Non mechanical trading using pattern recognition and experience

My future
I think trading is OK. I dont love it all over, SOMETIMES i love it. I would prefer to do something else actually. But i havent practically found out what that would be yet. I have had some 15 different proffessions or so, but none of them where any good. Probably i would want to continue with applied, interdisciplinary behavioural science, but not at a university, at least not a swedish one. People there only think about the next coffee break and their own GOD DAMN "careers". Boring and uninteresting. Im not really interested in having a lot of money. The main reason why i trade is that i havent found anything else that agrees with me and and can bring an income.

Until i come up with something i can do instead trading will be my main career. What ever else i do i do just for the safe money. What i invest is actually not money, i invest time. Nowadays i figured out how not to loose money. Which is handy.

Non mechanical rules
(If you are reading this expecting to find definitions you can understand directly, you are shit out of luck.)

1. Go with the flow.
2. Enter on PA.
3. NEVER enter on SR.
4. Orders are visible in the PA. Orders are visible in Tick scale.
5. One candle is no PA, so one candle dont mean crap.
6. Noone knows fucking shit in advance since noone collects all the data from all brokers and banks and computes the outcome. Price is not orchestrated.
7. If you collect enough data in any natural system and graph the data, patterns emerge. Price is a natural system, just like bacteria in a dish, just like air currents, just like the flow of a river.
8. The trained human brain computes enough operations to perceive the patterns of price.
9. Price is never "going up" or "goin down" or "trending" or "overbought" or "oversold". All these definitions are limiting natural languages adaptions of the nummerical reality of price. None of them are met by an real state of being or event.
10. Civilization is a demented state of being. Civilization cannot understand natural systems. Civilization is a part of the only existing natural system that encompass everything that has ever existed. All prices are functions of civilization and hence the all existing natural system of everything, even though its demented.
11. NEVER EVER enter on SR.
12. Exit on Tick scale and M1 PA.

I started a new explorer where ALL trades employ these rules. If i break em, gimme the whip will yah?
Actually to those i will add:

1. I will look at my trades all the time when they are open.
2. The market will show me what is correct and what is incorrect, NOT my analysis.
3. The news is a part of it all.
4. Existence is not itself divided into frames of time. "Time" is a human idea, developed, limited by and existing in industrial civilization.
5. Trade what IS happening, not what you would WANT to happen or what you are HOPEING to happen.
6. Use skill, not emotions.

Oh and with this i DONT mean head and shoulders, flags, cups, breakouts and so on. Im talking about something A LOT more simple. Oscilations.

Im not saying i can EXACTLY remember all that i would want to concerning this 0.73 area, but for one, there is PLENTY of eyes fixed on it. Plenty of millions of euros and pounds on the line RIGHT there.

However...
Luckily at least concerning the latest bit, i did close. All details avaliable in the explorer.

I have pretty much done all the damage i can to my brain for today. I have a whoping headache and i really need to think about risk. So i am downgrading my Lot size for the rest of the day.

I think im rather humble, but these two are just TOO beautiful. I fought and struggled for YEARS in order to be able to do this:

This is what my super advanced indicator system looks like. See all those indicators?
No?



I see them all over.

Subjectivity, PI, predicticability, Martin Armstrong

If ANYBODY wants to learn some really cool stuff, check out Martin Armstrong. Hes got somewhat of a bloated ego, but hes head is screwed on just right. I would sure like to meet him. Anyway...

What im saying is not that you NEED subjectivity to trade. Im not saying that trading needs to be subjective. Im just saying that i dont have the hardware and people to make it non subjective. Also it might sort of fail for a while or what ever. Im saying that all you need is the data in the charts. You DONT need the other crap. Armstrong is after what makes the charts move. He wants to find out about it all. Sure i want to do that also, but mainly i want to trade profitably and for that you DONT need to collect data about coins in 12th century England and so on like Armstrong does.

Let me try to make my point clear:

Ive sold 5 positions so far this morning. They all worked out and the data you can see in my explorer. I can sort of try to explain why i took those positions. But right now i dont really want to buy and i dont really want to sell.



The thing is i cant quite explain why i dont want to do that. If i worked on in with some math people, psychologists, traders and coders and so on probably we could reach some kind of explanation why i feel that way when i look at the data.

Have a go at finding out how big is the probability that would happen by chance statisticaly speaking:



If a very simple modell is used: (x/2) (x/2) and 20 more of that = Less then the fart of fly in an ocean

Your trading is VERY similar to mine. Do you use manual execution or stop orders? I found that putting stop orders at points where I expect a bit of momentum coming up is increasing my profitability. Manual execution is simply too slow, costs me a pip here and a pip there.

Good luck and greetings to lovely Sweden! (Looking forward to next years Sweden Rock )

Manual execution.

Actually, please somebody spank me if i use more then one position at a time, OK?
