How to be a MOnster

[tom7ak]

Tom, don't worry because this thread is open.. I can just learn something and we can help us together.

Thank you for posting and thank you Doji for your clues!
Hints are the best way to teach because it's the only way in which we could really learn to SEE!
BTW, are two days that I'm trying to get what Doji is saying without results

I can see momentum breaking momentum and becoming S/D, but nothing more for now.. origin and end of momentum? And how are they related to the time frame?


I need to meditate on it!

i would probably stick to what u see for now then. Anyway thats what im gonna do.
1. Momentum breaking momentum. What does that tell u? At what point momentum is broken?
2. Signal Line
3. Trigger
I might be wrong but that should be enough for being profitable. even with simple 1:1 RR for simplicity and testing.

Multitimeframes are beyond me right now, i think. At least for live trading. The idea - see all TFs on one chart with no indicators or overlays. How does a breakout look in different TFs? How does a pattern look? How is it different on various Tfs? What is different? How can u use it?

This "you need to SEE" concept is really fked up. I hate it. Absolutely hate it. But it's true.
FOR YEARS I was in and out. I used to believe it and then I didn't and then I did, you know the drill.
I had good periods followed by really bad ones but I didn't know why. And then when You finally SEE it You know You got the edge.
NOW THE EDGE is not forever but for me the part of the edge is to know when You got market by the balls and when not exactly.
So You can shift. So yeah, now I love it

I am glad to have you here Pawel

I hope I can learn from you, the sharing process that exists here is simply AMAZING. I never found a place like this, thank you guys.

Anyway, I know what you mean.
I'm taking all this concepts in a discretionary way but I know I still can't REALLY "see".
I mean, I can place a line and have a feel.. I can imagine my self sitting with a loss, and so, imagine where other traders could be.. I can recognize if a bar is closing against me or if I had a loss because I missed what the bigger tf was saying me..

It could work and I could have good profits too if I plan well my trading

BUT

Am I really seeing? Or am I only applying the concept in a technical way?
Last Doji's words made me think, because I already knew that there is much more than a "close above, close below".. and if just ONE post makes me doubt, well, then it means I only learned the form, not the essence.

if momentum fails to break momentum...

TRADE WHAT YOU SEE AND N O T WHAT YOU DONT SEE... yet

[tom7ak]

if i understand correctly - IDEA is - price will go from here to there. how do i profit? one cannot be trading ideas by themselves. there has to be consistent/specific plan for executing trades (lets call it tools). where i enter/where i profit/where im wrong etc. these come from various ideas too.

BODY SHOWS THE WAY TO PROFIT what does it really mean?
WICK SHOWS THE WAY NOT? what about this one?
