I look forward to people's write ups at the end of the day. Today, thenewguy and C99 mentioned some confusion in the afternoon - I also have experienced that myself the past couple aft's. Could it be the amount of focus this method requires - much more than I am used to, and that is a good...

Snip: "I am trying to get my trading legs ... I am 22 ..." I feel like I'm sitting down to the first showing of the sequel to "The Young Guns" - heheh. Nat. Gas, Copper, AUD stopless - wow. You might want to throw in some Lumber and OJ to round out the portfolio. Nonetheless - congrats on...

Wow - this is great stuff! My thanks to Mak, the author, and to R/R for bringing it to the forefront! I know I have read similar material, but it can be so helpful to view the same ideas presented via another's perspective. And that is what's so cool about this journal. I've already bemoaned...

Just curious, Bb - have you happened to do any statistical studies on this idea, such as like the type which bundlemaker mentioned. I definitely am not here to refute anything, but simply to learn. But in my own limited experiences, since trying to focus on the PV relationship (somewhat...

Borrowing from one of Spyder's comments read somewhere earlier, may I suggest annotating your "not FTT" as a "WTF" :) This can be especially appropos after entering short off a FTT, 15 secs prior to an upthrusting volatility expansion. Thanks to all who replied to my 2 point ES scale...

Doing some reading tonite and have a question which I hope is applicable to our current discussions. The following is a snip from the closed thread titled "Jack Hershey Trading" by OP Nwbprop: Snip from Grob109, "Your scale from now on is 2 points on ES. Arrange the dis[play from top to...

Thanks again, Aurum. Common sense was screaming at me that intersecting channel lines would surely not play into defining a BO, but both " BO pointers" sure seemed to depict that. I shall leave no stone unturned - heheh. Duh! Have a good one ...

Hey, there, rateesquad - hope you don't pin me to the mat for this inquiry :) I'm dumber than a box of rocks here - could you expand a bit on your statement: "Now I know how exactly BO works." The diagram seems to depict the arrival of a BO at the time of intersection of the two channel...

Thanks a lot, Spyder! Your explanation cleared up several areas of confusion for me! Until next time, as I stumble down the path of enlightenment - cheers ...

Thank you for your responses, Aurum - appreciated! And this link to the method of organization is very good! The only thing remaining (for me) is to buckle down :) and do it! Best to ya ...

- Spydertrader - (who perhaps is already known as "The Todd" in the inner sanctums - might we some day see you on a reality TV series for 'apprentice' traders - lol) My thoughts echo spooz's above - in my mind, correct annotation is paramount to the proper implementation of this methodology...

Here's a link to a diagram which might help to illustrate: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=826366

I have several questions pertaining to the above. For starters, when viewing a 5 min ES chart, how far out into the higher fractals do you want to go to be able to view their dominant trend channels (i.e., 15, 30, 60, 240 min, daily, weekly, etc)? I believe I have already read this somewhere...

Hi Stonedinvestor - if you were a bit older, sounds like we cudda bumped shoulders at some of the 60's - 70's rock festivals, judging from your moniker - hahaha. I find your response quite interesting, but also find myself on the other side of the fence. Some comments, as I pull some snips from...

This really sounds intriguing. Could use please define PAIR and PARTNER as used within your context here? Also, if I do an ET search under author, will I find previous discussions from you on this topic, Mak? I ask first, only to know beforehand that a search will indeed be productive...

Thanks for the explanation, Spyder. Although "it" can still be kinda "dense" here at times (g!) I'm sensing something really "new" in my trading, and I feel like a giddy kid on XMAS morning. And with that thought in mind, pretty much winding up the year here, and would like to wish everyone...

Have a "what if" question concerning the mechanics of annotating. I am still unsure on how to proceed when I feel an adjustment is necessary on a chart, and have marked-up your chart from 12/19, Spyder. Again hypothetical, but say the succeeding price action works on down and breaks below...

Hahaha - dang, son, wadda ya thinks happens when ya get over 50? I'm with Whister - I'm in the "General Area" of 50, and happy to say the pecker still even works - lol! I got at least another good 30 yrs of trading in me, before being parked in some nursing home hallway in a wheelchair :-)...

I believe I gave this composition a quick read the first day I had decided to try and learn these methods. No doubt my mind was racing in 10 different directions at the time, and I failed to appreciate many of the insights offered here. Wow - this is some excellent stuff imo. I found very...

Duly noted, fellas - thnx for your input ...
