@Doc_kirbs you are where I want to be and am both working and trading my way there. Counting my parents and wife's Mom there are seven of us in my boat. It was only last year I stumbled onto sup/dem based trading. It was a famous author who's name I can't recall once said methods are many but principles are few. Understand the principles and you can successfully choose your method. What Sam teaches are principles. Principles that must be understood to ever beat this game. Even then it's still hard because the rules are stacked against us. This can be done as some in this forum have stated. It can even be taught by someone that doesn't trade as rightly argued by another. To the ones that say it can't be done....Can't never could do anything. When failure is not an option, then all sorts of things become possible.
My two cents to this is this...quit looking at charts for patters and quit looking at tools and quit listening to the news. It mostly serves to confuse the public. Start looking at charts trying to find the stacks of buy and sell orders. Take everything off the page and find the pivots then look left on all different time frames until you find the stack of orders. You won't find every stack at every turn. You will be shocked at how often you do find them but you do often have to dig them up by drilling down time frame by time frame. Then and only then will one begin to find the stacks of orders before price gets back to them.
It is difficult and it does take considerable effort to learn and understand the principles. It most certainly can be done though.
@Mingary to our friend Mingary 's point with all the junk out there he does deserve some proof of the power of our religion.
