Today was pretty frustrating -- hopefully I learned a bit too... Every time prices started to stall and volume declined I was looking for a short. Well -- every time that happened today it was just a new pt 3 in the ST channel. all day. It's frustrating because it was the easiest day...

As they say in basketball -- the market took the ball into trouble... we're definitely in an IT up trend -- rising R all day today tells that story. The horizontal R came into play beautifully from about 11:30 - 12:30... I really didn't expect to see the up sloping R get broken at...

My ES feed frozen again today 3/25 -- last transaction on T&S was at 10:05:27. JT

I know nwbprop started this thread -- but I think it's useful so I'm going to continue posting... So... the big drop at the end of 3/19 through 3/22 was definintely a traversal to the left side of the LT channel... since then prices have been banging up against downsloping R and then...

good advice I've done something along these lines and it was basically effective for me. It does require a fair amount of discipline - particularly when you are in a social situation "9:30 pm: sorry I have to go home and go nigh-nigh now" Not sure if I'm quite ready to use the meds...

I seemed to be getting good data on IB during the 'blackout' JT

Hi all I live on the west coast and I trade the US markets - therefore the trading day starts around 6:30am for me. My preference is to be up at 6:00 --have some breakfast and be alert and ready to go once the day kicks off. My problem is that I have always been a night person. I've...

Thank you Qcharts for putting a cloud directly over the BO. crap. JT

Anyone else have their data feed freeze on them around 1500? JT

Why not just monitor on a slower time frame when things seem to be going nowhere... typically the volume will let you know when these times are at hand. JT

When I read Jack's posts in this thread... I think I absorbed about 40% of it immediately on the first pass. But I will probably end up printing them out and going through them carefully with a yellow marker later on -- until I get to 100%. (reread my original post -- his posts require...

Exactly. This is why I wrote the inital post. It is my nature to think quite the opposite... I usually believe that I am not due help and I must be self reliant. Jack's posts (for whatever reason) suspended that belief and I found myself in an unusual place psychologically -- unusual...

Hi nononsense... I recognize your handle from Jack's posts. You are absolutely correct... the example you give is a great example of what I'm referring to when I say that Jack is a "one way street" ... he is not interested in clarifying any statement on anyone's terms but his own...

Well... that's what you call an IT breakout. Looks like we have our preliminary LT channel. Hopefully we'll get a full traverse to the left side... should provide good money velo$ity. nwbprop - did you catch any of that BO? JT

Have you ever printed out one of Jack's posts... highlighted it with a marker and then filed it into a 3 ring binder? If you have then whats the confusion? If you have not then I'm not surprised you are confused by my post. Others won't be. JT

New IT pt3? This is getting interesting. Hopefully we have a FBP forming. JT

This is a bit of ramble about Jack (currently grob109). Before I continue I need to say that I think what Jack does is great and I have made great strides in trading thanks to his posts. I have nothing but good will towards Jack. I'm a student. Student is just a euphemism for being net...

Cool to hear that someone else is out there trying to get somewhere with this stuff. I agree with you about volume... I was really dismissive of volume when I first started out (2 yrs ago) -- I think mainly because I traded equities and the intraday volume for equities is really noisy. I...

Please elaborate. JT

Yup - I've got the same lines drawn in. Congrats on carving! That rocks. One thing I noticed today that you might want to keep an eye on -- the failed traversal at the end of the day today may or may not be a flaw... depends on whether or not we get continuation tomorrow. If it is a...
