Why Helicoptor is better than a Microscope!

A microscope goes very close to the thing.

It almost enters it!

A helicoptor sees everything from the top.

It looks at the big picture, the context...

It sees the trend, the flow, the formation, the direction, the reason!

A microscope makes a mountain out of the mole!

The helicoptor puts that mountain in the right perspective!

Even a small vibration looks like a monster fluctuation when seen with a microscope!

And even a big move looks like a friend from a helicoptor.

Detectives should use magnifying glasses and microscopes, not traders.

I find many weak-hearted traders chicken out of a trade just because of their habit of being glued to the microscope.

Traders should look at the graph from a helicoptor.

They should see every move of the graph as part of the broader picture and pattern.

What looks like a crisis in a microscope is often seen as a mouth-watering opportunity from the trader in the helicoptor!

Have a look at the following two charts of the same situation, one as seen from a microscope and the other from a helicoptor-
