By: Charles_Maley
When it comes to the things that count, we humans don’t like to admit that we live in a world we know very little about. We also have a tendency to place a premium on the little that we know, and discount the larger amount that we don’t know.

You will be well rewarded.

By: Nadeem_Walayat
Theories, methodologies and systems abound that purport to be the holy grail of trading, the usual tendency is towards ever greater complexity where the reader just needs to commit that bit further before they 'get it' usually by which time many years have passed and the shelves are full of materials, an example of this is found in Gann Analysis, yes W.D.
