Do you ever trade off intraday trends? All of the charts you've posted are focused on trades based on longer timeframe S/R.

No need for a recordset/dataset -- you can use the .net grid in unbound mode. Doing so will allow you to get the values from the API, write them directly to column/table objects, and then bind this to a datagrid. This page has a simple example...

The chart was generated automatically with tradestation and the report in the lower portion is excel -- I combined the two images with Snagit. (I don't use TS for charting, just trading) For the excel report I created a template so I just cut/paste the data from tradestation and it displays in...

My first trade put me in the red and I never recovered the rest of the day. My head definitely wasn't in the game and the result was slow reaction and a lot of bad decisions. At this point I need to do some detailed debriefing to identify what I was missing. I'm also looking forward to the...

Interesting comment -- I've never considered a TL having a weak point, I'll give this some thought. I have noticed that when I have a trend line in place and then have to adjust it for volatility I am less confident that it will become a point of S/R. Do you trade with channels Jack Hershey...

I think he is referring to all of the elements of his system that we should be doing through the day... pre-flight check, annotate charts, sweep, write logs, debrief, etc.

Early in the thread Jack made a big push for us to annotate all of the channels on ES and YM, not just the major ones (also pay attention to the ST, IT, and LT trends). Here's my es/ym charts from yesterday with a lot of the traverses still annotated. This is probably like reading somebody...

Easy I set this up yesterday... how do you interpret the number in the margin below indu?

Nice trades Dan. The locations of your exits they seem to be well timed in that you wouldn't have made much more by holding longer. As mentioned, each exit looks like it would have fared well with a reversal. Is this the chart you trade from? My one comment is that I would expect anyone...

Not much to comment today. I saw a lot more trades developing than I actually took. My spanking of the day came on bar 75 when I bought at the RTL and didn't wash when it BO... the volume didn't feel like a surge and PRV was declining so I waited to see if it would come back... guess I...

Easy, what's your take on the volume this week? Seems dead compared to the past few weeks.

Were the first six bars or so a lateral trend (my blue line) or something else? You can see on my chart I had us in a short trend carried over from yesterday. Bar 18...

another view showing few directional changes within a 5m bar

Jack, thank you for your posts last week -- you gave me some pointed areas to look at in my debriefing that have been helpful. I've been looking closer at how the 5m ES breaks down into 1m bars and I believe I've found what you are referring to above. I've attached a 1m ES chart from Thursday...

todays charts, by request

i think if you excercised a little patience to wait for your wash price (same entry/exit) then you'd have had 1. less hyperness (referring to the 10 ish series of trades) and 2. no loss (aside from commissions). Good feedback. Acting hyper is still a problem for me but I notice a considerable...

Only made three entries today but also had five reversals to keep me in the market for 5, 6, and 28 minutes. Volume seemed low most of the day so I avoided a lot of the trades that tempted me in last week. I was noticably more relaxed while holding and logged more observations than I have...

be aware that Greenspan's replacement is to be announced at 13:00 EST. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9803463/

Your posts are helpful and relevant to the thread -- I encourage you to remain active.

Excellent debrief. You commented yesterday that you "have NOT got it all together yet," but I see that you have a good read of the market and are talking in terms of holding and reversing and profit takings per move... would you share where you are at in your SCT trading (what skills are solid)...
