Neo> Would you mind explaining what you mean by discretionary trader?


My trade entry/exit is not triggered by a specific value of any indicator
or line study.  I do not take every trade that my scan produces.

I read chart patterns and my trade decision is therefore subjective.  Steve
Karnish's ideas are causing me to become more mechanically ORIENTED.  
Having attended the Dow Jones Telerate Seminars for many years, most of the
consistently successful traders/instructors use a mechanical approach with
great discipline and money management.  (See Larry Williams' OOPS! method
or Larry Connor's New's Reversals.)

Remember though, one has to trade the methodology that suits one's
personality.
