ELIMINATE TIME
ELIMINATE NOISE
Most are stuck in false time-based paradigm Matrix. Time warps/distorts/obfuscates price action.
Price. Not time. No indicators. Just perfect clarity trend inception/continuation/reversal inflection point identification.
Waste of time.
Howcome? Would love to know your critical thoughts
Just like your comment.
Nobody will publicize working strategies if only for the reason of not turning on competitors/peers onto the scent trail of connecting the dots/piecing the piece clues of the final mosaic puzzle. Absence of insight leaves no trace to follow. I certainly have occasiinally deliberately leave breadcrumbs to see if anyone bites, very few do. Secret to clarity is hidden in plain sight. If you know what to look for it's a google search away.
