" We trade based on very flimsy evidence " - Thats the part that meant the most to me in this article , It means ( to me ) that its a waste of time to spend a lot of time deciding on the best course of action because price will either go up or dowm - not trying to steal your mantra TRO .

Yes TRO , you're correct - price action trading or as it pertains exclusively to trading .

1) A trader thinks they have found a "pattern" or "edge" they can exploit and build an indicator

2) A trader enter the trade based on the indicator

3) The trade will either be a winner or a loser

4) The indicator will not indicate if the trade will be a winner or a loser - all it indicates is that the pattern is now present.

So what are the reasons 95% of traders lose?

1) They do not stick with the indicator long enough

2) They do not trade in a manner to take advantage of their indicator

3) They do not let PRICE ACTION make them a winner

When you trade, do you usually see at least one opportunity to "make a killing" almost every day?

What is the reason you are not making a killing almost every day?

Can you describe what a killing looks like in SENSORY SPECIFIC TERMS?

Hi Eric j

In one of yours screenshots ("3 opportunities")of the first page of this post , you have HH, HL, ... and others highs for example with this information :
" not a lower high , no bars closed below last bar low"
Can you give me more informations about it? How do you determine if an high is a lower high or not ...?

thank you
Nuno
