    Thinking of throwing in the towel

    Thank you so much for correcting my paging error; it was 173 and not 172. My memory is less than perfect. Darvas preceded WJO'N by a few years. I was trading stocks at that time too. All three of us have one pagers for doing stocks. Mine is called PVT and has about five rules for using a...

    Thinking of throwing in the towel

    The financial industry has really fucked itself. It certainly will get what it deserves. The way to beat the industry is to extract the market's full offer and then put the money to work to help people who played by the rules and got fucked by the financial industry. Anyone anywhere can...

    Getting a "real" job as a trader

    Looking for the 2012 S&P forecast target from various analysts

    I guess it turns out we were not able to communicate and have a common chart reference. I annotated my observations on your chart. If others are interested, it is very important to have reliable and consistent charts. While the market is events based and not time based, it is important to...

    Advice to Beginners!

    Sure. The book has about 10 or 12 chapters each of which features a common mistake made by publishers. They read a chapter a day and cut and pasted clippings from contemporary news. Check out the "gee whiz" graphs in your financial news sections of publications. Regarding your...

    Looking for the 2012 S&P forecast target from various analysts

    Your modification of the chart is showing a VE of price only on the left trend line. What I did to help you out was show you how volume leads price and how volume and price are interlocked. So, if you modify a chart, please modify both volume and price. The green book mark suspended in...

    Looking for the 2012 S&P forecast target from various analysts

    On this chart I added point 3's and annotated the three FTT's You can also notice I used the thin blue lines to show price movement in sub fractals (three per movement.) As you noted in your chart (thank you) price can do a lot of brief movements within a trading fractal. Hypostomus is...
