One sees random numbers and puts arbitrary value onto them, thinking this cognitive bias is a gift.
Using this gift would, of-course, be insider trading (by their reasoning).
Therefor using the gift would be thievery (by their reasoning). Stealing money from poor ignorant retailers oblivious to the shenanigans going on in this business.
If one places their orders, knowing the risks involved (as they should), and then win or lose .. does this (rhetorically) mean someone else lost or made the exact same amount ? (not always zero-sum!).
The causality of Market Mechanics is a very complex, multifaceted process often beyond the mental capabilities of many traders. Laying blame on what- or whomever made you lose money is just an excuse to run away from you own responsibility.
Do you need animals (be it your guidance Bear or Bull) to help you trade?
Does it make you sleep better at night?
One can learn so many incredible things in this world and use it to their advantage, that is not 'cheating', that is using your brain for what it was meant for in the first place. One can even attempt to find new things no-one has ever done before and use that to make money.
Draw those lines the way everyone does, count the candles, use that indicator like everybody .. most of the standard techniques are self-fulfilling prophecies, they work .. because traders make them work.
Becoming a good or even brilliant trader is just about finding, observing, learning and then using the 'unwritten' rules of the game. Just as in life, where you have to learn to crawl, walk, run, cycle, drive a car etc. by yourself, perhaps with some guidance but the effort has to be put in by YOU.
P.S. ignore the random lines, patterns and text. They are meaningless, We (Illeism is important on Tradingview) just thought it would brighten up the chart a bit.
Markets only go up (sometimes stuttering and glitching shortly down but eventually up, otherwise we would be trading negative .. (didn't oil do that recently? :p )
also .. don't leave a comment, i am not interested, also liking the chart doesn't interest me, "likes" don't pay no bills.
If anybody knows where i can trade "life", let me know below. I need one.
