About Easy Money
I'm going to continue with a quick thought and tell you a funny story from my experience in training. Usually you don't wash your dirty laundry in public, but it's worth it, maybe it will be a lesson to someone. So a friend of mine came to me about a year and a half ago. He started to get a little active, to get involved. Then it all started to fall apart. The first call came even then, I did not pay attention to it. The essence of the complaint was simple: not enough signals. I argue with a simple argument: the system is designed for the trend movement, or rather for the search for the trend start. We all know that 80% of the time the market is sideways, 20% of it is trending (about such an average temperature in charts). From this 20% we filter out a large part of the movement to make it conform to the rules of the trading system. What percentage of the movement is left? Let's compare it with "few entries". Yes, it's really not much, that's why we introduced non-standard TFs to be able to track many times more situations on different timeframes.
Next, the man smoothly went through all sorts of approaches, arguing that he was just interested. Sometimes he expressed displeasure, but either I gently steered him away or he slowed down on his own. Periodically, over the course of a year and a half, this "not enough signals" issue came up, as well as the overkill of other approaches. Let me tell you a little secret, our case is not limited to training, there are several branches, these levels of study. He took everything he could get his hands on. He didn't do anything.
I came to the conclusion that he had decided that the more shekels he spent, the sooner he would be enlightened. But one incident changed everything. I asked the participants: How much time a day do you spend looking for situations, following the schedule, working out and so on? The average response was 2-3 hours. Someone challenged these figures and said that at least 5 (Pauline, hello, you're on the air). Our protagonist was silent, but then quietly knocked in the personal and said: "as usual, sometimes half an hour, sometimes an hour (and a half) sometimes I can not sit at all for a few days. (It was obvious, I emphasized myself and told him, then you are away for 2 weeks, then suddenly activated)
Excuse my French, but I am fucked. That's exactly the kind of fucked up. I have not been in a long time. Remember the beginning and the main theme with "few signals". Let's go back to that. Half an hour or an hour of time. What can you do in half an hour? In my experience it's 1-2 maximum chewed up situations. If the development of a meaningful experience they need hundreds and hundreds, and a year and a half is good if he had at least a hundred. This is about the breakdown, and what can you catch in an hour of real time? Mizer (the main reason for developing the indicator is this).
I think it was a good example of coming, bringing something (not astronomical sums) and sitting on your ass waiting for a miracle. Fortunately, it was an isolated situation of this plan, with a comrade, we said goodbye after his next emotional outburst, which I have not slowed down and did not lead aside, let out, pouring oil on the fire (ouchie what a spiteful), while making screenshots of the dialog and this goodbye.
P.S. All characters are fictional, any coincidence of accidental. And in general it's a figment of my imagination.
Until then, your FaD.
