DT: you are on the right track, and there is one thing that will blow you away when you crack it, and what is more, when you see it you will not want to tell anyone, as I was never told it, but I did see it, eventually, and likewise, I will never tell anyone, but like me, that does not mean that anyone else will never see it, for beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Time restriction puts additional pressure and forces you to take unecessary trades.

The less constraints, the less pressure, the better you learn how to trade.

''Look at the graph and see what it is showing you, not what you think it might be showing you''

If, when you look at a chart, you do not see the OHLC, and instead you see a myriad of other things, then odds are your are going to get screwed, for that is exactly what they will do to you.

You must, and I will repeat again, You must, know your ranges if you are to succeed at daytrading Us stocks. If you are stupid enough to play around with silly shapes and squiggles, then you deserve exactly what you will get.

Norn Iron:

you guys with your esoteric mumbo-jumbo claptrap just don't get it, with all your fancy charts, pretty colours and waffle.

you may well have some insight into market or price behaviour.

but so what ?

does it make you a better, more successful trader ? I doubt it.

all you need is a plan ! a simple plan !

draw a simple horizontal line on your chart, any distance away from where price is now.

decide in advance what you're going to do if/when price hits that line - go Long or go Short

then

decide in advance

a) how much pain you can take if you're wrong and

b), partly based on the answer to a), how much you will target as profit.

and that's it mate, no BS

or if drawing a horizontal line is beyond you , simply make the same plan now about Stops and Targets and enter at Market now !!!, Long or Short I don't care, the market doesn't care, it doesn't matter.

It's how you manage the trade according to your plan that will make a successful trader.

if u can't accept that only 2 or 3 trades out of 10 will be small winners, & that 2 or 3 will be scratched for even & that 3 or 4, even 5 will be losers, with possibly only 1 in 10 trades being "payday" then u shouldn't even consider trading

Stocks Rise, Then Fizzle In Low Volume

For the second straight session, stocks began the day strong, then retreated to a slack finish.

After being up as much as 0.6%, the Nasdaq finished down 0.1% Friday. The S&P 500 and Dow inched up 0.1% each. The NYSE composite tacked on 0.2%.

Volume fell across the board.

The day's chief positive was that the ups and downs occurred in lower volume as the market consolidated its recent run-up.

The stock market didn't panic on news that a South Korean navy ship sank near North Korean waters. The cause was unclear.

Yet good news had little impact as well. Europe came to an agreement on how it would deal with Greece's debt crisis, but the boost from that was short-lived.

Although the market remains in a confirmed uptrend, the recent action — negative reversals and distribution in three of the past six sessions — is raising doubts.

The indexes have climbed to new highs this month and dozens of stocks have broken out, but only a few have risen sharply.

On Friday, action continued to be ho-hum for the leaders.

Such indecisiveness has defined this uptrend, keeping gains and losses in check. The market appears to be waiting for a catalyst that shows true conviction.

In a couple of weeks, earnings season will begin for the first quarter. That could reignite or toss cold water on the uptrend.

Still, there's always the possibility that nothing will significantly move this market. The rules for investing in a directionless market are the same as any other.

Sell any stock that drops 8% below your buy point. Don't let gains cycle into losses. Buy only during a market uptrend, and lock in gains in individual stocks when the chart gives sell signals.

The Dow was up 1% for the week, the Nasdaq 0.9%, the S&P 500 0.6% and the NYSE composite 0.2%.

Totalitarianism didn’t come quickly,it took 5 years after 1938 to realize full dictatorship

—————-

“What I am about to tell you is something you’ve probably never heard, nor will ever read in history books. I believe that I am an eyewitness to history.

I will not tell you that the German chancellor took Austria by tanks and guns. I will not distort history. We Austrians elected him by a landslide – 98% of the vote. I’ve never read that in any American publication. Everyone thinks that the Germans rolled in with tanks and took Austria by force. Not at all.

In 1938, Austria was in deep depression. Nearly one-third of our workforce was unemployed. We had 25% inflation and 25% bank loan interest rates.

Farmers and business people were declaring bankruptcy daily.Young people were going from house to house begging for food. Not that they didn’t want to work; there simply weren’t any jobs. My mother was a kind Christian woman and believed in helping people in need. Every day we cooked a big kettle of soup and baked bread to feed those poor, hungry people – about 30 daily.

The Communist Party and the National Socialist Party were fighting each other. Blocks and blocks in cities like Vienna, Linz, and Graz were destroyed.The people became desperate and petitioned the government to let them decide what kind of government they wanted.

We looked to our neighbor on the north, Germany, where Hitler had been in power since 1933. We had been told that they didn’t have employment or crime, and they had a high standard of living. Nothing was ever said about persecution of any group— Jewish or otherwise. We were led to believe that everyone was happy. We wanted the same way of life in Austria.

We were promised that a vote for Hitler would mean the end of unemployment and help for the family. Hitler said that businesses would be assisted, and farmers would get their farms back. Ninety-eight percent of the population voted to annex Austria to Germany and have Hitler for our ruler.

We were overjoyed, and for three days we danced in the streets and had candlelight parades. The new government opened up big field kitchens and everyone was fed.

After the election, German officials were appointed, and like a miracle, we suddenly had law and order. Three or four weeks later, everyone was employed. The government made sure that a lot of work was created through the Public Work Service.

Hitler decided we should have equal rights for women. Before this, it was a custom that married Austrian women did not work outside the home. An able-bodied husband would be looked down on if he couldn’t support his family. Many women in the teaching profession were elated that they could return to the jobs they previously had been required to give up for marriage.

Hitler Targets Education – Eliminates Religious Instruction for Children:

Our education was nationalized. I attended a very good public school. The population was predominantly Catholic, so we had religion in our schools. The day we elected Hitler (March 13, 1938), I walked into my schoolroom to find the crucifix replaced by Hitler’s picture hanging next to a Nazi flag. Our teacher, a very devout woman, stood up and told the class we wouldn’t pray or have religion anymore. Instead, we sang “Deutschland, Deutschland, Uber Alles,” (Germany, Germany, Over All) and had physical education.

Sunday became National Youth Day with compulsory attendance. Parents were not pleased about the sudden change in curriculum. They were told that if they did not send us, they would receive a stiff letter of warning the first time. The second time they would be fined the equivalent of $300, and the third time they would be subject to jail. The first two hours consisted of political indoctrination. The rest of the day we had sports. As time went along, we loved it. Oh, we had so much fun and got our sports equipment free. We would go home and gleefully tell our parents about the wonderful time we had.

My mother was very unhappy. When the next term started, she took me out of public school and put me in a convent. I told her she couldn’t do that and she told me that someday when I grew up, I would be grateful.

There was a very good curriculum, but hardly any fun – no sports, and no political indoctrination. I hated it at first but felt I could tolerate it. Every once in a while, on holidays, I went home. I would go back to my old friends and ask what was going on and what they were doing. Their loose lifestyle was very alarming to me. They lived without religion. By that time unwed mothers were glorified for having a baby for Hitler. It seemed strange to me that our society changed so suddenly. As time went along, I realized what a great deed my mother did so that I wasn’t exposed to that kind of big-brother philosophy.

Equal Rights Hits Home:

In 1939, the war started and a food bank was established. All food was rationed and could only be purchased using food stamps. At the same time, a full-employment law was passed which meant if you didn’t work, you didn’t get a ration card, and if you didn’t have a card, you starved. Women who stayed home to raise their families didn’t have any marketable skills and often had to take jobs more suited for men.

Soon after this, the draft was implemented. It was compulsory for young people, male and female, to give one year to the labor corps. During the day, the girls worked on the farms, and at night they returned to their barracks for military training just like the boys. They were trained to be anti-aircraft gunners and to participate in the signal corps. After the labor corps, they were not discharged but were used in the front lines. When I go back to Austria to visit my family and friends, most of these women are emotional cripples because they just were not equipped to handle the horrors of combat. Three months before I turned 18, I was severely injured in an air raid attack. I nearly had a leg amputated, so I was spared having to go into the labor corps and into military service.

Hitler Restructured the Family Through Daycare:

When the mothers had to go out into the work force, the government immediately established child care centers. You could take your children ages 4 weeks to school age and leave them there around-the-clock, 7 days a week, under the total care of the government. The state raised a whole generation of children. There were no motherly women to take care of the children, just people highly trained in child psychology. By this time, no one talked about equal rights. We knew that we had been had.

Health Care and Small Business Suffer Under Government Controls:

Before Hitler, we had very good medical care. Many American doctors trained at the University of Vienna. After Hitler, health care was socialized, free for everyone. Doctors were salaried by the government. The problem was, since it was free, the people were going to the doctors for everything.

When the good doctor arrived at his office at 8 a.m., 40 people were already waiting and, at the same time, the hospitals were full. If you needed elective surgery, you had to wait a year or two for your turn. There was no money for research as it was poured into our daily medicine. Research at the medical schools literally stopped, so the best doctors left Austria and emigrated to other countries.

As for healthcare, our tax rates went up to 80% of our income. Newlyweds immediately received a $1,000 loan from the government to establish a household. We had big programs for families. All day care and education were free. High schools were taken over by the government and college tuition was subsidized. Everyone was entitled to free handouts, such as food stamps, clothing, and housing.

We had another agency designed to monitor business. My brother-in-law owned a restaurant that had square tables. Government inspectors told him he had to replace them with round tables because people might bump themselves on the corners. Then they said he had to have additional bathroom facilities. It was just a small dairy business with a snack bar. He couldn’t meet all the demands. Soon, he went out of business. Since the government owned the large businesses and not many small ones existed, it was in control.

We had consumer protection. We were told how to shop and what to buy. Free enterprise was essentially abolished. We had a planning agency specially designed for farmers. The bureaucrats would go to the farms, count the live-stock, then tell the farmers what to produce, and how to produce it.

“Mercy Killing” Redefined:

In 1944, I was a student teacher in a small village in the Alps. The villagers were surrounded by mountain passes which, in the winter, were closed off with snow, causing people to be isolated. So people intermarried and offspring were sometimes retarded. When I arrived, I was told there were 15 mentally retarded adults, but they were all useful and did good manual work. I knew one, named Vincent, very well.

He was a janitor of the school. One day I looked out the window and saw Vincent and others getting into a van. I asked my superior where they were going. She said that they were going to an institution where the State Health Department would teach them a trade, and to read and write. The families were required to sign papers with a little clause that they could not visit for 6 months. They were told visits would interfere with the program and might cause homesickness.

As time passed, letters started to come saying that these people died a natural, merciful death. The villagers were not fooled. We suspected what was happening. Those people left in excellent physical health and all died within 6 months. It was euthanasia.

The Final Steps - Gun Laws:

Next came gun registration. People were getting injured by guns. Hitler said that the real way to catch criminals (we still had a few) was by matching serial numbers on guns. Most citizens were law abiding and dutifully marched to the police station to register their firearms. Not long afterwards, the police said that it was best for everyone to turn in their guns. The authorities already knew who had them, so it was futile not to comply voluntarily.

Freedom of speech was diminished by various regulations. Eventually, anyone who said something against the government was taken away. We knew many people who were arrested, not only Jews, but also priests and ministers who spoke up.

Totalitarianism didn’t come quickly, it took 5 years after 1938 to realize full dictatorship in Austria. Had it happened overnight, my countrymen would have fought it to the last breath. Instead, we had creeping gradualism. In 1943, our only weapons were broom handles. The whole idea is unbelievable now, that the state, little by little can take away our freedom.

After World War II, Russian troops occupied Austria. Women were raped, pre-teen to elderly. The press never wrote about this either. When the Soviets left in 1955, they took everything that they could, dismantling whole factories in the process. They sawed down whole orchards of fruit, and what they couldn’t destroy, they burned. We called it “The Burned Earth”. Most of the population barricaded themselves in their houses. Women hid in their cellars for 6 weeks in order to be safe. Those who couldn’t, paid the price. There is a monument in Vienna today, dedicated to those women who were massacred by the Russians. This is an eye witness account.

Those of us who sailed past the Statue of Liberty came to a country of unbelievable freedom and opportunity. America truly is the greatest country in the world. We mustn’t let freedom slip away.”
