{quote} I think what you have said above is more it - he means us to learn to internalise what we do as we follow the market to go with it when water force bursts strong we can attack - when it runs we can just jump on board or chop at once if against us - rushing waters - when it starts to trickle start taking some out - when it gushes again put some back - when the water is a messy wash then we would not get in to swim so leave it. Guess I need to think more on the water analogy. Thanks my friend Alex
Another note though, look at the blue sequence, see how it contrast with purple sequence. Blue sequence carried 1 scout from previous campaign, so he short 1, price up thrust against him, so he in rescue mode, but still relatively near net average break even, so he short 2, to reaverage and when price did a slow wispy down move, he bought back 4 and waited for scout redeployment as price showed impulse upwards, instead of weak wispy upwards, but he was fairly bearish since higher tf may be still down and this is simply mm squeezing shorts out, or temporary up thrust.
Finally, think about what fti says about being able to trade blind, and if you can trade blind, what you can do when you have more info. Being able to flow allows you to trade profitably when trading blind, that is instinctively reacting to how price gyrates. If analysis or info is on the ball, you find yourself usually on the side of momentum.
This thread is very deep, and usually almost everything he says, came from years and years of managing tough situations and coming out well, and personally even till now, i am still learning many new stuff after many reads from this thread.
in 1 of the previous posts, very early on, i seen a poster, if i remember correctly is gro(?) post the image below.
sometimes, red gains an attack angle on blue, and blue goes defensive, and sometimes blue gains an attack angle on red and red goes defensive.
running battle mindset, lesson 2.
