These people are in stage 3 of the "stages of a trader" - The Cynical Skepticism Stage.

"This excuse-driven blame game is a dead-end viewpoint, and explains a lot of what you find on message boards. Those who can't pull themselves out of it will quit."

Plus, there are people out there with certain strong beliefs, that they have for whatever reason, that they're not willing to forsake. One example might be that reading price is impossible (because they have yet to succeed at it or understand it).

I have to agree, Ive only been here a short time and can honestly say there no fraud here. I have seen frauds a plenty in my travels to find good teaching and Thales, your a breath of fresh air!

1) Yes and the dotted lines represent valid trades that I did not see in real time.

2) Yes and no. The exercise said to take every sequence but I have stopped taking sequences that I think are in a chop zone - identifying these areas seems like an important skill. I also move to BE when price moves +16.

I'm must admit that I'm starting to struggle with the HL and LH created by two bars because they occur everywhere - I'm feeling less inclined to take these.

Early exit ok, would have been stopped later.

It is sad but not surprising that there are angry bitter people around this business, actually I am surprised there are not more when one considers the trials and tribulations most of us go through. What is particularly sad is that until one gets out of that particular place (angry bitter) chances of success are minuscule to nothing.

Don't let the custards get you down.

Oh and prosperous new year all
