I use Qcharts as well, but have my broker feed (MBT) as back up. This morning Qcharts data was horrible. - Spydertrader

We look for sufficient data sets. As such, we do not make decisions off single data elements. Now, if you alter the question to say, "If Price was sitting on the left trend line of an uptrend while you held a long position, and you saw a -10 on STR / SQU would you immediately reverse?" The...

1. Add your 20 SMA. Doing so shows why your Point Two turned into an FBO of the Red Down Channel. The 20 SMA often acts exactly like a trend line in wider Price Channels. 2. Where you have marked an FTT is really an HVS (High Volatility Stall). Call it a left to right traverse, a lateral or...

Depends on the context. If I held a long position, and watched STR / SQU jump up to +10, we have continuation. On the other hand, had a held a short position and observed the same +10 jump, I'd have change. - Spydertrader

Try bundlemaker's video or Pr0crast's review document. - Spydertrader

What do you need to see for continuation (in this case short) and what do you need to see for change (in the case reverse and get long)? Assuming you used the FTT (Blue Doji Price Bar) as your signal enter into a short position, we also know that you have chosen to hold through the apparent...

Just as a stronger move in the STR / SQU represents a more pronounced move in ES price, so too does a 'sticky' move (one that seems to linger) allow us to anticipate a more sustained Price move compared to a STR / SQU 'quick pop' which immediately returns to the 'noise' area. In other words...

1. It doesn't appear that your automated bands (BB or Keltner) have provided you any assistance in locating an FTT. 2. I recommend learning to draw in channels. 3. Your Volume bars need changed so you can differentiate between red and black volume bars. Same with your price bars. 4. You...

I consider all values. You use STR / SQU in the NOW. Whatever the value is when you go to obtain the data is the important value. Check the STR / SQU value near trend lines. See the attached .gif file for examples of 'spike' bars. <img...

The noon FTT doesn't really give an example of a 'spike' bar. As such, I would not have expected a STR / SQU signal. However, The YM does provide a signal during that time frame. Keep in mind, we do not yet have all the tools available as of this point in time. As a result, a signal for...

The bars represent where the STR / SQU fell at the close of the bar. The Qcharts Histogram does not display the 'extreme' values once time passes. For this reason, I have never posted a 'chart' of STR / SQU, but felt some might find some value in a video (where one could see the extremes...

I left behind just enough Tequila for a return trip later in the year. :D - Spydertrader

No. I do not 'take heat' in the sense most people use the term. When I say I 'take a loss' I mean to say that price has moved a certain distance before I realise I misread the market. Sometimes, I exit with a small profit. Other times, I reverse with a break even (wash) trade. Occasionally, I...

It isn't complicated. The difficult part requires the individual to 'forget what they think they know' during the learning process. Once the trader understands channels and gaussians, the rest of the dominos begin to fall into place. - Spydertrader

Even Harmonics = Lateral (CCC, HVS, etc.) = Continuation Odd Harmonics = Spikes (STR / SQU picks these up for you) = Change - Spydertrader

As you no doubt read during the beginning of this Journal, I advise spending a great deal of time observing the market. As others have advised, you need to focus on learning the methods at this point in time. Concerning yourself over the profitability of others, or focusing on entry and exit...

Nicely done. - Spydertrader
