Bones, chill. That wasn’t snappy at all. Don’t get so emotional. He was simply stating it was over excessive to have an indicator for everything. Even to draw a square that fit within lines that an indicator had already drawn out for you. There’s no point in overcrowding a chart with useless objects that a trader can’t see without it.
What AK said was perfectly justified and I agree with him. Some of these newer guys too, take everything for granted and ask for indicators on everything. There’s simply no reason to.
We are all definitely becoming a ‘family’. Lets just keep it cute because when we are all riding on raptors with bazookas riding on sharks, we may extinct ourselves lol. On the other forums I frequent the best response if you don’t agree is usually no response unless someone is handing out awful advice to others. This isnt even pointed at anyone in particular, but as many of us know threads can get way off topic and this thread is already 550+ pages haha.

“The way to achieve inner peace is to finish off all the things you have started”.
"Successful traders have a game plan. They never quit. They never stop perfecting or learning their craft. They adapt to current market conditions and ride trends. Those who achieve incredibly great things experience plenty of setbacks and disappointments. They have simply decided to take renewed determination, instead of discouragement, from those disappointments
Seize this moment that you’re in, and fill it with purposeful, powerful action. Those willing to pay the price for success are very ordinary people who realize quite extraordinary levels of achievement.
Those attaining success in the FOREX market have to overcome massive obstacles during their journey. Any and all tidbits of info gathered along the way helping you become a better trader should be in your journal for future reference." FJ
This weekend I began printing out charts to study on my free time. It’s a lot more sobering to the eyes than staring at the PC and, in my opinion, it gives you a clearer view of price action. I removed all indicators and simply drew vertical lines denoting session opens (and LC) and drew horizontal lines denoting the Asian session just prior to LO.
I will also be printing out higher time frame charts, primarily the 1-hr chart, and do a weekly analysis with paper and pencil.
I recall ICT mentioning a while back that he used to print charts in his early days as a trader and I’m beginning to realize the benefits in doing so.
Folks… relax… it was a request and a common one… as new folks gather in it might be viewed as confrontational… we are hosting a safehouse here… not a Roadhouse.
Save the aggression for the victims on the other sides of your trades. :57:
Atta boy! I went through 600-700 pages of charts when ICT first started sharing his ideas and I was backtesting. I had to replace two printers because of it, and new glasses. O.o
There’s no easy way out of putting in the work. If you have the motivation, you will achieve what you came looking for. Too many people now come and go, thinking this is their next get quick rich scheme, and they’ll be trading 6 figure accounts in a couple months. They claim they have grasped the their mindset, and psychology, but this is easier said than done. This just isn’t the case, I learned that the hard way. People need to understand that. Good job Slad.
PS. That’s a nifty pencil I haven’t seen a wooden one in a while actually.
No hurt feelings here, if you could see me, I have the biggest smile on my face. I fully respect anyone with the cajones to speak their mind openly and honestly!
Guys, quick question … I don’t have the ten, five and two year note overlays on my platform, and cannot seem to find one online which overlays them all three together. Anyone can post me a link of the one you use?
