Spyder, Your explanation of the forest level gaussians was very helpful. I put together a graphic to help me crystallize it in my mind. Please let me know if I've depicted this right. Thanks. After looking at this again, I think I need to make a change.

My ES for today. I carried over yesterday's channel (my pt 1 was at 15:40 yesterday). I'm not sure if this was correct, but it is what I did. It was a choppy day, but lots of points were harvested!

MAK, FYI I have been using xlq since 2002 (when Leo offered lifetime licenses). It's a great app and I've built numerous Excel models based on the xlq formulas. Let me know if I can help out.

Today's ES. Didn't know what to do with the morning and didn't get into the grove until later in the afternoon. Annotation today was sporadic as I was trying to fit in too many activities today. Point 3's were elusive today imo.

This is a good idea. I also hope to refine and expand my note taking syntax so it makes more sense.

NZ, I should mention that while I believe I'm getting more comfortable with my channel annotating skills, I'm still very much in the learning stage. My quickness to see a profit and take it may or may not really be the right way to do it (even though it's an exercise). I'm not sure if I...

Nice chart Pr0crast. Looks just like mine (means I must have done mine right!)

OP, Here is my log sheet for today (I use a simple Excel worksheet). Mind you my notes are kind of cryptic and it's unedited. I use the YM and MAK's great PRV tool. I record what I'm doing in RT. Keep in mind that this is a paper exercise, but I treat it seriously.

My ES for today. Today's exercise netted 18.75 points in RT. Wow, what a day! Note, I do not annotate the gaussians on my volume chart, because my charting program scales it kind of goofy. I annotate this by hand on the printouts. (I'm going to have to fix this).

My ES for the morning. So far I've found today to be very easy to annotate, especially since the ES virtually mirrored the YM all morning.

Thanks Bundlemaker. I make sure I don't get into a predicting mode by keep asking the computer screen this: "OK market, what do you want to do, continue or change? It's up to you, just let me know and I'll take the appropriate action." I know it's kind of silly, but it helps me make sure I...

Spyder, Today I used MAK's excellent PRV tool in addition to having my 5-min ES and 2-min YM charts on my screen. The PRV worksheet is a great tool to monitor the bar volume. I also had a 15-min ES chart that I looked at every so often to make sure I was getting a bigger picture view. So...

Today's ES. I had some difficulty in the morning (over traded), but by by late morning things started to gel a bit better. I havn't tallied my log sheet yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm positive! It's just paper though.

Since we are revisiting volume gaussians, FWIW, here is a diagram I made some time back to help me understand the gaussian patterns and sequence. It may be helpful to those who are newer to the thread.

Spyder, You want to know how we're doing? At this point, I feel comfortable drawing in the channels in RT (tape, pt 3, channel, repeat!). I'm getting better at identifying the volume gaussians, but I'd say that's where I need more practice. Otherwise, I've very pleased with my own progress...

In hindsight, I may have jumped the gun a little. It did pass FRV however by the EOD. Let's see what next week brings!

Spyder, These play-by-play charts are really helpful, especially to see the gaussian volume patterns develop. Thanks.

Thanks Spyder, but I'm still a bit uncertain how I should have read the ES bar at 9:55. If I understand what you're saying, the Point Three Channel was established by 9:45, at which time the up trend channel was established and one should have gone long. And since the bar at 9:55 did not close...
