    TraderD72, RTL BO's FBO's can be a little tricky as tyhey can happen a couple of different ways both can occur on low volume (and then volume will pick up to confirm or deny) and both can happen on higher volume, with a spike leading to FBO. Sometimes we will make mistakes. It Doesn't...

    Perhaps we should have a prize for the worse offender. I think I'd beat you hands down!! Today nailed both the 1 & 3 of the second channel (the shallow down sloping one) both within a couple of ticks. I am embarrassed to admit how quickly I washed them. However in the interest of full disclosure...

    Tough day followed by not so tough day. Crunch time for the slower paced channel

    I found it quite challenging. Look at spyders chart carefully bar by bar. Even challenging days are less challenging when you have a well annotated chart :D For example the FBO yesterday seemed to give many people a bit of trouble but every chart I have seen posted here has dealt with it in a...

    The long red bar also broke through the RTL of the existing 'tree' channel on increasing volume. (blue on Spyders chart). Perhaps not most typical of a FBO/fanned out pt3. Things where looking pretty 'choppy' already to me. Lots of formations long bars with lots of overlap so while I did not...

    Yes me too. Pretty much agree with everything dkm said. Though not sure about the following bar being a stall. Technically I am sure it was but the whole preceding sequence of bars was a lateral fault in the dominant down trend. When price didn't start to rise immediately I was thinking the...

    Brutal honesty with yourself and a relentless pursuit of absolute truth are good weapons against these sorts of perceptual errors. On lawyers :D For every Decent Lawyer... There are 1,000 lawyers who believe they will be a Decent Lawyer... Of which 999 will never become a Decent Lawyer...

    Crude priced in Eurodollars? - Discuss

    It always seemed to me this was probably a much bigger influence on the decision to go to war than many credited it for. http://www.feasta.org/documents/papers/oil1.htm Says it quite well. It certainly seems like the beginning of the end of an empire. Oil is the only thread holding it...

    C vs Java programming for IB

    Bingo. Also pointed out by DCraig. What makes me chuckle is that a lot of these gunslinger coders seem to have so little grasp of the architecture of the whole system. One wonders what the hell there code must be like. Guess all these guys have written there own lightweight email clients (C...

    Indeed, However sometimes the BO is confirmed (volume picks up) after the non dom move out. Also seems that on occasion you get false break outs with rising volume. I'll keep an eye out and post a chart or two if I find a tricky one:) Another area that can present similar challenges is BO's...

    QFT - the problem is not just with new features. The same attitude is often true with bugs and issues. First you have to submit the report 3 different times in 3 different ways then you have to argue the toss with someone who gets all defensive and can't even entertain the idea its an issue...

    IB TWS pinkout craziness

    Without wanting to be argumentative have to disagree with the priority stuff though the other advice is good. Firstly priority only comes into effect when there is thread contention. Really that should be pretty much a non issue unless your PC is 10 years old or you play heavyweight games in...

    The problem I have with fanning is not correctly drawing the lines but the correct and prompt detection of BO FBO! Personally I think it can be more challenging than an FTT. FTT is dealing with dominant volume often a surge changing to non dominant. i.e. the change is usually dramatic. The...

    Recently I have been finding the ES more 'sufficient' on the whole. I'd like to think this represents progress:). I actually maximise my ES window quite a lot of the time now (I like big as my eyes get worse!). I do glance at the YM when I anticipate end points or to confirm a stall is in...

    Thanks cnms2. I had a pretty good idea of how you enter from previous charts you had posted. I was just wondering about the reversals. I figured it was probably based on similar criteria as entries Actually IF1/IF2 are breakouts (close and bar high/low) if my understanding is correct. :D I am...
