Lets hypothesize for a sec. If a person uses his inital capital and compounds it; as the months go by each month does better and better through the simple mechanism of compounding. Take a small account of a college grad who has a job and does position trading. Lets let some time pass...

That's what I thought, too The timing on this instrument for taking profit segments is telegraphed by the active traders. It is definitely different than US type markets. I guess doing the calls relative to the flow of the signals from the instrument is the critical path for moving up the...

To pull the definition of what is happening google "climax run" in WJO'N's HTMMTS. To get the "when" down, use the Rally Attempt Analysis from the same book. For example in the '87 crash and its recovery the RAA played out four times going into the crash (1OCT, I think) It also signalled...

charts, hi Your comments are right on the mark. This instrument is nearly perfect for trading using market variables. I didn't figure out what I did to step out of line vis a vis the theme here. The poiint of looking at any instrument is to take advantage of market 'tells' to...

PIR is a current choice of marketsurfer. My comments on the three steps lead off the conversation. They need tweaking is the short answer. They will make money with stops BUT the trader has to put some additional protection into his picture. The additional protect involves market...

This is marketsurfer's vending operation and I couldn't resist the humor. It made a nice foil for discussing how entries and exits have to be timed according to a pattern for position trading. To make money it is not a good idea to enter in the middle of a short. It is better to enter at...

Here is an example of the entry part and a lack of exits being defined. Entries that are too early will get stopped out. In the pattern they get stopped out on the 2R that ends the short trend. As noted in an earlier post, the entry is a little early usually by using step two...

If you define the exits and do not use a fime out exit, there are a few people on ET who will backtest itto death. They has a great incentive to do their first backtest successfully. All I did was look at any stock that meets a different sorting criteria and I noticed where the 200ma is on...

It looks good to me and there are some caveats. The entry and exit are not defined as well as the sorting of stocks into a universe. The chosen universe will make a greater return as stated by buying after a retrace (see step 2). Step two has a couple of flaws and they need to be...

The translation of the three steps mentioned by the OP vendor are as follows: Step 1 sort for quality. Most EPS and RS stocks of high value (combined as in AND'ing) have this characteristic. 200 days is the five times in 6 months aspect of proving in reliability and repeatability. A...

There was a nice progression of contributions over the years in this thread. The consideration of going away from and returning to a value may be best handled by having a context. Luckily almost all contexts were surfaced at one time of another. Once there was a polynomomial consideration...

compound the profits. pay your self on Fridays and let the rest ride. as a person makes more and more money, it is well within reason that he could reapply profits by componding. 1,000 dollars a day is just a point on a chart along the way.

Anyone learning to trade should begin by trading stocks in their "natural" cycles. If you put up some daily bar charts this cycle is very apparent. One test of a good stock to trade is one that goes through 5 cycles in 6 months. In addition it is best to have several other critria to create...

Here is a detailed attachment. It shows you acceleration annotation is correct and we had to go back to the original point 1 for other reasons. the last bar you show is the Ftt of the long up to this point in the unfolding of the long. I know this brings up the discussion of whether, on...

Nice post and annotation. On the VE (with M1 and M2) it is a good idea to accelerate the RTL as well. The objective of the acceleration is to "see" the FTT in the accelerated container. It also give you insight to the volatility of the M1 and M2 when you are in the zone. This is a terrific...

There are a couple of kinds of questions that require knowledge. In these questions you are required to deal with shades of meanings. further, sometimes you will be asked what is incorrect about a statement. the general way people prep is to work 2 or 3 days with a tutor who earns his...

Would you like to drop in for a few minutes during one of the breaks during one of the periodic meetings these people attend? you could talk to real people who are from all over the world. Do you see in the Lo P,V illustrations 17 OB's in the course of 77 bars? Can you recognize that this...

MM thanks for the (....) commentary... It certainly will help others understand how a person uses what is already in his mind to read what others write. What is neat is when people are able to learn as well. Elswhere bighog comments on the goals of traders like himself and the person...

The combination of knowledge and skills that people build over time becomes part ot the quality and quantity of their first recourse as they trade. It is certainly alright for any person to be at any point in that process. Th process for people goes on at various rates and various plateaux...

blox is 21 or 22. FYI.
