Fact and Fantasy - Truth and Illusion

A fact that many readers on this website will surely notice, is that we don't post blogs too often. The reason is simple; we post when we believe we have something of value to say.....like this wonderful observation from Marcus Aurelius - the once Roman emperor and philosopher.

"What you hear is not fact, just opinion.....

what you see is not truth, just perception"

As a trader this is the best advice anyone could give you. No one knows the future yet many pundits make proclamations as to what will happen and what won't.

Listening to all the opinions out there can become a serious distraction. My advice, if you are actually in a trade, don't watch TV or listen to the radio. Watch your trade and observe what the market is actually doing. Always try to be on the right side of the market, since the market is the only valid opinion. 

The best indicator of all is the price chart. The price chart does not lie...it simply states what is!
