You try to find logic?
In a month were all major corporations come out with their 1st quarter earnings releases?
And in a time were we might, or might not, see "glimpses of hope" for the economy?

I wish you luck finding logic my friend

Shamu,

Thanks for your concern. I really appreciate.
Believe me there is a logic. I am no sharper, but love to play with if I find one. It is easier to win from cheaters than honest. If there is hope (or its illusion), market will move in one direction. If there is no hope market will move in opposite direction. This is all I look for. This is what going to happen. My system requires no more than that.

I don't get it why bias is so important.
If your bias is a certain way and you trade on it but you have to put in a 200 pip stop to make it work? What sense does that make for anyone other then long term traders. And most of the traders here are not long term traders.
For a "50 pip a day" trader, I think bias is totally unimportant. Just get your 50 pips with a realistic s/l.
How many times do you really get a 250 pip or more trade and bring it to a good end were you really collect 250 pips?

Very good points. I totally understand your point of view

Now let me explain mine

My trading heavily relies on strong support/resistance levels and how price action behaves around those points...what patterns emerge and so on. Now since I dont use any indicators I have to mentally interpret the most likely outcome of what will happen when one of those strong S/R points is reached. Bias is the way to do that...the psychology behind pa and w/e news is coming out that particular day. Doesnt matter what tp target is whether 5 pips or 50pips...those levels of S/R is what gives me entries and my entries are developed through my bias.

....... my entries are developed through my bias.
Excellent.

If I correctly understand it means that economic conditions set one's bias and technical analysis/chart reading etc. tools help in deciding entry and exit points.

Correct (dont forget psychology behind pa in my case). This is why I always say...you put the same chart in front of two different people they will almost always see something different. We may all be aware of the strong S/R levels but while one person may short the other may go long. Thats where strategy comes in and while for some it is based on indicators only, for people like me it is based on ...bias.

Easy example is...lets say this potential h&s I mentioned was an inverted one but my bias was still short. I probably wouldnt take a long position but I may not take a short one either. Its all in the eyes of the beholder

But I'm a longer term trader
For a longer term trader I think it makes perfect sense.
I just wish I had the patience for long term trades, because i really see the opportunities.
Like Monday, the last trade I made before tax season really hit hard, I was short @ 1.3386 with the biggest lot size I've ever made, a fantastic entry point. But as the time went along I put my s/l lower and lower and I finally got stopped out @ 1.3372 for 14 pips gain.
If I would have had my s/l @ b/e and with patience I would have had more than 200 pips.
And my account would have grown more than 30% in just 1 trade.
