“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” There seems to be a dearth of educated minds on ET. What is sad is the anger and vitriol that spews forth here. Its pretty hard to imagine that it comes from happy smiley minds. Another un...

As this is in psychology sign me up. I have an idea where you might be going but lets see. I'm staggered that people would waste thier most precious commodity (time) on something they clearly have no interest in. OP I should use complain liberally to keep things on track. Cheers.

My first 6 months of trading where pretty profitable. I grew my account almost 20 fold without over leverage (quite the reverse). Luck? maybe, I was taking probably 20+ trades a day so a lot of luck. Of course it was not long before I hit drawdowns and the emotional issues started. If I had...

Jack mentions a couple of times when he gets a couple of bars where volume is well into extreme he tends to consider them as equal. Not sure if this helps with the evaluation currently under discussion Cheers..l

This may sound like bragging it really is not as it is also the main impediment to my greater success. I frequently carve the turn within a few ticks. This is pretty much without finer tools though I do use the DOM to enter so I can hit the bid or ask as the 'surge' stalls. I don't really watch...

This neatly weaves in with my chief area for improvement. Heres the thing, the stuff I have attributed to emotional issues (fear ego etc.) has an area to feed in. That's getting caught up in the intrabar gyrations. Putting aside the IF1/2 procedure all the time this is inside the previous...

Not my cult. :) Chaotic seems a reasonable description. 75% (I am pretty sure it was higher) is statistically significant. I really don't care if they are random or not as they exhibit observable tendencies. I will repeat -with random volume added in you would be able to spot the real series...

I thought it might have merit where you could reasonably anticipate change. Use your APA IF1/2 to make sure you are on the right side of the market regardless of whether you anticipated correctly or not. In any case once the bar makes higher HLC the procedure should certainly be put aside I...

Useful but strangely ant-climatic :) I was kind of figuring that they might be useful around formations - seems quite a few have false BO's. Of course these would be outside bars pretty often. I'm sure I am not alone in noticing that lateral movement is often choc full of formations (look at...

Tiki, Great charts. Your work now and earlier in the year is outstanding from the point of view of seeing how the finer tools are integrated. Thanks.

Ahh I suspected something like this, I posted a while back about detecting a trend day as opposed to a W or M This helps a lot in culling some dead end paths. Food for thought what will a daily stall HVS & hitch look like intraday? How about end points? M's W's V ^ are likely to feature...

Actually that was gist of what I wrote to you 2 or 3 years ago when I enrolled. :) Its a vicious circle the punters want set ups the vendors offer what the punters want. (There is a post in the psychology section from PureTick saying much the same though they still focus on set ups and calls)...

There used to be a website that you could go to and do this very test. I think (from memory) I got about 75%+. Add random volume and I would wager that it would be close to 100%. Cheers.

Doh, you wont win the worse execution cup like that! :D Good job, hope you where holding some a bit longer too. Cheers.

Its not my thread but FWIW I'd certainly be interested in what BM has to say if its constructive & deals with how he has adopted the JHM. It seems to me that his 'process' fits quite well with this months theme 'putting it all together'. Things got a bit out of hand a couple of months ago...

Nice trade WG. Did you trigger the trade passing through the previous bars close or was that just coincidence? What where your main clues that this might be a point 1? Cheers.

You really want to take learn a little about basic logic. None of your statements are related in anyway and certainly the implications you put forward are nonsense. I have nothing more than a mild curiosity whether markets are random, empirically I'd have to say they are not. I do think lazy...

The trader is the edge.

Heres the change in dominant this morning. I sat through it for some reason however a great chance to get in presented itself at the first FBO ('point 5' if you will). I actually managed to hit the high tick (a bit of luck and a bit of judgement). It was particularly nice as at no time was there...

I guess APA really is just being on the right side of the market at the finest level. presumably once you get clear of previous bar end you 'coarsen' up to IF1 IF2 and then move into your traverse and manage normally. The reason this stuff interests me as it makes the decision part of MADA...
