The market is not a chart, the chart is the price
The market is not a chart
A chart is a price
The price is not a chart
The price has form
Forms are formed by the struggle of price
That very struggle is all that forms the Dow Theory shape
Market nature is not investing
Market nature is ultimately a matter of bargaining
Bargaining and gambling are similar
Gambling simply does not incorporate the long-term results of bargaining
Gambling, at its root, is also investment-like
Market nature is similar to poker
But it is not governed by rules like poker
To succeed in FX
You need a form of probabilistic thinking like bargaining
An invisible mental analysis
Because market nature is not a chart
In reality, you can increase your funds by watching only the price and not the chart
Let's consider stop-loss without the concept of winning or losing
A stop-loss can be acknowledged if, within one week, the net result is positive
But if within one week the net result is negative, you cannot acknowledge a stop-loss
This also applies to unrealized gains and losses
With unrealized gains, if it comes back up, you can justify taking profit as a stop-loss = a stop-loss
With unrealized losses, can you admit a stop-loss? = you cannot do a stop-loss
That’s about the idea
Ultimately, standards are set based on this losing or decreasing mindset
These standards cause trading with uncertainty and negative aspects
What you need for bargaining is composure
You don’t have to demand perfection
In bargaining
Charts are a nuisance
The reason is that chart candles, especially candlesticks, can lead to negative thinking as prices move forward
However, as time passes, results can diverge from that negative analysis
In other words, you may see wicks on candlesticks or prices retrace
And switch to a positively trending market for you
But if you are just watching the price
You are saying you did not engage in negative analysis, market, or thinking
In this case, you need to change where you look at the chart
In other words, stop focusing on minor chart movements
And pursue the shape alone
Since the shape is the struggle of price
View it in Dow Theory form
Dow Theory aggregates all traders' expectations
Even if there is no underlying meaning
There exists a kind of form
If it is not the traders’ expectations
But simply a chart formed by banks and hedge funds joining forces
That analysis itself becomes "material for bargaining" and thus "the meaning is fully established"
Traders who profit using technical analysis
Profit because they use technical analysis as material for bargaining
Those who lose are because they "use technical analysis itself," leading to confusion and losses
