Thank you for the gentle reminder. Good luck.

Hi laz, My recollection is that they happened often enough. I guess one could say that they "failed" a lot. As I recall, the idea was to make something like 90 points or some such goal -- whatever happened to that? I guess those guys were the 4 out of 5. How about the earlier stock...

Ouch. Straw. Camel. As someone who has been on the receiving end of this stuff for years, I must doubt this statement. Over these years, I've never heard from anyone who actually "got it" by reading Jack's stuff or interacting with him. No one. I've interacted with Jack in live text...

Thanks for the reply. One mistake I made: What I meant was that it is continually harder and harder to follow your actions relative to your explanations. This refers to my experience over time. I have no idea how you produced the results you did, based on my understanding of what...

The trades don't really follow the SCT description you posted before. In particular, there are a few reversals that needed to sit through a loss for a while (S9, L10, S11, S15). So those trades weren't making money all the time. There were plenty of times where the SCT rules you...

Thank you for the detailed response. I worked for a good while on re-doing the day from 9:45 to 11:00 -- but it is much too difficult to tell what I would actually do. A fine example is the entry at the 9:45 bar (long entry at 1001.25). The 9:45 minute swings straight back across...

Okay, thank you. Also, thank you for the clarification on IF1. -- Jerome

I did give it a try today. Here's the main problem I had: 5-min bars very often go out 0.25 and then swing immediately back. So in fact what happened a couple of times in addition to the wash losses was that I couldn't react quickly enough to the swings and lost points rather than...

Also, if you pass a bar extreme in the other direction, you must have passed the close of the bar. So what use is IF1?

Jack, Have you or anyone ever really traded this way? I want to know the truth about this.

Okay. So IF1 and IF2 denote the regular trading and the APA is the reversal thing you do if the entry in the current bar gets revisited. You accomplish the APA by going to the next fractal down and performing the IF1 and IF2 assessment there? -- Jerome

I can guess till the cows come home what you mean exactly by the "APA" and still never guess correctly. My current guess is that you reverse off of bar ends, then reverse again if the price comes back through your entry. I guess in theory you do this as many times as necessary during the...

I thought these were actual trades that you had done that you were posting?

S3: wash reverse short bar 6 (9:55 bar) 998.25 Examining 1-min charts shows this trade must have occurred during the 9:59 minute. Examining time and sales shows that this trade must have occurred between 9:59:38 and 9:59:59. L4: wash reverse long bar 7 (10:00 bar) 998.25 Examining...

I guess if you preview, then you have to re-attach the file?
