Just curious, but how do you get these guys to appear? Do they ask you, you ask them, are they usually very receptive?
I was wondering, because of all the webinars you have schedualed and the quality is consitently excellent. I have seen other sites webinars where that is decidedly not the case.
For someone that claims not to be a people person, you sure seem to have a lot of fine relationships in the trading community.
I recognise this is Brians thread, but I am pretty sure he dosnt mind me asking.
I would agree Papa15. Maybe the only question is "What and how many timeframes must agree at once?" BUT keep it simple, they all do or they all do not.
Just my thought though, I could be wrong of course - I am many times.
"The missing component was mental. This was further driven home when I watched a documentary about professional blackjack players and how they approached the business of gambling."
Hi Brian,
What was the name of the documentary you mentioned above?
I don't remember, it was on the documentary channel and I picked it up about halfway through. It had the word "roller" in the title. Could be High Roller or something like that. Sorry I'm not more help....

At issue here is not my abstaining from longs until they actually set up, the issue is simply I failed to realize it was short until it was much to late to enter without significant risk. Which I was unwilling to take. So perhaps I did well in staying out but I feel like I was just scared to believe it was short and found a way to talk myself out of it.

Just like in going long or short, one must first perform the analysis and then make a conscious decision to go or stay flat, so it is also one of the three available positions in the market, and sometimes the correct one. A day in which nothing is lost, is certainly not a complete and total screw up. I could show you plenty of those, and I only wish they looked like BE for the day.
This makes sense, but it sounds like it's possible that leaving part of the position on to capture different scenarios or runners on big moves, could also work out to better net profit overall if you are going for larger swings. Have you found that this is the case, not only in terms of comfort, but in net profit, for your style as a trader?
