Yes the plan is the answer. its how to get traders there. have commented about this on another thread about traders not being born but being mentored.

Thanks for asking DB. I personally dont require anything. Have't read the 'Ross Hook' thread. I was commenting on the problems listed, without any guidance on how to approach dealing with them. Problems to which solutions clearly exist. The answers will arrive when traders are forced to ask the...

Thats more the approach i was talking about. Its all in the way of thinking. If you believe their is no soution ,sure enough you will not find one. If you believe then you will find one or create your own. Excellent DB

Agree with you totally that their are solutions. I think rudeboy was referring to the entire arena of trading, it would be difficult. My original post was thinking along the lines of a set approach be it either volume analysis(which I use), or Joe Ross's approach, after all he started the...

Once again i agree. First problem is that the solution is the problem. Second problem is the traders appproach to understanding and using price action. They are all aware(or not for that matter) about this. How do they propose to deal with it on their next trading day. What conclusions have...

Maybe your right rudeboy. Im sure the topics have been covered somewhere. I can see the difficulties that would arise based on what you say, all the different tools, strategies, this and that.

You are quite right, maybe from your own experiences, i dont know. This is the exact experience of most of the traders. I have been through the same process, some of my trader friends have too, other trader friends experienced sucess through the mentoring process. The difference in our...

Yes Great thread. Only problem is it continues to highlight only the problems. These i am sure that most traders are aware of. Whats needed is solutions or a way forward. Everybody on this thread says this and says that, all highlighting the difficulties from one angle or another. How about a...

'That is why I keep saying that traders are born and not made, but very few indeed are able to understand this or indeed accept it.' Is this a reflection of a mentors incompetency to teach?

The problem, in my opinion, many would be mentors face and are unaware of , including socrates, is creating a structure of understanding and then the ability to convert that understanding to realisation, through a process of guidance (one which only experienced traders will have knowledge of)...

Ecactly. How could you believe otherwise? Didn't you know he is a wizard? :lol:

what a load of rubbish. cant believe you guys actually believe this crap. Tangible, abstract - only to those who don't know what heir looking for. Soc, didn't you say trading was simple, only we make it difficult.

i don't believe either one is more difficult than the other. If one can succesfully trade then its just a case of which suits their preferred trading style or personality.

Agreed that a psychologist cannot make a unsuccessful trader into a successful trader. Can a successful trader make an unsuccessful trader into a successful trader. By successful trader i am referring to someone who is not part of the ring fence and does not need to make a living by teaching...

Thanks for your replies. They have all been of great help. Happy Trading
