I have not been here in a very long time. And as a caviat I don't even have a trading account open. And I'm not a profitable trader. I just had to get this off my chest. For years I've looked at chart patterns, moving averages, candle sticks, trend lines, horizontal lines, all the usual stuff. It all works and it all fails. It seemed to fail more than it works for me at least. I have trade interceptor on my phone and mess around with it daily. A few weeks back I drew a line. Placed a hypothetical order. And waited. It failed. So this random thought popped in my head. "I guess the big boys wanted to use a different area....sigh." Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. That's the key, that's the skill. Not old lines based on old data. Not a candle stick not a moving average, all that is a quest for the grail. What I have to do is open a chart, watch price unfold, look at current, or very recent data, and recognize and figure out what's going on, determine what I'm looking at. And make decisions from there. Just like a chess match. I have to see what is unfolding and react to it. Now, its taken my a lot of years to get to this point. I have no idea if this will lead to profitable trading in the future. But I feel completely freed from the need to buy a trading course, or look for a system, or follow a moving average. The grail is within me. I just have to find it.
