im talking too much lol
but one more thing.............
in my opinion, if we havent gotten the mindset right, and we havent gotten the feel of the dance. its ludicrous to think that we can move on to rescues and attacks.
we are pointing a gun at our head.
personally i read the thread and took notes, learn to calculate all indicator formulas by hand, learned to do the phi, pi calculations lol, learned about the laws of motion, momentum, deceleration, speed, velocity and how to calculate all this, learned about candles, formations, patterns, harmonics, etc, learned about the forex market structure, correlations, re-read fti's thread, learned the dow jones theory, elliot wave, learned about macro economics etc...
read about psychology, read the AOW and almost learned it by memory re- read the thread
in other words i think theory should be sound, and indicators are not bad. some times we need tools, i use the tools that i feel are important for me to see whats going on in the battlefield, but never to predict or make decision because of them. i think i might drop my MA's,however im not sure yet, but i will keep my highs and low, and open for reference, i will keep in mind the ATR.
i was excited as hell when i found out that i can use my little abc pattern for observation ( i had no idea how price moved, i was always guesstimating by eyeballing it) now my scout is always in profit (i know FTI the ego, but i need to learn what works and if it works continue test it, im aware the market will chew me up and spit me out so i dont go putting in trades just because)
i try to think as a general, im in the stage that im feeling the dance with the scout to develope timing, develope experience, develop the feel for direction. and find ways to strategically place my scout, and rescue my scout.
i think the best thing for me was to just observe price and find a way to make sense of it. now i gotta practice practice practice
and re read the thread again and again till i internalize fti's teachings, then practice some more and experiment
if i decide to progress to pressing the attack and im not proficient with the dance, im going to take some big losses.
