Greetings, I also want to thank the Prof. and JJ. This thread has vaulted my trading to the next level.I'm not sure how life works,but the fact that I was looking for a way to read a chart that made sense to me,and I happen to stumble across this topic,which was not the original post,makes...

Greetings ProfLogic, Thank you again for your time.I hope to be able to do the same for you or another if I ever develop a profitable discipline. You hit the nail on the head as far as making fewer trades,patience is essential in this game.It is likely my biggest obstacle. Like I...

Greetings, THis thread has been very helpful,I must admit my trading career is taking some hits trying to come up with a stratregy.Jimmy Jams outline is well put together,making it work is the hard part. Looking at a chart post mortem,its easy to see where S/R held ,and failed,and how a...

Greetings, This is a litle off topic,but pertains somewhat.Using the volume or tick data gives me patterns that I can pick up on,the problem I am having is buying support and selling resistance. Im sure someone like Mark Douglas understands it,have any of you gone through the fear of...

Greetings, Any thoughts on a place to look for a decent fund lilke you are talking about? cordially Tom

Greetings, Im not sure what instrument you are trading,but for futures,IBs booktrader coupled with QT is the best bang for the buck. The speed of IB compared to other retail brokers is unmatched.While trading YM on my laptop,with a wireless connection,I can trade anywhere Verizon has...

Greetings, Thanks to Fearless 9,and also to the Prof. May I ask to all involved how QT would handle this type of trade data.Should I upgrade to dedicated system for futes? As to the original premise,I understand the concept of tick charts,but am having difficulty understanding the...

Greetings Prof. Thanks for one of the top shelf topics. My personality and style suits me for daytrading,with a desired goal of picking up 15 ym points per day x 5 contracts.Initially this looks like an excellent type of read for doing that. Could you offer any suggestions as where to...

Greetings, While I think the 200 contract system is may be a bit extreme,trying to capture a portion of the daily range is a fairly safe play. I don't think the "pros" know when anyone is in a trade,alot of them give away their customers money just like a "rube".Im not sure why daytrading...

Greetings, Lets not forget the "greed" factor,the writer of the program does have a price.I think it would be great if the "big money" went "auto",the best traders in the world would be hackers. As for "John Q Public",they will get fleeced again. cordially Tom

Greetings, I would like to thank all that pointed out Mark Douglas' book,was expecting another method book,and got something that changed my thinking about everything.I see this journal has taken off,with differing opinions.All good as far as I'm concerned. With trading," the absolute rule...
