And what is the coolest is when you want to switch time frames you can just drag the line on top of the other for a "no indy" condition. Use that for inspecting the smaller time frames during entry or........

In my opinion it is more easy on the eyes to use a bar chart with blubbb's custom candle indi. and then switch to candles when you want to observe the base time frame.

You observe then ask, "Now what gets me confused is :why are there over a hundred systems(automatic or not)?
And when there is a good system,why do people always change??"

TRO might say people like to complicate things, someone else, someone has another idea, to make it a little bit better. MO says don't get stuck on a system and stop thinking and growing. I think people are people, not always logical or rational.

Get well fast. While using this time to learn and grow your trading muscles.

Good post Patch ;)

Trading is like a poker game where one side comes to the table with solid mathematics and the other side comes to the table with solid mathematics and the ability to adapt to the tendencies of the other players.

It is pretty clear that the poker players that are armed solely with mathematics (a system) are going to be on the losing end of the stick.

They may make money if someone weaker sits down at the table, but they damn sure are not going to beat the professional without lady luck.


Even if a trader has solid price action analysis and is wildly profitable on his entries he could still not make it to $100,000 or even a $1,000,000 for purely psychological reasons.

What does money mean to you?

If you scraped together $400 from skipping 2 meals a day for 2 months and you grew your account to $1,200 you may be fearful because $1,200 is a lot of money to you.

It is often the case that a person will trade really well with a small amount and then trade poorly with a larger amount until he reaches his initial account balance.

If $1,200 was not enough to shake the trader then what about $26,000 or $43,000?
The affects of losing are magnified by the value (to you) of the money at risk.

Do you have what it takes to look at $100,000 and say that it would not bother you one bit if you lost it all?

But that is what it takes to reach a million dollars:

ZERO EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT :shock:



great post

100% exact

the mind is a very powerful thing. It can help you and it can also get in the way and hurt. You have to retrain your mind, making it believe that money has no value--- in a way.


you have to believe that the money in your account has no monetary value at all-----it is just a number.

its not easy to do----but u can do it

emotions kill traders

emotions are the enemy

this goes right along with what i have said before about having a daily target of pips or %------- this creates unneeded and additional emotions.

i have no per day, per week, per month goals. I know what i would like to be able to avg per week/month over time, but i do not trade towards or away from it. I just trade what i see



trade the chart don't trade a goal

the market could give two poops what your goals are
:D

Good tip M.O.
Or could even use this to minimize distractions after time frame is set:

Could have went long and held with confidence off the M30 chart...either .50 or .40 depending on which way you trade ZL's.
As i said, I was long at 34 and 36.......Hmmmmmmm

I am so excited to save time reading the rest of NLA. This is a work of art. I don't know how you did it, but thank you, thank you thank you.

It took me a couple minutes to find the index file in the new NLA directory everything was unzipped to. Once found, done. and very FAST.
and a lot of great info has been posted the last few days.

Thanks zap! Very useful indeed.

Unfortunately I have read this thread 3 times the "hard way". Nevertheless others would benefit from your effort.
