My Journey to this forum:
Mzvega,
When I say, it took you a lot of time to research this or (if I meant it took you a lot of time to reach a level of understanding), I meant both.
I was once using one of the "market profile" software. I knew from the chart poc (point of control) VAH, VAL (value area high and low) and tried to trade breakouts retracements and reversals like using any indicators we use in the chart. Then I was caught up in a dilemma, what I thought breakouts becomes reverses and what I thought reversal or retracement becomes breakouts. I understood I was using another chart indicator again. Then I start researching thinking there must be more into it.
That is how I came to the other forum to find out a quote from you that hooked my attention, "...I trade the "data" from the graphic, NOT the the picture itself..." Trading from "data" was foreign for me. For me "data" means candle (open, high, low and close), that is it. I went to your profile that lead me to this forum. I downloaded every material I found including putting this forum in my hard drive. I read until my eyes bleed but some of the important information slipped from my head and I am also not that young. That is why I am bombarding you with some silly questions so that I may recognize and get those which slip from my head. Please don't get disappointed when I come again with my other silly stuff that slip from my head. That is how I come to mind. Thank you. JP
