logical sense....

This trading commodities idea is baffling. However, I had an email from a reader, who has traded for thirty years, give me a good analogy. He said that wondering what the markets will do each day is like a dancer anticipating what their partner's next move is going to be. Now, since I was a ballroom dance instructor for ten years, I can relate to this comparison. You see, in ballroom dancing, the male partner is the lead. He decides what the next dance move will be. I, being the follower, had to decipher his signal and move how he wanted. You do this without saying a word.

Same for the markets. I'm learning to decipher the charts: watching the prices, number of buyers and sellers, and the news, then, following their lead.

There my logical mind just made sense of an abstract concept!
