Holy Grail

[jacky o]

Some traders talk about trading system design and its pitfalls and when they do this, they often talk about the search for the Holy Grail. Then they talk about the obsession of finding a specific indicator that will guarantee continual success in the markets. Then, there are software packages that come with indicators that are known as the Holy Grail and this adds to the mythology of an ultimate indicator. Unfortunately, only a few understand the legend behind this search and even fewer understand its relevancy to trading and how understanding the legend can improve trading performance.

This is thought provoking. Please explain what you think the link is between the legend and trading and how knowing the legend improves trading performance.
