Disliked{quote} Ye, think about it. After golfer has found his swing (after many tries) and has honed it with tutor/pro, next thing is to make 30 000 repeats (i made the number out of my head) remember the swing with every cell you have and just execute. Perfectly, every time. It is not possible to keep changing swing and expect top notch results. After every alteration you make those 30 000 repeats again, until everything is automatic. Of course, it's not exactly same in trading, but didn't you say JT that you have friend that has had same charts and indis...Ignored
I also think excessive tweaking of one's trading tends to slow or even reverse progress. I have a friend whom I met here at FF who has become a real life friend as it turned out we only live 3 hours away from one another and he happens to live in the same small town as my brother-in-law (small world!). He trades off a fifteen minute bar chart and all he does is buy when price goes higher than the previous bar and sell and sell short when price goes below the low of the previous bar. He takes his losses, sure, but he trails his stop loss behind and manages to take huge trending moves. He has simple but specific rules that keep him out of the chop after two consecutive losses and get him back in when odds favor the chop has ended. He hasn't tweaked anything in years. I wish I could be as simple minded as he is.
I also would like to say how much I enjoy the contributions everyone makes to this thread. This is the best "talking shop" group I have found anywhere in a long time.
(but I probably wouldn't share them were I him...).
