as time has progressed he has taken on some baggage jmho

Far from being discouraged I'm beginning to see the reality of trading.

Keep it simple learn to read price action.
Have faith in what I have seen happen over and over and act on the observation.
Thank you for your reply and encouragement.

{quote} hello CrucialPoint I was reading your posts and fasting drew my attention, I have a hard & good experience about fast and and I want to tell it for you, A few years ago: I got a very rare and untreatable disease and i came to many specialists for treatment but they did not help me, Because all the doctors and specialists told me That your illness is rare, and as a result medicines did not have any effect and i was getting worse and worse every day and was desperate and frustrated from everywhere Until one day on the Internet randomly saw...
Cool. Nice to read this.
I've got a question though. Did your activity and exercise decrease while fasting, or did it stay some sort of equal?

Curve-fitting the Moving Averages So far, different people use different numbers for the Moving Averages. I found out that people will tend to curve-fit Moving Averages. There was actually no solid reason as to why such value was used. ======================== Explanation: :nerd: People either forget or don't understand how Moving Averages are calculated. If you understand it, then you won't be curve-fitting a moving average that looks beautiful to you. The number used in a Moving Average is the number of candlestick bars that...
Good read on the hourly candle CP but I was hoping to read more in-depth analysis on the topic of "curve fitting".

My Perspective:

"Avoid" Curve Fitting is a myth and the worst advice one can give to anyone. Fitting the Curve or UNDERSTANDING how a pair or instrument BEHAVES is the CRUCIALPOINT to strategy development. It is the STEP ONE ingredient required to finding what works and what does not. You want to peel the onion, there is simply NO better way than CURVE FITTING. Yes, I am here to break the f*cking myth and hence using capital letters. Curve Fitting IS a must and frankly (although unsubstantiated with raw data and evidence at this point), I would shock the world by saying no strategy can be developed for long term consistency without going thru the process of CURVE FITTING so what is my definition of CURVE FITTING? And I am NOT referring to PARAMETER OPTIMIZATION to FORCE a Strategy on an infinite set of variabilities that a pricextime series presents. CURVE FITTING has NO PLACE as part of any strategy (reason why most EAs fail) but it is CRUCIAL to go through the exercise of filling the curve BEFORE any strategy can be finalized. If Curve Fitting "research" is skipped, one would simply NOT understand how the strategy will behave under ALL market conditions..... and this theory applies to ALL facets of life, business and in nature around us as well. One has to learn, adopt, tweak, learn, adopt, tweak a 1000 times before any simple strategy or "repeatable process" is developed. It is the CRUCIALPOINT in any algorithmic system development (machine learning, deep learning, AI etc). Curve Fitting is the closest thing to a Holy Grail if one can understand where I am going with this.

Traders have got this wrong! They curve fit the STRATEGY to fit the price movement. One must learn how to curve fit the PRICE itself and ALL you need is a collection of moving averages because one simply CANNOT escape the LAW of Large Numbers when dealing with large numbers! It will inevitably bite in the tush so it HAS to be the very first step BEFORE you even think about building a strategy which will last a life time and beyond. Did you go thru this exercise? I am 100% sure you DID during your 6 or 7 years of struggle! How do I know? Because that you HOW you discovered the 6 dimensions and how the moving averages or "averages of the average of averages" react to different market conditions or dimensions or whatever you use to base your strategy on. Smart Move! I don't blame you for keep this knowledge close to your chest. I will say this for sure.... during your time, you may not have the right set of tools but in this day and age, any algorithm or strategy can be reverse engineered (perhaps re-engineered is the correct term) given enough horse power and dedication.

EDIT: And while I am here, you are wrong about hourly candle being the universal hour for all candles. That may be the case for FX but not for markets that do not open at the start of the hour (same for news releases also). NYSE opens at 9:30am ET. It's by design. Why not at 9am ??????

EDIT2: You would be right if you said hourly on the UTC becomes universally synchronous time as it eliminates GMT Offsets around the world and most servers are designed not on GMT but UTC as the fundamental way to synchronize with the world atomic clock.

EDIT3: I still have yet to read all your insightful posts and I do that for a very specific reason. The journey towards enlightment HAS to come from within and NOT by reading books or following others. If you follow someone, you are simply limiting the scope to what the other guy knows. I come up with my OWN theories, research, understanding and conclusions FIRST and then try to validate with others..... like I recently learnt about Mandlebrot from fractalfreak after completing two years of research into fractal theory within the context of universal time. Your theory on dimensions is also based on fractals not based on time but based on "universal price behavior" within the context of finite market conditions. You have figured out the way to squeeze the infinite possibilities into a finite set of conditions driven by some rules that govern the laws found in nature.... SMART!

Hi CP,

I have been following you for more than 6 years now and I think i'm in a stage now where i can confidently say that i have understood most of the concepts you taught us and i'm able to implement them in the system... i know there are still bits and pieces of information missing like the dimensions and i have a vague idea about them but not sure whether they are correct unless you confirm it

i'm still looking to have a chat with you and i'm sure it will be a more productive one than the one i had with you years back and now i've improved a lot
i hope you still have my email id which we used to communicate earlier, if so, please let me know CP

CP will not reveal his strategy. even if he does, nobody can follow it.
