zig-zag-zoom!

dip your shoes in blue ink

and walk 20 steps

in one direction

on a red carpet!

--

now remove your shoes

come back bare foot

and join (with a marker pen)

every left footprint

with the next right footprint

and further join

this right footprint

with its next left footprint!

--

what do you get?

a line joining the footprints

in a zig zag pattern

left-right-left-right-left......

but still moving

in a definite direction!

--

same thing happens in stock market!

market moves on its two feet

of "high" and "low"

in a zig zag way

but always in a particular direction!

--

traders confuse the zig and zag

as the change in direction!

they focus on direction of zig AND direction of zag

and not on the direction of zig-zag!!

--

consequently, the fear takes the better of them

and they chicken out!

--

those who are well-versed with the market's wavered walk

ignore both the zig as well as the zag!

instead, they just keep an eye on the net direction of the zig-zag!

--

with practice

they can tell

when the zig-zag changes its direction

and hence the trend!

and with it, they change the direction of their trade as well!!!

--

zig zag is the last dodging tactic of the market.

the trader

who can see through this tactic

has got the ultimate master key to riches!!!

looking for a jackpot?

9 out of 10

traders in the stockmarket

expect to hit a jackpot

sooner or later!

--

rather, they expect this to happen

sooner THAN later!!

--

probably as soon as today

if not right now!!!

--

so much so

that their entire trading system

and psychology

and habits

are heavily tilted towards

this overwhelming subconscious expectation!

--

it is an open secret

that jackpots

generally don't show up

often!

--

majority traders

have greyed their

trading hair

while waiting ashore

the stock market river

with their expectation nets

immersed deep

without any jackpot catch!

--

on the contrary

they have spent and lost

enough bait pennies

to make a jackpot

of their own!!!

--

those few traders who did stumble on a jackpot

more out of luck

than by design

lost it double fast

and remained hypnotised

for the rest of their lives!

--

rare events like jackpot

happen

rarely

and unexpectedly,

if at all!

--

you can't make

trading castles

on the sandy shore

of jackpot expectations!

--

instead

start with small and steady gains

thru a dependable method

improve it

convert it

into a habit

and then

try to increase the size of the gains

systematically and safely!

the returns this way

will not be jackpot

but jackdrum!!!

--

in a research in U.S.

it was proved

that bumblebees

prefer those species of flower

which assure steady availability of nectar.

they avoid those species of flowers

which may, at times,

yield

a "jackpot" of nectar

but majority of the times

return the bee empty mouth!!

--

not surprisingly

bees fill more pots of nectar in their lifetime

than a jack!!!
