You can spend years looking for the best trading indicator.

Or you can just read this:

I've spent the last 7 years meeting the best traders in the world... and I realized they ALL use the same indicator.

The absolute best trading indicator in the world is your gut.
Like every indicator—before it can give reliable signals—it needs to be studied.

Your intuition only becomes finely tuned after a lot of trials and errors.

Let me explain...
First, we need to understand what intuition is. (that gut feeling)

As traders, intuition is how we make decisions without conscious thought.
Intuition grows (slowly) every time you see the same pattern unfold.

In other words, the more you trade, the more accurate your intuition gets.

Intuition is no different from muscle memory.
After practicing for a long time, 'muscle memory' kicks in...

...and you don't have to think or overthink how to do something.

Your intuition is familiar with how this pattern (likely) plays out.

Way more efficient. Right?
In trading, this is how you execute without hesitation.

It is effortless.

So, how do we tap in?
Intuition grows as your memory bank grows. (and it's piling up subconsciously)

The more observant you are, the higher quality your memories will be.

The higher the quality of the memory, the more informed your intuition will be.
Listening to your intuition doesn't mean you disregard logic and rules.

You always work within a framework...

It means that with proper focus, education, and TIME — your gut feelings will become incredibly accurate.
Average traders do a lot of really hard thinking.

The absolute best traders don't think so much... they just execute.

How to time the market (thread)

There is the old saying that “Time in the market beats timing the market” The chart below from Dr. Wish’s @WishingWealth presentation at the @TraderLion_ conference shows that to be false.

The green line is unattainable realistically, however, missing volatile times during corrections yields better performance than buy and hold and we can aim for the green line.

Investors usually only show the gray and red results.

There are many strategies for investing/trading in the stock market operating within different timeframes and with different objectives.

That is of course what creates a market and opportunity. Timing the market may not be what works for you or what fits your goals/lifestyle.

However, everyone involved in the market is here to make money over time and corrections can cause huge drawdowns in the high alpha names negating incredible performance during strong market uptrends.

🌺कैसे बने गरुड़ भगवान विष्णु के वाहन और क्यों दो भागों में फटी होती है नागों की जिह्वा🌺

महर्षि कश्यप की तेरह पत्नियां थीं।लेकिन विनता व कद्रु नामक अपनी दो पत्नियों से उन्हे विशेष लगाव था।एक दिन महर्षि आनन्दभाव में बैठे थे कि तभी वे दोनों उनके समीप आकर उनके पैर दबाने लगी।


प्रसन्न होकर महर्षि कश्यप बोले,"मुझे तुम दोनों से विशेष लगाव है, इसलिए यदि तुम्हारी कोई विशेष इच्छा हो तो मुझे बताओ। मैं उसे अवश्य पूरा करूंगा ।"

कद्रू बोली,"स्वामी! मेरी इच्छा है कि मैं हज़ार पुत्रों की मां बनूंगी।"
विनता बोली,"स्वामी! मुझे केवल एक पुत्र की मां बनना है जो इतना बलवान हो की कद्रू के हज़ार पुत्रों पर भारी पड़े।"
महर्षि बोले,"शीघ्र ही मैं यज्ञ करूंगा और यज्ञ के उपरांत तुम दोनो की इच्छाएं अवश्य पूर्ण होंगी"।


महर्षि ने यज्ञ किया,विनता व कद्रू को आशीर्वाद देकर तपस्या करने चले गए। कुछ काल पश्चात कद्रू ने हज़ार अंडों से काले सर्पों को जन्म दिया व विनता ने एक अंडे से तेजस्वी बालक को जन्म दिया जिसका नाम गरूड़ रखा।जैसे जैसे समय बीता गरुड़ बलवान होता गया और कद्रू के पुत्रों पर भारी पड़ने लगा


परिणामस्वरूप दिन प्रतिदिन कद्रू व विनता के सम्बंधों में कटुता बढ़ती गयी।एकदिन जब दोनो भ्रमण कर रहीं थी तब कद्रू ने दूर खड़े सफेद घोड़े को देख कर कहा,"बता सकती हो विनता!दूर खड़ा वो घोड़ा किस रंग का है?"
विनता बोली,"सफेद रंग का"।
तो कद्रू बोली,"शर्त लगाती हो? इसकी पूँछ तो काली है"।
