Rick your post's lately have been great, Thanks for sharing.
You addressed some of this previously in some of your posts and I'd appreciate if you could comment on whether I'm getting the right idea or not. (I know this is very broad).
IF the big players are moving the price in the direction which is most profitable for THEM, that would mean they are moving price in the opposite direction to what the MAJORITY of traders are believing the direction to be. (To hit stop losses). THEN to be profitable traders, we should understand this is occurring and trade with the big players not against them. By identifying where people are placing their stops (Accumulation Zones) and trading into them.
Doesn't that mean we are battling with each other? Not the charts.
I'm not sure if I'm making any sense, but I'm very interested in your trading psychology.
