Spyder, after reviewing the chat log I understood what you were saying about the DOM wall and T&S (I had missed reading one of your entries to the chat). Someone else may have the same question at some point, so below you'll find the basic exchange. Thanks for yesterday's discussion...

'Way to put it all together. That helps a lot, thanks.

To me it looked like the MA on the YM and ES acted as support and the pt 3 with increasing black on the YM was working for you there as well (my YM has a gap there due to bad data, so I can't see the exact time things occurred in that area). I have no idea how to use the overnight session or...

Found this info from Jack and Spyder while doing a review. It relates to trading the tape. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=83605&perpage=6&pagenumber=161

I see, so you crank up the microscope when it's hard to know what's happening with 5 min. bar P/V. The extension, I guess, would be to fine tune with STR/SQU, DOM and T&S during these periods. What do you think of zooming out to a slower fractal under the same circumstances? Based on the way...

Is anyone finding the fractal where price is taping and then trading from that? I've heard this mentioned and it sounds straightforward enough, but I'm not sure how it's accomplished. Any thoughts?

Hi TraderD72, I don't know if this is right, but here's my thinking. Maybe we can help each other. On your first blue box, I remembered guavaman's chart where he pointed out even harmonics in a downtrend (see attachment, hope you don't mind guava). At the end of the close of the 12:40 bar I...

eSignal for charting, IB for feeding data into excel for DOM and Mak's prv.str.neut.squ, and (lol) quotetracker for time and sales data. While I love their data and the way their indicators display on the chart, eSignal's drawing tools have left much to be desired thus far. I've been having...

Doing other stuff today and not annotating. The charts are up in the background, though, and I glanced up at 10:20 and caught what I thought was a change signal. Snagged 3 virtual points on the ES 10:20 bar and went back to my other duties. Sequence was 5 min. ES decreasing PRV in FTT range...

Ahh, ok. Thanks. Here's what I've got so far. Could you tell me what those red and black lines represent on your chart that encapsulate the ticks? Is that a channel indicator or something else?

Yeah, this is nice work, WGTrader.

Tikitrader, thank you and thanks also to dkm for the fixes :) . And while I'm thanking folks, can't forget Vorzo and a big thanks to Pr0crast for all his support. You're all tremendous. It really does take a village to raise a padawan. One additional question, Tikitrader. You posted the...

Seems much easier to know what's happening on days like today.

Great post. You're on a roll today.

Nice trading, Ivo! I was going to ask what the circles represent, but I'm thinking now that they're FTT's. Nice work. Not feeling very bright today. :confused:

Hi all, I'm trying to use the esignal prv file but ran into two problems. 1) The volume is capped so that volume doesn't display above a certain level. 2) I can't seem to edit or delete those horizontal volume rays. The attachment should show you what I mean. Any help you can offer...

Aha! Starting to understand pair strength better now Mr_Black. I'm assuming that "B" means "Buy" and "S" means "Sell". If that's correct, you could you tell us if you're using what appears to be a moving average as a target for taking profits or is something else going on there? It looks...

Very helpful. Thank you. Also, thanks to those who shared some of their mental blocks while trading. I've been experiencing a number of your difficulties, i.e. "fighting old habits", "not completely following the method", "not letting trades materialize", and "knowing what's happening but...

Thanks, Mr_Black. A few questions if you don't mind. What do you mean by "calibrate"? How does one compare the "strength" of one pair to the other? Back in Spyder's JH Futures Journal, you mentioned using a volatility indicator to replace volume based on bar range. Does that tool still...
