Different Market Conditions/ Sentiments

First, how many Market Conditions/Sentiments are there really ?

Second, how can one describe and identify those conditions ?

Lastly and most important of all is how do one trade those conditions after having correctly identifying them ?

My take...

People like to create nice neat little boxes to put things in: The idea of directional bias or sentiment is no exception. The neat little boxes are up down or range for a given TF, but what is a range? How many pips? Who the feck knows? The very idea of TF is a rigid and (IMO) an unhelpful constraint.

Sometimes a movement of 5 pips can change the markets sentiment.
Sometimes sentiment doesn't change until a range is broken.
Sometimes a bullish sentiment is created ONLY because prices are moving upward.
Sometimes the sentiment changes because of the time or news.
Sometimes the markets sentiment changes because of another market.
Sentiment can be complimentary or contradictory between technical analysts and fundamentalists, and...
sometimes can also be contradictory between traders of the same type.
Sometimes sentiment is irrelevant, and all it takes is one trading entity to overpower all others.

Considering the nature of markets and all that affects them, are there any specific 'sentiments'? I wouldn't count on it. No moment is like another, variables are constantly shifting, and this is why most traders lose their arses. People can't comprehend how many different influences there are on the market, and therefore the amount of feking work it takes to trade profitably.

PS. If your going to ask questions ask some intelligent ones that at least make you look like your up for doing some work. Your post was basically a fluffy version of 'Tell me how to trade'.

RE. 'Please be aware...' ROLF.

Its to a wise man honor that his heart guide his mouth and he always avoid strife while all fools are quick to quarrel.....

Quote from the BOOK.....

But maybe your a nonce, and the 'fools' are really telling you what you need to be told. Your coming across as one of those religious self-righteous wackos so I'm out of this thread now.

PS. I'll tell you right now... nobody is going to give you what you need to become profitable. Some may offer, but their deluding themselves with regards to how bullet proof what their doing really is.

The synopsis of your question is essentially 'teach me how to trade', you then follow this up with a threat that replies which don't meet your, no doubt, demanding standards will be dealt with harshly. You've pretty much got your douche bases covered there, was this the impression you were hoping to create?

I did it again....oh never mind.

Well, I will first have to learn how and the best method to share/impart my trading thoughts and ideas. So until I first learn how to do that, I will never be able to articulate my thought processes and put in across in the right way.

Sorry for the mess-up again.

I will do it right the next time if and when I have learnt.
