    What is the correct way to analyze...

    A fun thing to do is construct a pinwheel. You can use three lengths of MLR's. 40, 20 and 10 work. Repeat this for each kind of "x" in your terms. One kind could be price another could be volume. Use separate display panes. To make it more fun use the OHLC of price to make four...

    Your reading suggestion has probably gotten a lot of mileage in most business schools. Business schools are an interesting tradition. When a person is in the risk business, hedging it is a very good idea. I feel so fortunate that I got into trading through the route I encountered. It...

    FreeMarket Rider: You said: "I'm not ready to write off the ideas or the efforts people have made to post them. I'm also not going to put my hard earned capital on the line based solely on what has been written here (show me the money or not). There are many version of "truth" that do work...

    I've read ALL 51 of TradeWrecker's posts. His struggle continues. I empathize with him and anyone who is dealing with a fading star approach. He suggests his sector is not meeting its announced potential. The announcement was probably only understood in the way he did in his reading of it...

    Do you consider money management an edge?

    I like the way nodoji included the trader in the market/trader relationship. With respect to market considerations alone, a critical thinker gets one answer. When the trader, is allowed to be part of the consideration , a different reasoned result occurs. Traders "earn" by the...

    Here are some views on how emotional signals result in "reasonable change in technique". As "sentiment change during dominance" was discussed by the group (we (7 people) met from 6:15 to 10:00MST), trade 2 was a wash and trade 3 was a loss. The attached shows the prevailing unwaffled view at...

    "Any potential trader can become successful by capitalizing on personal growth in a short and orderly process" the above is my statement. It is stated in a behavioral context. "capitalizing on personal growth in a short and orderly process" My version of "capitalizing on personal...

    I attached a replay of my prior BF comments in this thread. There are references and quotes. This reference only began in 1990. My primary trading reference was the 4th Ed of Edwards and Magee which I began using in 1957. For those who wish, check out my association with the Jung...

    Actually, there is no heat on quick thinking. You do know that you have a peak on the prior bar (bar 3) 12 seconds into the bar 4. You can see that the volatility and over lap of the bar 4 is increasing as the sym begins the bar. It goes to FBP and then it goes to a translating bar. this...

    Using volume only and not looking at price is a handicap. The best thing at this levle is annotating volume along side of doing the PRV price trough and peak analysis. The MADA routine is greatly enhanced by the logging. As you saw on the Cash Cow chart, there were only two trades for...

    Momentum reversals

    Use tuned indicators, annotate and log. The best indicator of price is volume, since volume leads price.

    High Frequency Trading World - Dec 6-8, Central Park, NY

    John Netto is speaking twice; that alone would be worth the price of admission. NYC is also attractive because of the wealth conscentration. Talk is cheap as you say. I'm sure there will be an abundance of HFT package reps there, too.

    This is an especially good commentary. But it may not be authoritive except that the person is stating his views of my commentary. I agree with him that he cannot understand my comments. One of the nice things about that site is the commentary following the disertation by the web site...

    The IRS value is a little low. The name you see posted is an alias of a person whose first handle was trader28. Some of the other comments are off by 500,000 to 1 million. I'm on several boards.

    Suppose you soup up your chart and ID the ten cases by putting boxes around to one that are "internals". You have to add ten cards for the cases and you have to include the word "internal" in the description where "internal" is applicable. Internals are combined to treat then as one...

    As you saw there were many trades beyond the two required trades for day 1 of Cycle 1. Does a person do the trades? If he does, then he is doing a drill. The drill allows him to use a plan and a strategy while doing a routine. The great thing is the Behavioral Finance foibles that keep...
