Jack, I have a question on post #154. When you refer to jumping fractals with Triads while trading, is it correct to conclude that by doing this, we override the three-tick early exit criteria and hold the triad trades even when price leaves the pink area as long as the triad hasn't failed...

Thanks wilddog and river, I've learned from my husband that people rage about Jack all the time but if you are willing to put in the time and use common sense, his method does work. Thanks for looking over my drills! I like to see other people's drills...it helps me to fill in the gaps in my...

River: In the mean time, you could catch up on the drills and post them for the benefit of others. Jack said you don't have to participate, but it shows your desire to work and learn the process. I don't think anyone besides me has completed all the drills. Who wants to continue teaching...

There are 4. That was posted already so make sure you read through all the posts. There is a Peak, (largest volume in the middle), Trough (lowest volume in the middle), Increasing and Decreasing.

Drill 7 and 8. Drill 7 was a bit hard. I know how to set up a chart the way I would like for it to work, but I have never set it up to view the market with in real time before and I don't know how to. I need to set up a trading account and link up Ninja Trader to it. I did my best with what...

Drill 6 - MADA Sorry I have been away from the posts. I have finals this week and then I will be done with school and focus more on these drills. I have never worked with a trading program before so Drill 7 will be a little shaky for me. I will try to get both Drill 7 and 8 in the next two...

I did my first chart and tried my best to do drill 5 before your lack post, Jack. I used the information I drew from that exercise to try my best to complete the drills you. Drill 5 Chart. Conclusions. I wrote some conclusions I came to...I also decided it was best to to draw every peak and...

Here is Drill 4. I didn't differentiate color combination of the bars, as I likened this drill to the price bar relationships. I can redo if necessary. I included equal price bars despite them being extremely rare, as they are a technical possibility. The names: A - first bar high combos, B -...

Here are my charts for drill 3, filled out. I didn't catch the post about the two-legged bars "missing a leg"... so some internals are marked wrong, but I understand now. I had a bit of trouble trying to decide which direction to make some of the internals, but I realized I was...

Here are last weeks blank charts with volume. 2-24-14 to 2-28-14 if you want to use them. I will post the next set of drills shortly. Thank you!

I tried to follow the drill for finding the 1 and 2 leg price bars. I found 14 2 leg drills going through them, but I am unsure which ones do not qualify.

Okay, I added the lateral to the chart and did my best with the algebraic expressions. I was not sure exactly how to express the lateral. I know there are more intricacies one a lateral is established--like the low of bar.0 can be lower as long as it closes inside the lateral. Is that to be...

Hello, I am new to these forums and haven't traded before. My husband taught me a bit about price cases and the volume elements. That's about as far as my trading knowledge goes. I am going to follow your journal and complete the exercises. Thank you for starting this. There are 9 variations...
