This sophisticated human alogrithm, and I call it sophisticated, because it includes all sorts of ingredients that are beyond what is mechanical cannot be replicated with any software you can think of.new_trader said:Soc, perhaps due to your experience you can assess the market conditions within seconds and make a profitable trade, but this human algorithm can be replicated with software. Unexpected events (like terrorism) would be difficult to incorporate, but there aren't many other things that unexpectedly move a market.

Yes, agreed that is why it is so important, in fact crucial, to be prepared in advance by using stops. They don't cost anything to put in, they provide a safeguard, and they are there to be used.Glenn said:imho:-
Expectation is no use.
It displaces/overcomes/confuses awareness.
It destroys your ability to trade.
The market will do as it likes, no matter what anyone expects, and no matter what kind of method they use.
Once you have opened a position, Anything Can Happen !
The price is controlled by others behaviour after you commit the trade.
Never forget that.

self examination could well reveal why one isnt able to follow a-b-c.
a good trader with a poor plan will make more money than a poor trader with a great plan ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!!!!!
if one could earn £100000000 a year flipping burgers, i almost guarantee that flipping burgers would be perceived as the most difficult career choice one could make! we would all be arguing here over whether rare, or well done is the correct way to cook a burger, and of course the choice of relish would be a nightmare! dont get me started on the pickles please. how many people here would have lost a fortune by dropping burgers from the fridge to the hot plate as their nerves get the better of them while thinking of all that filthy lucre they are about o make or lose?
I have made a point of reading your recent posts. I don't rate them. You come here for a laugh do you ? You imply that people are stupid.FXSCALPER2 said:I read this thread for a laugh. But this is the best post by far so far. Very good indeed. The number one reason why people don't make money trading is because they believe it is harder than it is.

Otherwise, I will clam up and no one gets to learn anything.
Kunal said:Haven't you implied this consistently over your last 500 posts, and in some cases, almost stated it outright?

Kunal said:There is quality here.
Db and Bramble have posted some good stuff.
Of course, you'll have to scroll over the fluff to get to it.
SOCRATES said:Not revealing at all. I am referring to governments and nations and not individuals.
The kids on the block as you put it, have no part in this at all.
They are at the mercy of whatever develops, just like the rest of us, so don't try to be clever, OK ?
