    Best indicators ?????????????

    I recognize that you wish to confine the mathematical discussion to a particular system of mathematics as you have shown us. I also know you prefer constant volume bars. As jerry has shown, he has chosen a stat oriented system and an iterative refinement technique. Most people, as you do...

    Best indicators ?????????????

    As you get into trading and associate with others who trade size, you will begin to notice how they deal with the Premium. Most orgs have PW's for using their libs and often libs are dedicated. elsewhere in this thread it has been pointed out that many degrees of freedom are involved in...

    Best indicators ?????????????

    It is difficult to explain. I did try. Premium spikes are something I do not use for anything. In terms of Larry Harris and his hierarchy of trader and investor types, I am front running the smart money. So in his book where he uses 32 boxes to describe these folks, put me down as a...

    Best indicators ?????????????

    The mathematical problem of the markets is precisely solved using the mathematics required and stated explicitely by the deductive hypothesis set (HS) of the market and its parametric measurement set (PM) of the market. I'll add another sentence. The mathematics of the market is Boolean...

    Best indicators ?????????????

    I did a subsequent post to show how arithmetic can be used. Rhetorically speaking, were you surprised that such a simple mathematical solution existed to provide a reliable leading indicator? The good news is that you will probably wait until someone gives you the finished product before you...

    POLL: Are you troubled more by losing trades or decent moves missed by your method?

    Thank you for pointing out the OP is comparing apples and oranges from his personal trading viewpoint. When comparing things it is always good to have a common resourse for doing either repair work or for iterative refinement. There is no connection between the entry point and the market...

    Best indicators ?????????????

    I always make it a point to read your posts. While I do not orient to up and down, I do use an up and down oriented chart for Premium considerations and it is a 1 minute real time chart that locks in the past on 1 minute intervals. The Premium may be found using any number of resourses. The...

    The first derivative of Premium. (You can use the second derivative as a vernier, as well.)

    POLL: Are you troubled more by losing trades or decent moves missed by your method?

    With respect to your very pertinent comments, there are many methods presented on ET. Search the word "cycles", for example. The zig zag indicator comes very close to following your description of the "configuration and methodology" requirement. As in NG, all tradables have a daily value of...

    Is any part of your trading based on intuition?

    I agree with you whole heartly. With respect to seeing the Pattern I posted. There are stages such as you mentioned. Once a person observes in a fractal manner the "nesting of fractals" aspect becomes a terrific and life changing experience. By understanding volume leads price, the...

    Is any part of your trading based on intuition?

    I like these results; they are not a claims nor are his lifestyle results a claim (s). What I like best about them is that they were done by a person who worked to learn the PVT application. Next he converted it into an ATS. Then he used the ATS to trade. There were several consequenses...

    Is any part of your trading based on intuition?

    A test of 23,000 trades tells a great deal about enter with criteria and exiting with a criteria. The graph clerly shows how much money you lost by looking at the last entry on the graph on the money axis. Everyone reading the graph can divide the x axis last value by the last y axis...

    Is any part of your trading based on intuition?

    So intuition is a describable aspect of trading. The OP is considering trading as a possibility. As he says his mind is not too knowledgable and he lacks most trading skills. At some point for quality traders, their skills and knowledge supply them with What Must Come Next (WMCN). WMCN...

    Is any part of your trading based on intuition?

    Summary. This was a brief comment to straighten out T666's misconception. He is not alone. I do nor follow the CW since it is a TRADITION based on three things: income, growth and security. Obviously it provides none of these realtive to any reasonable lifestyle. I am a scientist and...

    Is any part of your trading based on intuition?

    The first shell was called Basic Supreme. Basic meant core and we added some core bells and whistles to get to supreme. All beginner level. the "S" suffice was for specific Supreme tweaks. the A and A2 are one subset of cases for two line indicator logic. The B1, B2, B 3 and B4 are the...

    Is any part of your trading based on intuition?

    By the time May rolled around we had our ideas collected. The logic sheet posted at the beginning of the thread did enable us to lay a foundation that was good. Each version had some refinements of the basic core first shown. As those observers who code could figure out, the EOB aspect...

    Which is stronger, fear or greed?

    It is not very intelligent to associate greed with long and fear with short. Both are associated with mental mistakes usually associated with linking a balance sheet to doing the trading routine. There is a line in the sand that has to do with learning to count chips after the game is...

    Is any part of your trading based on intuition?

    Certainly. Would it be any other way? I think not. When defining cycles using indicators (meaning a sensitive, articulated and balanced combination), it comes down to handling the cases by codification. It is more common to use logic (rather than rules), since rules have limitations...
