um guys, perhaps he's shorting NQ while using YM to lead him?

i certainly have not.

what does an increase in vol. and a move of price from the mid line to the outer band look like in jack's language? what does a falling off in volume and a return from the outer band to the mid line look like in jack's language? just do a 2 bar comparison for simplicity's sake.

i'm sure you have some past annotated charts with channels drawn on them...why not overlay one of these channels on top of that and look at the similarities and differences. if it's possible to effortlessly be consistently on the wrong side of the market...why is it not possible to...

i tried it out myself (in my own way), i kind of like it too. and i ain't too bright. thanks lurker, i read through your prev. postings. just a matter of which way you understand skinning a cat, and then which way do you want to skin the cat. or is it vice versa? understanding the...

it appears that you are trading essentially the pt 2-3 traverse coming off the outer lines.

aweiss, i was using DU on the ym2min to define pt 3 (the pic is NOT of today).

my gut is telling me that only a fine sweep skillset would have kept me from losing money on the bar 14-15 trade. (and since i don't have that....) if that's the case, i'm not too worried about it. looks like a tough spot for most, shorts and longs (i had gone short on 14 and busted, you...

bars 14 and 15 really screwed me up today. on 14 we have an increase in vol. and a corresponding price increase suggesting the downwards move is coming to an end...while on bar 15 we have a decrease in vol and a price drop... how do you read this? i got +1 pt on the opening move to the...

here, jack takes you through a particular day. lol, can you believe i don't remember if *I* was the one who compiled this or if i downloaded. it. i don't even remember which thread it comes from. someone who is better at using this blasted ET search function can say perhaps. I...

mak, i would encourage you to keep posting your findings. it is the reader's responsibility to use or bypass the information. i can not participate in the discussion due to a lack of skill and experience, but that's A-OK. it'll be archived for later review. stalker, icarus rubbed me the...

i'd like to get some feedback on a trade i did today because i think it was in line with most of what jack teaches i knew where i was and what i was looking for to happen, and what i knew shouldn't happen to cause continuation to cease. actual trade was Long es @ 9:45 1269.50 exit es @...

no doubt guys, i'm quite sure the fills were unrealistic...that is, i was getting filled too soon in sim. still, i will investigate further for myself. ya, BT's fill is based on the last price, not lifting of the Bid or Ask. shucks. looking further, BT has a "buy at ask, and sell at...

lol, you're scaring me mak. i scared myself too. the program is bracket trader, a front end for IB

a little off topic but i'd rather post it here, because we have good people... is this possible? i mean i DID it, but i'm thinking the sim software probably isn't accurate enough when trades are this quick. i was looking at the dom and noticed it's a safe entry when the dom starts flashing...

absolutely correct, it IS how you handle losers...my goal is to not have any. your second comment is dead wrong. and you're the one in the depths of drawdown because you believe a false statement. i notice in your journal you aren't asking any questions...you are saying things like "i...

as a counterpoint (not an argument)...time is incorporated into a tick chart...the faster a bar forms...the faster the pace all the pertinent information is still represented...price and volume...just a different lense. guess it comes down to using the proper lense prescription for your...

i understand, my only point was it seems to me you get the same effect of a fractal pair by simply using 1 chart with a tick value...rather than 2 charts granted when i'm talking fractal pair here i'm talking about 5min es and 1min es...not 2min ym (which would be a parrallel fractal pair.)

mgin thank you for your response, and others as well, i have been re-encouraged lol. it appears to me that your only problem at this point is as you say, your EQ, my only problem is my IQ. something interesting, i'm looking at a 133t chart of ES and everything is more fluid than on a 5...

i am at a loss as to how to do rockets and be taking little or no losses with them 1. jack recommends wash trades, i believe this 2. jack recommends exit of rocket when fast line leaves the 20/80...he doesn't specify end of bar or intrabar criteria here...however he DOES say that minor blips...
