i 'think' i got iteration 3 down, i'll post the xls result at the close of today. we shall see.

just posted an update .xls with my other idea on drawing the composite chart in the main hershey thread, i'll post it here too...is example 2 that i used closer to it?

hi grob, i've been discussing this with mak but i think i need your input on this too. regarding the 30 min trading, 3rd level/iterative refinement. from what i've read, i've put together 2 possible composites of the 30/15 minute directions. question1: is either of these correct...

thanks mak, i'm going to try looking as well

ok i think i did this correctly, but maybe not, the only other thing i can think of is just alternating the 30 mins...but that doesn't appear to yield any better results. however, with this (30 min bar, then 2 15 min bars), i can't figure out how to draw the trendlines for reversing.

i think i've correctly read through the level 3 information, here it is in a document i'll post a chart of what it should look like to the best of my knowledge, later in the day.

thanks mak, i was going to start work on piecing together 3 anyway. i think i have 2 down correctly?

you're right mak, though it is very tempting to try, i'll refrain though.

chicken, your 'homework' leaves much to be desired.

sure (if i understand what you mean). 1. B/O of prior bar hi/low (take trade in that direction) 2. draw line from prev. consecutive bar lows (if long) or bar highs (if short)....projecting into current bar formation. 3. hold trade until/unless the current bar breaks the TL....when it...

"risk and pace are inversely related" where pace is high, risk is low? "iterate and refine to slower and slower paces" by this do you mean, trade only in say the 9:30-noon...then 1:30 to close periods? (i notice that volume and price movement drops off noticeably during the noon to...

easy, i'm backtesting it currently, i'm 1 month in the backtest (well a bit over that, 29 days in), it's up around 4k (1 ct, mini dow, 10am-3:30pm starting from 12/18/02 doing the 2nd level...as grob states, levels 3 and 4 are better.

side note: from what i've looked at so far with other day's charts....specifically strong trends, the 2nd level (as i'm doing it, which may be misunderstood on my part) seems to do really lousy reason being that the rising trendline coming off the sloped bars gets you out and has you...

ok lets try this out, i went over 9/23 (friday). this is what i came up with. note: i'm leaving starting at 10:00am and ending at 3:30pm est my testing showed significant improvement doing this. comments regarding anything posted are welcome. did i do anything 'wrong' with this chart?

I was really interested when i read about this. http://groups.google.com/group/misc.invest.technical/tree/browse_frm/thread/31ea4ac4aea16e99/f384764b0ed533e0?rnum=1&_done=%2Fgroup%2Fmisc.invest.technical%2Fbrowse_frm%2Fthread%2F31ea4ac4aea16e99%2F%3F#doc_a2ee6622d3d84c57... hopefully...

"I'm afraid you've lost me with that one..... I'm working on my discipline for following my entry and exit rules with a method I have a lot of confidence in. Why would it be any better for me to develop a new method that has more straightforward rules just to complete the 20 trade...

not to mention your only dealing with the symptom, not curing the cause (if you just walk away to avoid conflict)

you can't follow your rules because you have no discipline. (i'm not making a judgement about your rules here, nor am i making a suggestion as to whether or not you should strive to be a pure mechanical or pure discretionary trader)... what i will say is this... you know that you need...

i'm apparently trading smaller than you guys, although looks like your more efficient too volente are you trend following, or scalping or mixture in the ym? biggest ym win for me is around 1100, biggest losing day in ym is about 520. something that i've found for myself is that in order...

my avg win is 9.13, avg loss is 4.48 i don't use hard targets.
