Three things. One, don't be in too much of a rush to get back into trading. If your experiences here are not what you expected them to be, then back off and go back to observing. If you can't follow your rules, then consider how you came about those rules. Perhaps you made some assumptions that...

And my point was that there are a great many people entering this country every day who are not citizens of the US. Even if one assumes that measles were brought into this country from outside, one cannot assume that it was an illegal alien who brought it. Of course, we could bar anyone who...

What I wrote was "everyone". It isn't just illegals who get sick or who carry.

Continued good work.

The answer, of course, is to require proof of vaccination from everyone on every flight into the US. Everyone. Sort of like they were flying into Bangladesh, since we continue to behave like a third-world country. Limbaugh and Breitbart. Good grief.

The market does not always show its hand quickly and clearly. If traders are confused and don't know what they want, then you have little to work with. As always, just follow whatever rules you have and don't try to be cute. If you're following the SLA and you have consecutive failures on both...

Given a choice between Ed Seykota and you, I'll go with Seykota.

If by "power" you mean requiring vaccinations, yes.

So all the anti-vaxxers here are actually leftist liberals? Who'd'a thought?

People do get what they want out of the market. Most want to lose, so they do. A few want to win, so they engage in winning behavior.

If nothing else, this arc serves to filter out the truly stupid from the rational. So far, only one person, other than me, is in the rational camp.

"You don’t tell me how to raise my kids to avoid reviving a horrific illness that hasn’t been seen on our shores since our grandparents were children, and I won’t tell you how to raise yours. Look, I’ve done the research on these issues, I’ve read the statistics, and I’ve carefully considered...

Well, in a mean-reverting instrument, the mean represents the value area by default. It is possible for trades to cluster at one extreme and speed to the opposite and cluster there before shooting back to the starting place, but that's not the way it works out due to the negotiating/bargaining...

Interesting that righties would get their panties all in a twist about ebola, but when it comes to measles, pfft! And how many people have died of measles so far this season?

As an example, here's a chart that 40 posted today. If one had not plotted the halfway level on this chart, which could be done as soon as price reached its high, he probably wouldn't have attached much significance to what turned out to be -- perhaps -- a "head and shoulders" (I say "perhaps"...

The reason for keeping a public journal is generally to seek comments, opinions, suggestions. Otherwise, what's the point? As to persuading you to change something, I have not done so as I don't understand what you're doing. Therefore, there's nothing to enjoy. But, as I said, if this meets...

There are nuances that become clear as one observes, tests, and trades with Wyckoff and the S/A. I included a couple of these -- the hinge and the Dog -- in the pdf because they come up practically every day. But this business of "failures" is difficult for someone who hasn't spent a lot of time...

Unfortunately, if other traders haven't the least idea what the journalist is doing, making the trades visible doesn't accomplish much. But whatever makes the journalist happy.:)

4100, because of the low on the 28th. The round number may or may not have had anything to do with price behavior at that level, but the more important factor was the action on the 28th. Consider also, though, that price dropped to it and through it WHAM! There wasn't any waffling around. If...

A professor, eh? Hmmm. Am I becoming a subject?:)
