Technical Analysis Fallacy

No need to cougar. Everything is in the first 200 pages. Charts aren't really helpful in understanding anyway. I used to wonder the same.
Keep reading it and you get something each time, then it all starts to fall into place.

Good Trading

imjscn sent a few emails to him, so far no answer.

I was not expecting
but my instincts say something bad befall FTI

regards
suma

I honestly say
I love him and consider him as a brother
not because he was taught how to trading
but because of his personality and sincerity

regards
suma

very rarely encountered a wise person like FTI
in public forums

regards

as far as I know he likes the song teng li ching <teresa teng>

It's sad to think that FTI will no longer be available to share his thoughts and perspectives of the market. Wherever he may be, my thoughts and prayers are always with him. He has shown us his love and passion for the market and he has unselfishly shared his winning methods/MO. It is now up to us to apply and continue to share what ever we have learned from him.

As to my experience, I've seen the ups and down in dealing with the market. But, the mindset that FTI has been instilling in us always carries me through to a positive result. Mostly, am on the rescue side, that's because of my stubbornness to trade counter-trend. When I set aside my personality and attempt to follow the direction of the trend, this work then appears to be easy. Am just sharing some thoughts...may our senior members continue to share their thoughts in regards to FTI's teachings.

Good fortune to all... -- jonyl

Enjoy and lots of love sent to fti where ever he may be.

Sit and wait until it comes FTI ... this fti taught?

After several years being trading I went to the conclusion that TA is only needed by those that need to be right, right from the start and have no patience. Their stop loss is hit rapidly. This was me in the past.

Now I know that knowing where you are and having patience, you don't need TA or any indicator. It's as simple as that.

Patient people eventually receive all things.

Hi N Trader


that is great news my friend , I am really very happy for you both, I wish you and your family many years of blessed happiness for the future.


Many many congratulations.




Hi jonyl pips


I know you have read the first part of the thread, but if your still having trouble with market direction re-read very carefully the first few pages, there are a few things there that help with that.

Hello Phil,

Thank you for caring enough to point me to the right source. Yes, I've read the thread, probably the whole thread, though haven't really read with thorough understanding. That was my aim - to internalize what has been discussed in this thread. Had to overcome my big scorpion - lack of patience. Though, most of the time my analysis is correct, I always get in trouble as I could't stick to the plan. The market's fake moves always throws me away. Am working to acquire the correct mindset, such as what FTI was trying to show us. His stories and examples have always been very inspiring.

Miss all those times when there was great interaction between the newbies and senior members, with FTI providing words of wisdom here and there.

Regards,

jonyl

Lets pray once again that he gets better and join here again, so that we can learn more from his wisdom on trading and real life.

Regards

Dear fti,

where ever you are,
what ever you might do,
with this thread you have changed my entire life to the better.


One thing I'll promise to you and all the other TAF friends in here:

1. I'll try to share all my knowledge, that I gathered about about trading during the past 4 years reading and discussing in here.
2. I'll try to use it to make the world a little little little bit better.
3. I'll also try to fight for some more fair trading conditions for us retail traders.

It is my way of giving back everything you have shared with us for free. And that are not empty words only. I have just started with my activities and projects. Everyone who wants to check it out, is very welcome to join in. Just drop me a PM here on FF.

I have the dream, that maybe in 5 years we can have a look back together and see, that some more people are able to make their living from trading. Especially in countries, where people need our help. It is so easy for us to show people how to fish. To be proficient in the art of trading makes it also relatively easy to invest in useful projects all over the world. All that has been made possible by YOU, SIR!

However - I hope you are doing well, dear friend.
We have had our disputes and discussions here in TAF. I guess that was inevitable from time to time. But you are still my most important teacher and master. I would not be able to "leverage" and push my projects without your art of trading.

Farewell, dear fti!

Your student,
Niels

p.s.: One song you shared with me during the very earky days of this thread. I love it...

Hi jonyl pips


'donsky' has a very good trading journal thread that he posts in regularly in the journal section, where you can see him applying fti's style of trading, it may be worth you looking at that thread to help understand a bit more.


Understanding direction is covered in the very first few pages (less than 5), research what is said there and you will have a far clearer view of market direction. everyone seems to have their own interoperation of market direction, I have found that it must be done according the time scale that you want to trade in (minutes,hours,days,ect), try not to think of time 'frames' but try thinking along the lines of 'price over time', I personally try to view the chart as the order book, after all is that not what it is recording.


I think most if not all of us go through the dealing with our scorpions stage, it is a struggle for everyone, do not worry your not the only one that has found it a real problem to deal with. I believe most people only see the attack/rescue at first and think that will make them good traders, but what good are bullets without a gun to aim them from.


Is that your set up in the profile picture? If it is, do you not find it is a bit info overload ?, my simple brain cell could not deal with all that coming at me at once.


Regards


Phil.
