    How old are you?

    You are correct. Becoming aware that the 30 to 40 category is missing does take some doing. My category is missing, too.

    Any pure mechnical traders or system traders?

    Trader666 is the most extensive reference on the contest.* My bio, you cited, is something I wrote. It is not a set of claims and I am not a guru. My classification by NFA standards is "amateur"; I maintain that classification by responding to my IBs periodically as determine by the...

    The attachment didn't stick. Lucky for the OP. Few if any, want to see, yet once again, how some people are deeply hung up on proof.

    Discussion: The problems with trader training services are...

    The acid question is: Is it all talk or all proof? This is the problem you have with respect to posters on ET. A lot of people have this problem and behavioral science and behavioral finance explains the root of the problem. For me talk is kindred to documentation in all forms. People...

    Any pure mechnical traders or system traders?

    I am 100% mechanical. You have a nonstarter. What this means is that you cannot make any progress in making money. This is a negative comment. your basic insurmountable difficulty is that your indicator and the market are incompatible. What you use to get signals has no precise...

    Discussion: The problems with trader training services are...

    Your whole post is a beautiful development of how people are incentivized and how they can be supported in this process. Elsewhere in this thread a person commented that he did not know of any trading schools. Too bad. As I continue to just talk instead of doing demos to train potential...

    Non-regular bars ?

    I read the thread before I posted. It occurred to me that the poster was thinking and exploring. The topic is "being able to see the markets". I use paragraphs to deal with points so my posts turn out to be laid out to get from A to N as carefully as possible. It is complicated for...

    Your plight seems to be focussed on the display of market information in real time. Bars in themselves inpart less visual information than do comparisions of adjacent bars. The smallest most frequently appearing on a display are OTR price bars and their companion the corresponding volume...

    Setting stop loss

    You have it made because you are so good at entering trades. Just give your attention to the "next" entry. It is the logical exit for the trade you are presently in. Naturally, it will be quite far "away" and on the opposite side of where you presently set poor stops. You may wonder if...

    I agree with you that for most potential traders, the best thing to do is experience a live demonstration of trading that which the potential trader is interested in trading. For other potential traders other paths are available. Experiencing the TradersExpo comes to mind. So does WOM...

    The real truth of Trading- Read it once, you will not be Disappointed.

    Most traders who are accomplished focus on two things: 1. Being in the market on the correct side of the market, and 2. Compounding capital. Ziad does neither as his focus. Market granularity dictates that stepping is involved. Profit segments are in an order one after the other...

    Discussion: The problems with trader training services are...

    spurt: Your lack of experience re students is one of the reasons you have brought up what you are confused about. You are correct to conclude, that for you, once is enough. It was interesting that you chose to use the word "trainer" as a way to impart trading skills and knowledge to...

    Exact Science

    Doing annotating is not difficult but it is defined by exacting rules for P and V in combination. Attached is a chart that adds a spot for volume and I recommend using one of the S7P indexes that displays both P and V. By using bar charts you also get to see the volatility and overlap which...

    Exact Science

    I consider the long term economic and econometric local and international condition, circumstance and situation to be a significant context for people who have planes, strategies and routines. In about JUN/JUL 2006, a depression began. The Camtasias from that point on took this into...

    Fighting the HFT algos... daytraders and floor traders vs. HFT traders

    Sanjay: In this day and age, the rate of change of practioners vs regulators is no contest. The beauty of the situation is that those who need regulation most cannot perform with any semblance of effectiveness nor efficiency. Nicely, you can add in the "Sullivan Principle" with respect...
