Human nature is beginning to strike our beloved SSBO thread. This thread was founded upon, and was always about "Its so easy its hard" and as Fields said "not a game of chance the way I play it." There were lots of charts showing completed trades and everyone was happy sharing their successes. Now it seems like all we hear is about how to "tweak something that used to be an easy concept and make it way more difficult (than it has to be in my opinion"), look at all kind of boxes that go all over everywhere, and listen to a lot of people chatter about complicated stuff that doesn't earn them one pip in a trade. I believe we are on the verge of making something simple into something extremely hard. This reply came into focus with me when I read FxH last post where he asked if you would rather focus on the take profit or the stop loss. I always want to focus on the take profit and having a simple chart. I still only draw cz by hand. I never want to change. Watching the market to me is more interesting than trying to achieve the unachievable with some 10 million combinations and permutations of indicator settings. Frankly some of these posts make my head hurt for some of you guys. Please, for the sake of our beloved thread, don't keep trying to make everything hard that used to be easy. Seems like some of you are trying to build a computer to paddle a canoe (figuratively). But what do I know. I am just an old part time trader who found something that is nearly perfect and I don't want to watch it get messed up. You young Einsteins can keep wearing yourselves out. I will just keep watching charts and pips. Good luck to all of you my friends. jm

To improve is to change. To perfect, is to change often.
