    I'm catching up to the progress made by those working. During you daily debriefing it is a good idea to note where and when you didin't "know that you knew". The easiest places to point out to yourself are in the omissions sector of your doing MADA. Sceondly, as we see, the market...

    You probably noticed that there are two concerns for dong "two line analysis". 1. Tuning the two lines to the instrument and its market, and 2. Recognizing the six possibilities of the two lines and their respective order of events. As you see concern 1 is not met. Why is not the...

    Is this the reason why so many fail?

    A person could look at alll the traders, past and present, and simply categorize them by their wants, needs, approaches, and personal characters. Dwelling on the early person success of individual traders is probably the most incitful. Did the people you keep in touch with get off to an...

    LOL... What was going to happen was posted on a chart on the 5th. Page 64 on my counter. This is page 71. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2828415 The green arrows going off the chart show the moves from the last data point. LOL........

    Bar 53 is an OB. OB's are considered cases and their unique and interesting characterisitic is that they represent two points in the language of the patternon a bar to bar fractal. There is a drill where you do 1600 bars and use a few steps. As I remember they are steps 6 through 9 and...

    as we follow the M1 and M2, we get to shove the Blue SF rtl up into where the misplaced TF 3 rtl is and we shove the TF3 up so the M1 ftt is new point 3. I didn't move those lines so you can see how not doing acceleration delays the trader's ability to make money by using the MADA and its...

    We stay in the zone for 8 more bars AND only then does the M1 and M2 begin. In terms of learning it is a good idea to have the "zones" in place to be able to have an awareness of this information. Our rules for anotating give us the wisdom and our minds CAN summon this once it is in place...

    On bar 35 the SF LTL drawn in is broken as a VE; then the LTL of the TF3 is broken as a VE. And the ltl of the FF3 is missing and not annotated. Here are the lines slicing bar 35

    This part of the first illustration is annotated to make a point about the green bookmark on the FF. The ftt of the FF is there (See top of bar 30). I was erasing some lines to get the chart as simple as possible; it may be blurred a little. We are long from the FTT of TF2. There is...

    THe approach I recommend is a deductive one based on a paradigm (PEP), its applications (PVT, SCT and SSR) and a routine (MADA). The key to learning is to use the pattern for mind building (drills technique)which shows the manifestation of PEP and its applications. Your comment above may fit...

    Lets look at starting a day. There has to be a point 1 in play on each carry over fractal. It is subject to the degapping that you do. you handle this by putting the opening bar within the three boundaries of the three fractals and proceed from there. I have posted several prints...

    critique. ftt's and FTT's are not getting done successfully in many places on these charts. I beleive there is a consequence: A person has to waita while to see if things are working correctly. this can generate "feelings". The feelings switch from MADA feelings to OODA feelings inmy...

    I've been looking at the charts everyone posted. By examining them in detail, I get to see what is at hand to proceed. I put up the critiques and drills because I have seen how people follow a path to success and do the drills suggested to accomplish two things: give background quickly and...

    the P, V relationship is not complex. When it is stated as a paradigm where everything is "like kind", then trading moves from inductive based betting to non probabilistic deductive "sufficiency" and "certainty". No noise and no anomalies.

    My comments do relate to extracting the offfer. When the leading indicators of price are used judiciously or with an ATS (based upon my comments) and within market trading platform tools, a "perfect order" usually results. specifically, using "reversals" which are symmetric and optimally...

    Looking for an alternative to NinjaTrader

    So far, I have not found it possible to use a single platform. From my experience, platform developers and proferers do not do trading nor do they concern themselves with trading strategies. The interfacing of ATS's with data and with trading platforms both have serious contemporary issues...

    No, I just use TA and how the P, V relationship works in markets. I read the P, V relationship in 1957 in 4th Ed of Magee and I have used it ever since. All the major TA indicators had been done before 1957. You may be able to notice that each parallelogram has three easy trades. By...
