A trap indeed. I trade intraday SPY based on many, many-factored analysis of MIN30 bars, analysis that will usually permit 1 to 3 good trades a day, w/ 80% win probability for 1-3Rs when my trading implementation of the analysis is correct. When the MIN30s configure into a good trading...

Hi Baron, is there a way to start a private thread w/ someone who does not make their profile visible ?

The Honey here in a not-so-attractive jar :sneaky: ... Herb Alpert, Bridge Over Troubled Waters, & Sgt Peppers the lone pop in my parents vinyl collection in the late 60s -- all of them grooved into my mind. During summer vac 7yrs-old me would play the Sgt Peppers title track over and over...

Insider outside-trading ... Need an offsides penalty here, fake outsider-trading

Kudos MarketAddict. Your trade is strikingly similar to another -- (this is a compliment!) https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/tell-me-why-averaging-down-is-a-bad-idea.334476/page-19#post-4909359 Multiple entries follow there, w/ Volpri going thru the thinking that made the trade. Your...

I suppose you think it means "genius" According to www.wordhippo.com, the Latin meanings of "lentus" include: tedious, clogging, clinging, sluggish, tardy, callous, clammy, pliable, harsh, inflexible, rigid, lazy, limp, and dilatory If you were a little sharper you'd know it's both Latin &...

Al Brooks, https://brookstradingcourse.com R: 1) R Plan for Trade: Ratio of $ToBeWon At Future Time of Planned Exit /$Risked 2) R Result After Trade Ends: Actual $WonORLost/$Risked so a "2R win" means the completed trade $Profits = 2 x $Risked

The Intentional Definition per Brooks (not his term) : Swing: 2R+ goal Scalp: 1R goal // if memory serves

the law of large numbers cannot escape the anomaly, and yes the turkey thinks its keepers are swell until Thanksgiving Day, as Taleb reminds; and there is such a thing as survivorship bias, and in the long run ...

The below excerpt from a recent episode of "The Truth About Forex" podcast captures the dialog between volpri and those who are not so enthused about his approach -- Walter Peters -- "EP186: 3 Things You Wish You Knew Before Becoming a Trader"...

One more suggested defense: To improve the odds that you lose as little as possible recent config and chart-work when TWS fails to save a session before is shuts down or is killed: Make it a habit to regularly use pauses in your trading to save both the entire session ("File/Save Settings" --...

In my many-years experience TWS on shut-down has always attempted to save the entire session state, ie both configs AND all windows, including ALL charts, as they are at time of manual shut-down. I've never seen indication that this behavior is configurable, but there' so many configs in TWS...

There's more money flow w/ each successively higher TF, so the higher "tides" turn the smaller flows; nevertheless all the flows regardless of their size follow the same physics of motion and can thus be assessed w/ the same methods though it gets more complicated the smaller the flow

Another angle on the same idea -- What is experienced intraday as random is greatly due to the multiplely overlayed higher time frames -- a MIN01 chart is produced by all the deliberate, non-random price action decisions of those discretely trading it and MIN02, ..., MIN10, MIN15, MIN20...

w/ the addition of yellow lines to id the channel from which price breaks out, on this updated chart: o Makes it apparent that the wide range bar (WRB) at the end achieved, or almost did, a measured move of the channel. o A measured move, or almost, achieved via a WRB spurting from a trading...

What about position players, perhaps not so wise, who would buy their puts "late" -- if mkt gets to 200SMA, might one expect a frenzy of put buying, strikes @200SMA and lower, to buoy the mkt, so that even if it goes lower, it will halt not too far away (20 MONTH SMA ?) Also, it's supposedly...

"a point" -- yes, merely the trading equivalent of F=MA There was strong resistance to all that led up to that too

More workarounds: If using Mosaic, select a different tab, and then re-select the one that has the problem. If not using Mosaic, select a different TWS window, then re-select the one that has the problem. These sometimes re-enable control of candle width.
