    Thank you very much for your reply. I am sorry you seem to have a hard time believing me. I was completely away from my computer for 6 3/4 days. If you saw me online, it's because my wife was doing some research on the thread that I asked her for so that my mind could be really clear. I did do...

    I just sort of answered my own question: Spyder mentioned how you can tell in 3 bars whether a day is going to be a WorM (range bound) or trend. I have literally spent 20 or 30 hours considering this. I've studied the chart on the day he said that. THe best I can say is it looks like first 3...

    LMAOROLF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, call me super duper idiot. I take things literally. For all this time, I thought that was the forest level rules. As I saw no discussion on filtering out various types of point 3's. Bear, not sure if I follow you on the other idea. You mean a pt3 down near...

    Not really so easy. Take a look again. The second red bar is an inside bar. I was told that you ignore volume on inside bars and wait for the b/o. By the time the b/o occurrs, you have a blk bar on increasing volume. And we're at bar to bar at this point, so you can't just ignore that black bar...

    In my defence, vis a vis the idea that I focus on what doesn't work, I'd like to point out that Spyder has on more than one occaision suggested we review his charts, do our own homework, and find out what we see. That's all I did. I'm not trying to disprove anything. I'm looking for a way to see...

    Thank you Pro. I appreciate your feedback and your comments last Monday. Attached is one of Spyders charts. You'll note there are eight pt3's annotated. Of those, I see six of them NOT on increasing volume. I'm extraordinarily disappointed that Spyder has chosen not to respond directly to any...

    Since my return to studies, I am focusing on understanding only one thing: identifying pt3's. Mak has stated (some time ago) and I took Spyder's silence on the issue to mean he agreed, that pt3's by definition occurr on increasing volume over the prior bar. I think this has been talked about...

    Gotcha, I think it would be pointless to get Ensign for just the 2min. FOr a complete setup that works right and is easy to use, it's about the best deal I've found.

    Ouch, I thought you were making $$$ :) It's $39 a month. For someone who has spent thousands on professional tools, this seems like peanuts to me ( I mean in non-trading arenas).

    Steve, I can't help you on QT, but I'd like to mention I've been using Ensign for about 6 months now and love it. There is soooo much you can do with it. It's set up so that non-programmers can quasi-program. Let me know if you try it out, and I can answer any questions and send you my...

    I have you noticed when IB gets bad review

    Hmm, I guess that means a lot more people must like IB than not.

    This is quite incorrect. Change on one resolution can easily be continuation on another.

    I just took 4 complete days off, away from trading and charts. Prior to that, there have been several breaks of a similar period throughout the summer. If you really think that 7 days versus 4 days will make that big a difference, I'll try it. I won't post, reply to PM's or look at any charts...

    You may be right. I thought I was still stuck at the basics. Perhaps even the most fundamental concepts need to be absorbed in a personal way. I hope this is not the case, because frankly, after 8 months, it's not likely a miracle will happen. I am aware of so much baggage from other methods...

    Good stuff Nk, You say my 13:00 "short" was limb level. I count nine (9) bars comprising what I say is a pt3 channel. We had a down tape, then a break of the down tape, then + prv down. How would you have read it different AT THAT TIME. I saw clearly the pt3 which was the limb pt2, in real...

    David, thank you for your post. Frankly, at this point it's moot. I posted during the day in the hopes that, while things were fresh in my mind, some discussion on perspective and mind-set on specific situations could follow. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone, as I've posted so many...

    Steve, my deepest apologies for forgeting to mention you on last post. This post hits the nail on the head. You approach things totally differently. I strongly suspect you see most of this pretty differently too. That's where the problem lies, you understood what Spyder has layed out in a way...

    Am I losing my mind. Avi asked me to post my chart and I immediatley did. It's back just a couple pages. I have not regularly posted my chart because often I can't do the whole day and didn't want to clog up the thread. Additionally, Mike posted a bunch of quotes from other posts that really...

    MY apologies, I admit I can be a boob at times. That chart snippet has an incorrect note. It should read: "Which Way to Draw the Green Line" iow's, how to know how to draw the gaussian
