well, someone's gotta pay for steve's sushi, sake and geishas... * * * Dear Friend, Change is good, right? Well, it is if it's a change for the better. And I'm hear to tell you on the record — in front of the whole world! — that I've learned how to do something better...

You've made some fine comments. I do not mind my comments being placed at an extreme of a spectrum by a person who contrasts what I say with what is said by others in order to get a better understanding of what is being discussed. I want my thoughts to be intelligible to others and bounding...

A person makes what he wants to make. That includes a person who isn't making anything. To say trading is about making money is not the whole story of course. There are many ways to make money other than participating in the financial markets. This goes along with a comment that was made...

No two persons are alike or think alike. No person using words can convey his thoughts, impressions, experiences to another without something being lost in the transmission. I believe this to be the case even if the persons are sitting next to each other watching the same thing at the same time...

Being "humble" doesn't interest me, but I am very interested in being helpful to others. Unfortunately, the help I can offer is quite limited in most cases. What would you suggest as being most helpful to a person in your place? A self-assessment is required to answer that question, don't you...

Repeated screw ups. Not a good sign when you enjoy screwing up. Reality checklist: How to know you are learning things wrong: you have zero results. How to know you are not meant to do this: you enjoy getting zero results. How to know you enjoy getting zero results: you repeat doing...

My suggestion to you is to set aside a big chunk of time this weekend and put in the effort to study what others have written on PRV. Do not start with what you think you know about it. Leave what you think you know off the table. So on Saturday you might put in a block of 5 hours and gather...

Not sure exactly what you mean here. I'll take a closer look later in the day. I did see in your previous post with your rules that you would apply APA to bars other than entry bars. I thought I had read in that thread Jack saying that APA applied only to the entry bar but I may be mistaken...

Well I guess you won't know for yourself until you give it a try. Let us know how it works out.

Perspective C is what I inferred from prior discussions. I don't believe there was ever a definition given for it. In any case, there is a place in my monitoring for Perspective C, which I do on the 1m chart although rarely. Some old posts of my monitoring layout show how I've set it up, I believe.

Well I guess I share in the responsibility for responses like this. Would it be asking too much to read the entire sentence from which you took that snippet you quoted in your post? That way there would be some chance to see that I was commenting on the necessity of coarse monitoring and...

I believe the pieces have been all laid out on the table and have also been practiced with. I know we will soon reach a level of self-sufficiency from which there can be no turning back, and from which new things will appear to the consciousness that will give ideas for rapid improvement in...

If I understand what you are saying, you raise an interesting point about whether we can reach a super efficiency by going to and staying on DOM (which I take to mean Bbid/Bask only) and disregarding bar to bar comparisons. To me, this is going beyond even Perspective C (bar to bar comparison of...

SCT is something that's been on my stove but on the backburner with the heat set to "Keep Warm." Growth requires overcoming the inertia that sets in when a person becomes comfortable doing things in a particular way. Currently I am focused on helping a person get operational, which has been...

Thanks. I'm not familiar with tradestation and I'll look into it. Currently we do the charts by hand and it does get a bit tedious at times but the learning definitely sticks. I sent you a response to your PM.

Are the entries and exits on bars indicated automatically by software or do you put them there manually? If it's done by software that would be a real time-saver for debriefing. In any case, I like your chart and would like to use something like that with a person I'm helping along. What is the...

So you are using a straight indicator definition and taking your entries off them? I kept seeing the word "rocket" in your posts and you saying you are taking rocket trades and was just curious. Thanks for the reference to that document. I remember reading it some time ago.

Would you give a description of what you mean by a "rocket"? Just curious.

Just a comment on the previous post. With regard to financial markets, if it moves and has liquidity, it can be traded. Period. My suggestion would be to also look for low transaction costs and the accurate and timely dissemination of data pertaining to the primary market variables...

A person wanting to learn about how markets move can probably do worse than BEGIN by studying what's available under Elliott waves. Some useful concepts one can learn are, among other things: the existence of trends, fractals and trends, overlapping of trends, impulsive/corrective waves, looking...
