"Who are you?".....well, there is in fact no such a thing.....there is no "I".....there is no "you".....there is no "me".....everything is just an illusion.....all created by the self imagination!
First of all it's a great post, the answer to this question is paramount to us when we are taking on board new traders. We think that if each trader knows himself he will be able to find the underlying instrument that best suit his/her own personality. A trader, like a soldier must understand the weapons available but more importantly a trader strength is driven from his ability to understand and react to his own strengths, weaknesses and emotions. Knowing yourself will put you ahead of the game.
My basic analysis is wholly conscious (TA based, sorry toastie ) in determining potential entry levels. I want to see price with a bit of oomph at that level but I'd be hard pressed to describe oomph in any concrete terms - it's much more to do with my feeling than any "rules".
A mirror can read between the years , I mean ears , when the oomph fades and anger sets into a panic response..There is no art to see the man's construction in his face.
