    Al Brooks Trading Best Pice Action

    "Schooled as a scientist" LOL. Why not just admit you couldn't make volume work for you and leave it at that? No doubt you can trade without using volume, but disregarding one of the two independent variables in a system when learning about the system is hardly scientific. Unless, of course...

    How do I know if my computer is good enough?

    I use timers also and for me this is a problem of the computer clock, which is what my timers use, not being synched with the data vendor clock. Thus, I synch my computer clock to an atomic clock server every morning as part of my routine. If your timer uses the data vendor's clock, this...

    Land of the Free...lol

    The sign on the door in the pic says they're being raided by the LAPD and county health department. The writer of the article says the feds are involved but doesn't mention which agency. In any case, the LAPD is famous for its heavy handedness. It wouldn't be shocking to see them raid a...

    Don Miller Good Video

    My question was rhetorical, but thanks anyway, bro. BTW, in another of his vids (7-30-2011) he says he's looking to back someone with capital to trade, in a mini-prop model, and the person need not be a "jellie." This could be your chance. Seriously, you should apply.

    What is a "wholesale liquidity provider"? He keeps referring himself to that. Best I can tell, he enters staggered limit orders outside the market against the immediate direction of price looking to fade the mini "panics" for a few ticks. I think the market rationale behind that is, "it...

    This is the first time I've seen a description of your volume based chart. It doesn't appear to me that this chart is an improvement over what you start out with. For one thing, on your chart, determining the pace of bars will be done by an eyeballing of how quickly the bars are forming. For...

    I'd like to become a better trader

    Big daily ranges are what you want, especially if you limit your participation to intraday only, which it appears you do. What exactly does "very emotional days in nature" mean? Are you saying you get sad/happy/angry/etc. on big range days? Or are you saying the market is emotional? If the...

    Is technical analysis getting the recognition it deserves in university studies?

    Would have been great if there was something like this when I was in college. When I was in college I worked with newspapers and watched a delayed ticker on the local UHF channel KWHY channel 22. Had to call the "discount" broker on the phone and wait for a call back to confirm. Sometimes I...

    He can't taste the difference between the events after bar 13 and bar 17 (his chart) because he's missing the special sauce--CONTEXT. Look how he quotes me in his post--he leaves out ALL of the monitored elements referring to context which I purposefully included. LOL. Maybe he thinks I'm...

    Self Sabotage or Stupidity?

    Hi Flashboy, yes the PM sentiment was long. You referred to it as "Trend is heading UP" and qualified it to the 2m bar duration. For me, the bar duration is somewhat arbitrary and is merely a choice to view what exists outside it. I'm sure you knew that the AM sentiment was short, so you were...

    Yup that's gotta be it. I must be lying because it's plain to see YOU can't differentiate those two events. Soup or genie us.

    Mathematically computing a trendline

    Hi Prof, can you clarify what you mean by results not being "consistent"? Are you saying that a TL, once drawn, needs to have price bounce off it some x number of times for it to be called "consistent"? And that you've found TLs drawn on time duration bars wanting in that respect? Just trying to...

    $48,000??? For trading classes? Did he receive a degree at the end? Let us know when people start taking out federal student loans to attend OTA. What a racket.

    LOL!!! Oh shit, you've deciphered Spyder's Yoda routine dead on. Hilarious. As for me, I don't mind that you think I'm insane, but an enabler? Hmm...that's a good one. I hadn't really thought of that. Maybe you've figured me out. Nah.... This is how I know you're full of shit: You think...

    Not to me. To him yeah, otherwise why would he be bringing it up to justify trashing a competitor who supposedly lost $300K+? What does "four-figure" mean anyway? $1000? $9000? $12.50? Regardless of the amount, are the two guys really all that different? They're in the same industry vying to...

    I clicked on the link and oh shit that's funny. That's the guy swinging his four-figure blotter around in people's faces. C'mon, man, is he related to you? I know you mean well but being a tout is pretty low. Will it take you another 10 years to see you're not much farther along at 28 than when...

    What I like about your annotation is that it shows more clearly that the bar that was a bitch to handle in the AM was bar 15 (bar 16 on my chart). At least it was for me. Part of the trouble was a lateral drawn too tight. Handling the bar requires adeptness. Adeptness for me means recognizing...

    Nah, man. I'm not offended. Neither was I offended by your earlier post that I replied to. In order to be offended, I would have to take you and what goes on at this site seriously. People who know me here know that I come to bullshit with others and occasionally tweak a vendor for amusement...
