Yea Dan. Jack has said in many places that there are lots of ways to make money. In all of the work I've done learning Jack's stuff trading manually, I've always kept another PC up with my system's trading tools. It's helpful when Icarus, BA, Easy and occassionally, Etlurker will tap us on...

Much respect Icarus regarding your comments on mentorship and transference. And I'm glad you saw where I was going. I don't see that we disagree necessarily but that our views are compatible, so I will just add more and hopefully respond adequately to other questions posed. How good a job...

Icarus/BA_trader, I think we all are pondering your recent posts very carefully, and I particularly enjoy your and everyone's participation. Personally, being a public aspirant to some form of beginner SCT, I have two takes on Icarus' post. Addressing Stalker (and others) in regards to SCT...

Dan, to add more to what Mak just explained, I also use BT occassionally and if you don't have the settings for fill delay set in BT, you will not get close to a realistic feel for what will happen live. The default settings in BT will fill you with one price touch (strategy runner used to do...

That's great news Mak. I offer free cutting, pasting and dictation services to fellow Jackers...LOL. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the PM txuk. You're right. I didn't see what you were pointing me to. Nwbprop's post didn't make a lot of sense to me at first. I didn't notice those were Jack's comments (duh). I also reread the placard story and saw I had that backwards too (geez). I've got a lot of screen...

I agree easy. I've read Sexy a dozen times and still find something in it. Anything with Jack and Scientist will sit you down for a while too. I found this post below from Jack that answers part of my question. Thanks txuk. I've found Jack's illustration of observing the minority on T&S...

I'm just seeing your latest response. In fact I have easy, and also other TDs Jack has posted shows the same thing. That's what gave me the gall to leave the setup approach alone and just go straight for SCT. What I haven't been able to reconcile is if Jack uses IF2 as a default rule or...

Interesting that you post this easy. It turns out we are dwelling in a similar place around now for some reason. IF2 comes to my mind when I reflect on "retracement on that bar only", especially considering the context of Jack's first post in the sexy idea thread....which is where I'm sitting...

Very true indeed Mak, and point taken. We all get frustrated and much venting is done through the forum so some posts should be viewed in this context (speaking for self). Let's make it plain, you can't hang with the dream team and not expect to put your work in. Thanks for your...

...comments from stalker Not hardly stalker. These are 2 contract scaleout trades on that PM BO and a few nickels from scalps/washes. Apparently, NT doesn't report scale trades very well. If you're live you're already doing better than me. Read Jack on EQ for what you're experiencing...

Fair enough Johnny. :D I'll take my cue. I have nothing else to add, or offer.

True, though I'm not sure I'm looking for a trading buddy. This and other Jack threads is plenty to accomplish what I need as long as there is continued pursuit and sharing of insights of Jack's methods. Care to join in? I'm particularly interested to hear your constructive views of "tacking"...

You're treading down a path that other's before you have traveled. You will find a lot of similar commentary and Q's in other Jack threads along the same lines. There you will also find some answers and suggestions. I prefer to defer in regard to your specific points since it has been quite a...

Mak, your posts are always insightful and welcomed, thanks :). If I may, I'd like to play devil's advocate a moment and play off of one of your metaphors in an attempt to further the intellectual discourse. Spyder is THE MAN for what he's done, but Jack's equities strategy does not require...
