When I started I use a scientific approach on my trading. The market proved to me otherwise. Markets are so dynamic that it's impossible to mold it or cast it into any shape, size or form. But I guess this is something you must learn by experience. Just look at he the floor. Who the hell is gonna make money there when you have so many people pushing themselves around screaming at the top of the lungs? What "Scientific approach" you will use??? none

I tell you me and my "scientific approach" got crushed the first 1/2 hour I started on the pit back in the day.

Exactly...the way I see it...in science, a computer has the indisputable edge. Period. There is no one that can consistently out calculate a computer. Therefore the only logical thing to do in order to obtain an edge for yourself, is to rely on characteristics a computer does not and cannot have- discretion, art, perception, and intuition. Only play ball on your court, by your rules.
