thanks coolweb, the idea that i have as a starting point is the same as yours, that the limit orders are the orders of losers. I´ve got the idea from different people here at ET that price gravitates towards high bid/ask size instead of the opposite. That is if cumulative bid size is...

I´ll try a serious question, hope you don´t make fun of me for the rest of the weekend :) I´ve been looking at bid/ask size and the orderbook for YM and ES for a while, trying to spot patterns. I would lie if I said I was successful. if I see something working one day, it doesn´t work the...

forextrades, don´t you miss many of the best retracements waiting for the stoch to go below/above 30/70 when the trend is strong? I´m just curious, being new to trading I´m trying to learn to trade retracements looking at formations and volume. If you look at my attached chart for ym...

Hey Chicken brain! I write book and film reviews for several magazines, and when I read your latest post I was a bit excited, thinking I was not the only one here at et. well, you made me disappointed once again... For those of you who trade break-outs - do you find that there is a...

it´s not working, don´t know why, anyway it´s a document called "channel compiled" with most of Jacks texts put together. It´s been posted before by someone else. Maybe you can find it or someone else could post it again.

I try again in another format

do you have to save word-documents in a special format to attach them?

check this one out if you don´t have it Dan

Most newbies dream of making a lot of money quick when they start trading. I was not one of those fools. Stupid Stalker thought daytrading was more like a job. You learn the profession, invest some money and make a little extra. I thought it seemed like a good half-time job. :) I´ve been...

this market is driving me nuts, you sit with it for months and then it feels like your back where you started. Doesn´t matter what I look at right now, I just see randomness... :(

Thanks Mak, looking forward to it!

I look at dom a lot. Sometimes I think I get it and understand it all, and then the next day I don´t have a clue. One thing I see often is that when price is stopping close to a s/r area and there are a lot of big orders blocking the way, sooner or later it usually breaks through the orders...

did you short when that left trendline was hit again dell-boy?

You don´t have to pardon yourself, the market has already explain to me in clear words that I´m not as bright as I thought I was :) I look at trendlines exactly in the way you explain, like s/r at a different angle. It´s the only way I can understand them at this point. It´s not that I...

lol, no :p

hey mak, nice to see you! no, i definitely don´t think trendlines gonna stop to work, since they´ve always been around. I just don´t get how there can be valid trendlines from bar-to-bar level up to daily level. Support/resistence as horizpntal price levels is more logic to me, easier to...

Is there something like a normal "offspring"/delta between es and ym? I mean sort of a synch? I understand that it can´t be exact cause it´s not the same index.

I ordered the book you recommended Dell-boy, seems to cover all the topics that I´m interested in, looking forward to reading it. The TA books I´ve read so far has been crap, but this one looks more serious.

Nobody has tried to come up with an explanation of why trendlines exist. It´s a little strange not knowing why these patterns exists when we´re drawing them everyday :) Someone´s sitting on the answer? I do NOT believe "because everybody´s watching them" or something like that, that´s...
