what's a scout - small position to give you a feel for the market?

actually they already had something like that, if you know about STASI.

DAX Futures June 2020

Good morning Brixen, I hope you are well but as I read you are worrying a lot, understandably. Saw some pictures about pollution of air and water going back etc. In Germany most shops closed now and only two people allowed to be together in public, ...

it's just that i like to ponder on the hidden basic realities of the market, i'm a western metaphysician. remember what my first question in pm was. but i have learnt to not confuse this with the action (acting) on the field itself. true. i'll see ...

The Bucking Bronco

and i agree. i'm getting into "market metaphysics" here and you might not be interested in this, but at least one more thought on that: the metaphors of warfare (if it's not understood well in its purpose) seems to be misleading for many. after all, ...

The Bucking Bronco

no doubt about that. do you want to teach here, or learn, or clarify yourself? i understand. pure price action. only what i see. but i have thought about it. for me it's not all about the terrain. "estimating the adversary" is another factor. i can ...

The Bucking Bronco

i notice you are an advocate of eastern asian wisdom. also, i have the impression, that you think of the market as a battlefield. i affirm all the trader's philosophy i read here. let's find something to differ (western approach of learning). not a ...

The Bucking Bronco

this is maybe what i meant by: orderbook players vs. market order guys, on the one hand. and by: observers acting on basis of their observations of what other acting observers do. i'm afraid i'm not so much lacking theory but practice or rather ...

The Bucking Bronco

i understand, i think. we have barriers and gaps, supports and resistances, and hills and slopes, even holes, etc. .. are these the kind of topographical concepts you're thinking with?

The Bucking Bronco

maybe i'm beginning to understand. let's explain this metaphor of the terrain. terrain is where the orders lie, the orders lying around are the terrain?

The Bucking Bronco

Yes, I know some of this. The point i want to make is, that I feel when the pattern is there, it's already to late. I do mean its unfolding. By which i mean: the growing / unfolding of a çertain pattern has itself a pattern.

The Bucking Bronco

oh yes and i don't believe too much in objective patterns because i haven't seen them work for me. objective in the sense of having read them somewhere and then applied them with success. but i have found by close M1-observation some few patterns on ...

The Bucking Bronco

this requires very much screentime-experience. even more, if you want to be prepared to act on alternatives. low skilled trader must wait, wait, wait and be prepared to act on confirmations of his expectations; and learn to sit on his hands or exit ...

The Bucking Bronco

most valuable in most discussions. i must be precise here: not predicting, but expecting something. For example, I'm driving fast on the Autobahn, left lane, different cars with different speeds everywhere. i spot one car on the right lane. he's not ...

The Bucking Bronco

I am not so pure (yet?). I mean, there are different kinds of why (reason for x). 1) Why they do it – we probably shouldn't care; because we couldn't possibly know. And most of the time there are as many different answers to that as there are ...

The Bucking Bronco

but if we want to narrate (in hindsight or real time) from the traces we see left on the battlefield, i need to be clear about some concepts. Bulls and Bears – we're talking about the buy-side guys here, that is those who step in, firing their ...

The Bucking Bronco

true of course. for many reasons, if one starts to think about it; one of the reasons being that high and low are hindsight-concepts. but still i believe, this would be the most abstract and general description of any trading system and method. it ...
