Wouldnt surprise me about countrywide... I sent alot of folks over there that we couldnt get approved. They always came back approved but with a shite rate =)

Was every trade you took a short? Or am I looking at that wrong.. If I were you I would be happy to be positive on all shorts with a day like today

lol...i here ya, i have been holding short for over an hour now

Mike great job on your charts, I thought I was looking at Spyders for a second...

Thanks for the help palli... Here is the link for the str/squ/prv combo tool http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1046171

Can anyone help out regarding mak's prv/str/squ excel app? I have downloaded the IB version from the link provided earlier in the thread and typed my username in the appropriate spot. It still tries to run (myusername).exe and also MYID.exe when i start it. It asks me this about 20 times and...

bravo! Nice work David

anyone running mak's prv/str/squ for IB? Having trouble getting this to work, possibly because of the new build?

Agreed... These double gaussians are a tremendous help, going to start annotating this way to remember the bigger picture.... Thanks Pr0

By my estimates, ideally these actions would have netted ~26 pts, with a daily range of 11 pts or ~2.5x daily range I thought it might be helpful to look at each entry/reverse/exit as a decision point and try to go through the thought process involved with making the decision. Anyone care...

FT I think you misunderstood.. I value your posts and have learned some things from them. I just requested that you sum up your debriefs/thoughts into a few posts if possible. I dont think every realization needs to be posted in realtime because very few of us follow the DAX in realtime...

Filter... Just as a request, would you mind keeping your log entries into a journal like others have done, to keep the pages to a minimum. I think the past 4 pages have been nothing but your market observations... hope you dont take it the wrong way

I ran across this tidbit in 'The Disciplined Trader' by Mark Douglas, and for a moment there I thought I was reading a Spyder/JH book :D <I> There is another characteristic of our nature that supports our need to learn. Whenever we learn a skill, the steps involved in the operation of that...

Not sure about either of those entries... I had a short early on 10:20 bar and long on 10:35 bar...If you could post your chart we could help a bit better In any event, welcome!

doesnt get clearer than that ... you had to get 15 pts before you even thought about getting out

Take a stab at Spyders drill, little trouble w/ the Gaussians, especially at low vol times

Dont look at it as right/wrong. This is not right/wrong type of stuff. Everyone who trades this method will probably accrue a different # of points at the end of the day. You will hear alot of people saying 'eventually you will learn to profit from your mistakes'. 1 of 2 things happens on...

After the FBO at around 10:15-10:20 you would exit or reverse...depending on your experience level. No reason to hold that long back to your entry point IMO... is that what you are asking?

Spyder... Just to expand on your debrief of that sequence....Say you could have 2 volume bars for each of those price bars, it would look something like this? I think that is what youre getting at... <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1374413>

is this default set up for interactive brokers?
