Using a car is probably a good analogy. You're using an assumption that the car is going to come to a 'predictable' halt. What if the car just slows briefly and then speeds up again ? Unless you're psychic and can tell the future then you just don't know.

You're making the same mistake that all retail traders make, which is to believe that the indicator is telling you something that it's not. It's no coincidence that 95% of people lose money trading, and it's because they all believe the same bullshit.

Have you never questioned that ??? I mean at the end of the day it's literally a 50/50 decision at worst, the price is going to go up, or the price is going to go down. So why the fuck do 95% of people get it wrong ? The statistical probability of being 95% wrong on a 50% chance is astronomical....

You need to understand that all the knowledge you've obtained is part of a huge industrial system designed to take the money from dumb people and put it in the pockets of rich people. Virtually everything you think you know about trading is wrong, deliberately !

I know your not exactly a newb but I'm genuinely trying to help you from my own experience. I used to be where you are, and lost an awful lot of money. When you start trading full time, looking at charts for 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, all the bullshit becomes very evident very quickly. Virtually nothing works as it should in the real world, only in dumb YouTube 'tutorial' videos with referral links to brokers. I really wish you could see it man, I really do.

Sure, look at all the past performance charts and mentally curve fit all the 'good' results that fit with your indicator (and gloss over the fact that 3 times as many occasions don't work). Anyone can be an expert after the fact. Try doing on the right hand side of the chart, where you have to do it in the real world as the patterns form and you don't have the value of hindsight...

Like I keep saying though, the proof is in the pudding. After a very long slog and a couple near misses I now make reasonable money at trading. And I do it exactly the same way that the other 5% do it, because we all do it the same way, no magic. Like an alcoholic, you first need to accept you're in the 95% and you don't know shit before you can become a sober 5%'er.

Damn, I miss writing articles, but as I found out on Steemit it's pointless trying to teach people how to trade for a living when everyone is already an expert and know it all already :-) They just never admit that they suck or need to learn anything, so probably don't deserve to be rich anyway ;-) (not aimed at you)
