{quote} Your observation is legit if considered on the side of common thinking. If someone is willing to understand what market really is and how to look at it, a shift of our mental paradigm is mandatory; the truth is not on charts but beyond them. I've quoted that sentence just to give a tip about the meaning of "think different". Trading, as well as everything else and life, is just a mind game. Don't seek for proves or demonstrations: they already are in front of you each time you observe price action on your charts; they are there eventhough...
There's a difference between 'willing' and 'able'. Thinking different is not something one switches on like a light bulb.

In your quote you say everything is relative. For me thats equal to saying 1+1 = 2. Obvious. Now imagine your teacher way back when, telling you to solve a quadratic equation with that.

You say the truth is not on the charts, but the proof is on them. Just ask yourself "the questions".. what questions??

And you conclude by saying it is not your problem.. (then why bother uttering any of this at all?)

Like someone said, there is the unknown unknown (things you do not know that you do not know). You can at least begin by giving a set of unknowns to be researched upon.

People generally begin at the unknown unknown, I did not know about expectancy until someone pointed it out.

The mystic, cryptic stuff helps no one. At least with Pipalicious, CP, casual links are offered. E.g Accounting for variable change

One of my favorite quotes goes like this:

"Don't start what you can't (not willing to) finish"

[quote=hanover;9814649]{quote} ........... I also believe that there is a reason for everything, however deeply hidden (or currently undiscovered) it might be. I've been trying to understand the meaning of your quote in post #673, and its relevance to trading. Do you see a direct causal link between the physical universe and the human mind, i.e. the relative motion of bodies in the universe somehow affects the way that traders think and markets behave...........
Now you are on the point

Now you can start your own research to the truth.

I won't share my thoughts for 2 reasons:
- it took me a lot of time and really hard work to uncover this stuff and there is no etic reason I should make a gift of all this to the public;
- there are concepts you cannot truly understand if you are not prepared to listen to them: making your own research will progressively prepare your mind to a different logic and to your best understanding.
I can give some clues suggesting the right way, but everybody must do its own work.

numbers were first introduced into the world in order to keep better track of debts.

in a small group of humans, maybe 100 ppl, it was easy to remember who owed what to whom.

in order to have a viable larger community, thousands of people, there needed to be a way of accountability.

thus only a few people (think accountants) were required to "think differently" using numbers, and help tabulate one's debts to others in the community.

now i probably got that entire excerpt wrong, but you get the idea.

People are increasingly trained to think different in order to do their jobs. accountants think in numbers, lawyers think in laws and torts, coders think in code, doctors think about medicine..

As for the mystic and cryptic stuff..

{quote} Thanks for your reply. I think I understand better where you are coming from. I can relate to the point you made about love in an earlier post (#645); I believe that we are primarily existential beings; even knowledge at its most abstract somehow has to be experienced, to make any kind of deep, meaningful sense. For example, I can only understand 2+2=4 if I'm first capable of existentially conceptualizing '2', '4', the process of addition, etc. However, I also believe that there is a reason for everything, however deeply hidden (or currently undiscovered) it might be. I've been trying to understand the meaning of your quote in post #673, and its relevance to trading. Do you see a direct causal link between the physical universe and the human mind, i.e. the relative motion of bodies in the universe somehow affects the way that traders think and markets behave; or are you simply drawing some kind of more abstract parallel? I'm curious to know what you had in mind, if you're willing to share your thoughts. Thanks again.
i can't vouch for the use of astrology and the like and the usefulness in it for trading, but some people swear by it.

---
some people even use insights they gain from the Bible, the BIBLE!, to trade.

Is everyone grasping at straws then, the only Right trading method must be rooted in numerical science fact and not the fiction of gut instincts or luck?

just as there are many religions, such as there are many different schools of martial arts, would you go follow whichever one you think is the best? or do they all have intrinsic value?

if people want to have a k-12 trading education, go to babypips lol. but the rest of your trading career, your money and your trades, that is up to You to decide.

I used to think that i needed to know more and more in order to be a better trader, to be more confident in my trades. and through all my calculations and research, maybe one gamble trade made more than all my calculated trades ever did.

what's the lesson in that?

maybe im jealous that people can so easily trust their trades to a methodology that seems bizarre to me, such as astrology. but who says it isnt that simple? not that their methodology is simple.

I think that the root of everything, when it comes down to it all, everyone is Trading. good methods, bad methods, whatever. People are Trading, and that's what i like about it, and that's what makes the world go round.

So... I have 5 years of experience, I know price action, I know how to trade with trend, I know how to manage risk, etc., but I still don't have a strategy. Is this normal or it's a waste of time? I'm not looking for a holy grail, but for something really simple with 50% accuracy at 1:2 ratio. 3-5 trades per day during EU session and that's all. I tried to trade H1-H4 pullbacks, pivots, breakouts and many other strategies but without any success... Should I continue my searches or it's time to leave it?

Try trading pre-U.S only between 5 - 8 am. The best time to trade Imo. A good ranging market but fairly active. Be out before 8:30 am.

We, as human beings, have an Ego and a Mind.
Ego is our self survival tool but is not meant for thinking; this is the function of our Mind.
The big matter with people is that they have grown their Ego to such a kind of extent that they use Ego also for thinking; either they have forgotten the reason they still do have a Mind.
This is the main reason 95% of traders are losers and is also the main reason our actual world is so bad.

I've never solicited anyone for money.
I've never solicited anyone for their emails and contact.
I've told people that if they want to thank me, that they do it in spirit and not in a post.
I've never promoted a site regarding trading or brokers.
I've never scammed anyone since I joined FF in 2009
I've never redirected anyone to any third party.
I've never solicited any sales of program nor signing up training.
I hardly post. I have one the lowest post rate of any member since 2009

Haters complained I haven't post any screen shot of my trades (I have and it is still there in my member section images)
Haters complained I haven't made a live trade call (I'm a scalper and trade the tick charts which have been in my posts several times)

I post offering ideas. Nothing more nothing less. Take it or leave it.
Apparently, people subscribed because they found value in it.
You should talk to these people and ask what value they found in it.
I've never asked them anything in return.
I don't disrupt threads and hijack threads off topic.
I adhere to FF rules and regulations regarding posting.
I say unconventional things, with no strings attached.

For you guys "In the know" never once I questioned you guys.
By all means show to the world, how "In the know" you guys are, because I'm not going to be in your way.

If that is the definition of being "the biggest cock sucker" in FF, then so be it

If it has to be my last word here on earth:
I wish you haters will find peace and happiness within yourself.
Because your hate also affect those people who are close to you (family, friend and love ones)
in a negative way without you guys realizing it.

EVERYTHING is driven by a scheme, which is the same to everything; EVERYTHING that is happening occurs for a reason, that is to let us make our choice, respecting our free will.
Either shit and morons have a reason for their existences:
shit serves the purpose to make us appreciate beauty, what we will chose is up to us: whether we chose shit we will get shit, whether we chose beauty we will get beauty and shit shall never disturb us anymore;
morons serve the purpose to show us how we will end up if we won't open our eyes, what we will chose is up to us: whether we chose to be morons we will be morons, whether we chose to be smart we will acquire new knowledge that will make us better and prosperous beings and morons shall never disturb us anymore.

{quote} Bad traders blame their tools but what if the tools they were given like TA, candlesticks, breakouts no longer work. Tools deteriorate and get worn out. Why can't indicators, candlesticks be worn out and become obsolete?
Because we have not yet been replaced by machines. Was that a serious question? The tools still work.
