The Bucking Bronco

If I may and always with fraternal intentions:
my advice is to respect the Rules when one decides to draw diagonal TL.
Question of millimeters and everything changes...

here... the main rules.

DAX. Retest of the low.
And now we will see her intentions... maybe! Be careful.

Even if I don't like to trade NY and WS.
Bought 340... Scouts and stops below. No need to write it.

Don't follow me. I'm mad and have a lot of profits to invest.

Hit... we'll see. Anyway interesting.

if this were not a public forum there would be a lot to talk about a move like this one.

Time to go... CU

Dedicated to you. Expressly.

It's the second time that I detect something in you that I don't like.
There are still a lot of things that you need to learn... but I've already taught you too much for free.

Nothing new under the sun. Unfortunately. Discussion impossible. I have no more hopes.

I always wrote everything and I didn't hide anything about my thoughts and Trading Plans..
I showed my live blotters to eyewitnesses here today! With results even more surprising than usual.
All I have and had to say is in my previous posts for the people who know how to read...
I no longer want these discussions here.
There are no reasons to waste time and space for nothing.
I will use my "Ignore List" immediately. Full stop.

Post #1 - Rule n°1 – This is my journal and I'll do and write what I want.

This is not an educational course or a rehab!

Another pleasant day here on Forex Factory.

Did I approach this Bear move with "an empty mind"?
No I didn't.

Did I followed my rules? Did I "flow as water in the water"?
No I didn't. I tried to be smarter than the Mother Market.

Could I be happy about my profit (the infamous bottom line)?
No I couldn't. I violated my Moral Law.

Cognitive psychologists emphasize that we see what we want to see: we are all prisoners of the mental maps we create.
Once a trader forms an opinion, he or she is more likely to overweight information consistent with this view than information that is contradictory.

Some years ago there was an interesting research study from Harvard psychologists.
They showed people a film of basketball players passing the ball to each other.
During the film, a man in a gorilla costume walks into the middle of the action and stays visible on the screen for about five seconds.
One group of subjects was asked to count the number of passes among the players;
the other group was simply asked to watch the film.
Incredibly, 56% of the subjects who counted the passes didn't ever see the gorilla.
Of course, everyone asked to simply watch the film noticed the gorilla man on the basketball court.

The practice of Zen teaches that it is impossible to add anything more to a cup that is already full.
If you pour in more tea, it simply spills over and is wasted.
The same is true of the mind.
A closed attitude, an attitude that says, 'I already know', may cause you to miss important information.
Zen teaches openness.
In my posts, I always called it 'humility'.

Do I know why all that happened?
Yes. I perfectly know all my "Demons" (fti's scorpions).
Only that it happens that ... to respect The Moth's Commandement I can't write more than this. LOL

Moral of the story: "Know your enemy. Know yourself".

Know your enemy. Know yourself... and use your "Ignore List"!

For the willing and diligent student. Not for the ignorant and arrogant ones.
These are DAX m5 recent waves... Yes, I played Contrarian (but never blocked in a Buying mode )
This is what I got and banked: TRADING LIVE. All the legs marked with Green Lines.

Nothing more to add.
Wanna have a serious conversation? I have almost lost every interest in the possibility of having one, here.
Are you able to count points and to think? Try to connect your brain and see the true truth (without offending me!)

... and do you see the pattern forming? And what is going on?
Remember that I'm not a Guru.
I'm a humble and respectful student of the Markets. I'm Mr No One. I am often wrong but never in doubt.

For the last time: to me...
one thing is to comprehend the direction of the move,
another thing (different one) how to trade that move.

There is only one side of the Market!
There are different ways to play in/on/through it. FULL STOP. (and that is just me)

With the correct mental road map you could have different opportunities and different possibilities.
And one could be more safe and more profitable than the others.
It's up to you to decide what to do in every single moment.
You decide (if you know what you are doing)

Hoping I made myself clear.

Time for a bit of Bach...

This is a public forum.

it is very likely that I have underestimated the attractiveness of a particular TL on the daily chart (and we will see it in the coming days)

But the main problem that I want to highlight is that ...
for the particular conformation of the PA of this move it is possible to make more points on the Bullish side.
Study the opportunity of add-ons in this move.
(noting that the second Bearish entry in the correct downtrend is very risky and demanding)
I made a killing going long (always with the correct exit and never overstaying) and posted the blotter live before witnesses.

Another consequence of the Complexity of the System.
Frankly, I'm too ignorant to say more than this... but of course I have my personal opinion about the reason why.

The theoretical dilemma is present in Livermore, Gann and Edwards&Magee... so it is not a Jupiter's mistake.
But you must know - PERFECTLY - how to play S and R.
I can give you the Magee page number... but my answer is : find it by yourself.

Trend.
What really is a Trend?
When is it your friend?

Dow.
What are the consequences of his Theory?
Why am I talking of Advanced Dow and Basic Elliott?

Why I insist in the correct understanding of the Forefathers' Lesson?
