Linkon, this is why in Camel's that he has found what is best for him. Being winners in a game where only 90% do win is all that really matters.
I personally feel my human incapabilities, even though my confidence may be belie that that thought. I needed to construct a methodology that I could depend on that would simply show me the way to profitable positions, and that is what my methodology has done for me, and yes, indicator ensconced.
As far as feeling like God almighty, I do feel that way, but that has nothing to do with my trading but my everyday living. I'm his son, and he's my Father, and so I take on his traits, and that as beautiful as life gets. Whew! Now even trading takes a back seat.
I'll be happy to post for you the weeklies on any market you have an interest in, or post a chart to show how price reacts relative to my S&R's. Over at Nifty Intraday Pivot Points, I do post my weeklies and monthlies regularly, but at my thread, "Some of my forecasts", I'll post whatever you want. Featured there, are my Weekly Forecasts, and their Previews at the end of the week. My S&R's revolve so much around my forecasting and trading and the accuracy thereof.
And you're right! My S&R's are a variation of other S&R's you have already seen. Really none of us have anything that is original, and that includes my S&R's, because it is a variant. I happen to have devised them the way I did, because they have proven to be the most effective. After all, the only thing I really search for is anything that gives me the greatest edge on the markets. I want to make sure that I have the most unfairest advantage over the markets. They are confined to their cyclical patterns. It is up to the trader, to define them, find then, and then trade accordingly.
4xp,
I think what camel has done with ichi is called "analysis paralysis". I do that all the time and can vouch for frustration it leads to. We take a simple system..keep adding new info and then the info-overflow starts to create doubts and then we attempt to make it simple, making rules of priority of info and ultimately, a simple system has become a monster and we have to start at the drawing board all over again with nothing but price and volume on the chart....
When this process is done frequently, we ultimately develop a respect for price and volume and all the dressing that made it look pretty / ugly seems like a un-necessary defacement of something already beautiful... That my friend, is the eureka moment where the aura lits up and we feel like God almighty with a halo on the head ...
Till that moment, 4xpip, you and I, are destined to stay with our love for indicators, as mere mortals with fear and greed as accompaniment.
btw, I like to have a look at ur proprietary stoch and SAR. I am sure i have come across some variation of the same and when a soul-mate says they found a new angle, my eyes lit up wt expectations...
