There are 40,000+ members on the forum and everyone has a unique trading style so I thought it would be interesting to learn about the many ways people trade here.

Many of us here follow trading systems from other members on this forum, some have created their own style.

In your post, please answer the following:

1. Who originally came up with your trading style? If it was a member here, give them credit. Say the name of the member, and the thread where they teach others to trade like them. If it was some other trading mentor/ expert, give the name.

2. What are the pros and cons of the system in your experience?

3. Are you satisfied with the results ?

You go first...
To improve is to change. To perfect, is to change often.

ok

Tim Morge was the one that inspired me to trade my particular style, however Dr. Allan Andrews was the original creator. I trade pitch forks or better known as median lines. Here is our thread http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=76597 .

Pros:
* It gives the trader the ability to understand market structure and behavior. * The risk reward is the best of any system I've seen
* The system has been around for 80 some years
* There is a mathematical reason why it works, but I'm not the one to best explain it.

Cons:
* If you're like me and have a hard time fully understanding market structure, you'll have an uphill battle.
* Like any system, analysis paralysis can take place


I'm not happy with my results, but there are many traders out there using this method that make millions. I'm sure some of those guys are on this very forum

Do you know saying " in every joke, there is a kernel of truth" ?

It is possible, that my mind process trends, S&D zones and so on.

But all in all, method I described, works for me.

I just sit there, breathing deeply and rhythmically. Stare at the price.

Keep staring.........

Wait for it.......

Wait for it....

Then my finger just presses "buy" or "sell" on it's own.

There is no mathematical reason why it works.
Hey, that's what I do

Nice!

Well I have been fortunate enough to realize several interesting correlations in between the market and daily psychological patterns humans present so I guess my system comes from my own 140iq

Basically it happens like this.. I was extremely aware of my surroundings as most days because I am very insync with reality..

I noticed my girlfriends tit was hard and I was like "hmm thats funny its not supposed to rain today".. but turns out the female breasts right nipple always gets slightly harder than the left before any upward movements in the market.. and the same is true for the left teet moments before just anticipating a downward move.


Anyways this is my holy grail.. I don't mind sharing tho because I know most traders can't get girls anyways so thats where my edge lays in trading.



Best wishes,
NY
