If I may chime in. Of course it always depends on your needs. If you and your system is highly mathematical, you'd maybe want to optimize using GPUs, ASIC, whatever. But that takes extra effort and time, which could be better spent getting everything to work together instead. So if you're like...

Avoid ad-based TV? Seems like a no-brainer. Have been for me for 20 years at least.. We do watch state sponsored TV through internet though, as quality is above most, less special private interests and no ads.

Jack seems to disagree though, favouring more directional filtering using P-cases/internals/laterals, as also evident in his chart and logs, though unsure of all the logic involved.

I didn't mean IBGS, just "Latest price" intrabar, often simply (incorrectly?) referred to as "Close" by platforms. Either way, Close isn't magical, but one of many sequences of PV, however you want to name it. I know this sounds like kind of a circular logic: Within a setup/TF we kind of need to...

2, 3 and 4 min TF sounds like a good setup to overcome TF issues like scaling and shifting. However, I wouldn't find time to follow such fast TF in realtime. 1) Intrabar Close beyond RTL is the first sure sign of BO in price. Otherwise price would never break RTL. Close moving back would be...

My understanding at this point in time: "True BO" means RTL BO when both PV-annotations line up correctly according to The Pattern. The overall ideal and mandatory sequence for it would then be, with no exceptions: (P1)-DV(T1)-BO-IV(P2). IV could here be used to validate "true BO" as well, as...

When RTL isn't fanned: Close right of RTL is BO and TLs ceased. Close moving back left of RTL within the same bar is FBO, and TLs continues. 2 consecutive closes right of RTL validates BO. Found this text: 3. You have to know that trading happens in sequences. for channels and such you always...

I use my own custom code. It combines freedom from proprietary software with flexibility, though requires quite a bit of time and iterations to improve and mature.

Mainly using NT7 as research platform as I need flexibility that such platforms don't offer. It helps as a visual tool, though one need to get out of curve fitting biases somehow.

With automated mechanical trading you absolutely must backtest, as it can reveal many ways of trading the wrong way faster and cheaper. Also for long term trading you never stop the system at DD as that will remain a loser, and real DD may be worse than BT. You stop systems that obviously are...

Appreciate your insights and doubts as well, and skill :)

You are not alone in feeling overwhelmed or struggling to make sense on how to make it all fit together. OODA can sometimes work, but get heavy DD and need "medication" to work. So the minority of the minority continue down the rabbit hole, though one need to make sure whatever one builds is...

In general: One may treat long and short the same. Some ETFs are inverse. But, for stock markets, and depending on the market, long and short side are statistically different. Short tends to be fast, brief and high vol, while long tends to drift slowly upwards on lower vol. For any extreme...

Sounds very simple! https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/edge-edge-edge-what-is-it.321951/page-7#post-4675898

Meaningful edge for a trader is just how to make good profit within some reasonable set time and within some reasonable set risk parameters. For a trader, it doesn't really matter if you beat your "competition" or not, because if you are happy with what you get, why should you care, are you a...

Motivation is never enough. You need to get desperate and remain cool headed. Simple 4 step procedure to do so: 1) Attain Enlightenment: Body, Mind and Soul meet in yoga (harmony) with current established World Order. 2) Get Desperate: What if this is all that is? 3) ... (too much research...

Reading a bit about retro / lat4, I'm wondering if the following could be the correct process for events? bar #94(Sym) is Wait until lat4 on bar #96. On Retro bar #94 replaces Wait with T1, thus starting band A. bar #95 P2 bar #96 P2 bar #97 P1 Thus Retro affects volume events but not price...

Good writeup, and helpful to keep watch on the overall picture!

Nice explanation and maybe a start on laterals for me. I was thinking of this post, and there are others also where stitches are treated as internal case, ie. not translation bar.

Stitches may be counted as internal, thus not measured per default. However, bar #95 being IV, it gets permission. Though, processed as Lat3, so Wait/Hold? Unless trading within lats.
