{quote} Same here. To me, the hardest part of trading is wasting the time. I use the word waste because if it's not giving comparable returns per hour, it make no sense to trade. Might as well invest instead. Cheers
Agree, and there's more than just money to those "returns". Unproductivity aside, wasted time simply isn't either stimulating...

And for deterministic systems it is very difficult to correctly simulate/infer "randomness" coming from quantum mechanics (physical "reality" with predictable precision (almost like a paradox or oxymoron). Financial markets are simpler than that, though... but can become even harder than "rocket science" (because it's a game of incomplete information [like Chess vs Poker], so yes, probabilities, probabilities, probabilities).
Viktor, trading has been an intellectual challenge for me besides the vast unbridled opportunity it offers. My aim is to build a quantified terrain that "randomness" operate - a market ecosystem. Don't take it as a claim, just to give some clarity to what I try to do.

For probabilities, I do serious research work into this roulette game. Impossible is where I like to challenge myself. I don't smoke, don't drink, both this is my dopamine. Cheers

I forgot to mention "challenge" in the post #3,078... that's also part of the "return" to time spent... but I just tend to enjoy more other things in that respect.

BWilliam. Ultra high-ceiling monetary opportunities, but a that cost? For some people it's much higher than for others, involving different "resources", like time/experience (the most valuable), currency to risk/lose, knowledge (past, current or even pseudo-future), intellectual ability and technical proficiency.

I really hope you can achieve what you seek. I'm sure it would be very fulfilling and satisfying, aside money.

EDIT:

* Of all psychotropic/psicoactive substances (including alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, stimulants and dissociatives), I only love the non-toxic "classical psychedelics" (more serotonergic than dopaminergic) for "introspective therapy", coupled with mindfulness meditation (outside all that contemporary new-age "spiritual/esoteric" mumbo-jumbo, so romantic to many [just my opinion, without intending to offend anyone]). For pure dopamine, nice food and physical activity (from sex to exercise/sports) are my favorites. And for intellectual stimulation, there's just no enough fucking time for me to pursue all what I'd like.

** Trading, somewhat like poker, is much better (realistic to react or "predict") than roulette, but still far from "chess".

For roulette I study anomaly inside random, it's oxymoron.

{quote} so fixed ratios and "distances" are not the best idea...
Good point.

The little red boxes and large green boxes that tradingview traders use. So retail, the logic being the target must get hit because the box is green and fixed.

BW, just a question. If price moves 50 pips from opening but returns near to the opening at the end of the day: 1. did the market made a statement to go higher; or 2. it is as if there is no statement at all and price has the same value?
Or the book had to be corrected because it has to?

Well, roulettes component pieces and balls aren't microscopically balanced, and the human hand throws of the balls can't be measured, so they become truly random after a long-enough (not so long) set... at least for us to measure, with complete information of the physical system, down to the quantum levels, plus a quantum computer powerful enough to simulate it and further predict it... or a very VERY powerful deterministic AI, running in classical super computers made from millions of cores or thousands of GPUs, working in parallel (wow, so much electrical energy), with ultra expensive censors for gathering detailed data, to then extrapolate to millions of iterations... lol, or maybe I'm just crazy, or stupid.

If there is indeed a Master Algo inside a controlled space, why should it correct itself? Isn't it already efficient?
The market hides a perfect geometry.

THERE'S NO "MASTER" ALGO... that's the sum/result of what they chose to name that way (the combination of multiple participants, balanced/coordinated by several order-matching algos, with other algos trading along humans; there's different kind of algos, some in coordination, others not)...

Do you know what's a technical indicator (the ones calculated only from price and time, averaging/smoothing only the PAST)?
All that classical "TA" is just like trying to use astrology to understand astronomy.

Come on, don't be so simplistic (not talking about simplicity nor simplification).

Sorry, I have nothing to say towards this nonsensical assumption about me, contradictory and almost comical. Yeah, each one believes what they want
