For those of you still struggling or doubtful, I thought I'd add my most recently available 2 cents. Without question I am seeing things that I couldn't before. I'd have swore what I now see didn't even previously exist, and of course, that's ridiculous. The three things I'm doing to achieve...

This morning on bar 4 (about 1/2 way through bar) I called an FTT. Early in bar 5, the volume situation made it look more like a flaw to me and I reversed to short. I was happily rewarded. This is the first time I recognized a flaw of this nature so early on. Credit is due to the review of...

Ensign ate all my lines on the YM :( so I don't have my annotations at the time in question. Looking back I"m not sure YM would have helped me, but to be honest I don't have a lot of confidence in my use of YM, which is currently limited to monitoring at the LTL. Any insight appreciated.

Spyder, Could you please review the attachement when conventient and comment? I know others I speak with have the same issue. It boils down to making the initial call correctly, and then what appears to be cause to reverse turns out to be false move.

I'd like to say a few words beyond simply agreeing with Spyder's comments, as it may well help others. Roughly 4-6 weeks ago I felt like I was really starting to get this whole deal. Scratch that, I was getting it. Several weeks of daily chart work after having put the bigger puzzle pieces...

I believe Spyder said something similar to ... "if it doesn't touch it's an FTT".

I picked one doozy of a day to start trading again (off for 3 weeks for a rehab/move). I count 11 change signals (r2r or b2b) on the YM in row. Adjacent signals.

Spyder suggested this as a learning tool to me. When I did it, I wasn't even paper trading at the time. Personally, I get real nervous the further from the best possible entry I get in (whether with real $$$ or otherwise) so I like to enter or annotate as close to actual FTT as possible. By the...

Man, this sure sounds a lot like where I was roughly 5 or 6 weeks ago. I did two things that transformed my situation. First, I followed Spyder's suggestion to NOT annotate an FTT UNTIL the bar AFTER the bar I thought was an FTT closed. I did this for a good week or so. It quickly became...

Terminator, I just reviewed both files you attached and I don't see what you do, but my perspective may not be the same as yours. Here is the sequence that is ideal, keeping in mind that ideal is just that. The real world offers varying tones to the palette. You get FTT and then, while...

I suspect part of your problem is understanding what resolution level you are on and then being sure to apply the correct rule set. The 2 ftt's you have marked are indeed ftt's of DOMINANT TRAVERSES. What comes after a dominanat? NON-DOM. Then you get to monitor what happens at RTL. At a big...

Here is PDF to show how to set up for Ensign. Please PM if you have questions in order to keep thread clean.

Freakin incredible. 73 pages. The title of the thread is "Objections to SCT". Be my guest. It's like saying, "I object to your choice of breakfast cereals". It's difficult for me to tune in to the level of fear that exists in the world today, but threads like this make it very clear this is...

Flier, It is STRONGLY recommended that you avoid using any kind of PRV tool to start. Just use an egg timer or whatever. Calculate in your head, it really is quite easy and you'll learn so much more. Spyder has said this time and again. In TS you should be able to color volume bars by...

Works just fine. I've traded options, stocks, US futures, Asian futures; all from same account. Been with IB for over 5 years.

Complete answer is right on their web site.

Optionpro, This should be a clear sign to you that you haven't done the work. You need to go back and start at the beginning. Slowly. There are no short cuts. If you had taken the time to read the thread, even cursorily, you would already have the answer to your question. Forest level...

Ah, 97 pages later. I'm truly impressed with how tightly locked so many peoples minds are. I'll leave you with this thought, I'm not subscribed, so don't expect any arguing or whatever. If your life is exactly how you like it, great, nuff said. If it isn't, maybe it's time to do a bit of home...

I am honing in, my new found skill set seems to be for real. As I get more screen time, I am seeing very specific sequences to ask about... Today, on at least two occasions, the following sequence happened: Got forest level FTT > price moved away from FTT (down) > point 2 formed > retrace...

I’m pretty sure I have received a “religious experience”, although mine has been strung out over a few days. This morning’s chart work made something very clear. Some days ago, Aurum suggested that I was predicting. I swore I wasn’t. Yet, a deeper part of me knew I was. This morning...
