Forget about the trigger. You have to be in it to win it.

FFS- think about it

FFS- think about it

I have. I am not sure you have. Why don't you put up a more convincing argument and shoot me down. Conventional wisdom will not be convincing given the 99.9% loose rate.

I have some sympathy with the in it to win it philosophy. It depends on being able to spot the opportunity, and knowing how to make the best of it.

I suppose I would say that, given that I use random entries

You make it sound like these opportunities are on your beck and call, or did you imagine the market conforms to your clockwork newtonian science ? You have much to learn, young padded one. Still, you have made more progress than neil who, I believe, still thinks cliches are the ultimate winning formulas.

I suppose I would say that, given that I use random entries

Indeed, random moving average cross over entries.

It is only an opportunity if you know how to make the best of it. That is the definition of opportunity.

indicators are aligned : I no comprende
the pattern is formed : Ah now im wiv ya (bias/setup yada yada)
the clock is ticking : (looks at clock-listens to clock) nope,, its digital!
the breach has happened : breach?

so what are you waiting for ? :- For limit my to fill! What else!

Also applies to:
Position goes your way, what are you waiting for ? For limit my to fill! What else!
Position goes offside, what are you waiting for ? For limit my to fill! What else!

Yep, delay is okay imo.

I think the book's premise makes no sense at all.
