I assume everyone enjoyed the boost in volatility today. The day started off with problems in Ensign - it kept bungling the auto IB connection last night, so I just saved everything and shut the computer down. Starting up this a.m., I was greeted w/ Ensign having 'lost' my entire ES/YM...

Heheh - that hack must of been a real wingdinger :D Sounds like your wife was very accommodating - I doubt if I could have been so diplomatic faced w/ those circumstances! But the analogy to trading is very good. Often times, the signals which are the most clear are the most difficult to...

More of the same. Any time I feel frustration setting in, I force myself to consider where I was 6 months ago, when results were very erratic. Slow and steady is acceptable here. Also experienced some unusual feelings during the report. In the past, I would have been gun-slinging the DOM -...

Shortened session today due to other commitments. Doesn't appear I will be missing much. Looking forward to getting the FOMC out of the way, and hopefully, to the return to more normal volatility levels.

Again, to be clear, all charts shown are in CDT zone, and the above attached chart snip is the 2 min YM. Results for Monday attached ...

I will direct this question to Ezzy, since I mentioned last night to him that I wanted to ask something, but anyone so inclined is of course welcome to respond. As an example, let's say price is in a dominant upchannel, and an apparent FTT is presented. It is my understanding that we then...

Hahaha - too funny! :D

Thanks for your comments, Trader666. I realize you are positioned on the other side of the fence, and that is cool. I must say I am not familiar with Curtis Faith - so I appreciate the suggestion. Your quote above interests me, because at the onset of my PV studies, I was quite intimidated...

bundlemaker - just wanted to give another quick thanks for your contributions here. I've surely studied (and appreciated) all your posts in Spy's journal, and am pleased that you have taken the time to also share your thoughts within these pages. You have that unique ability to transfer...

Ezzy - just a couple quick comments for now as it's getting late after a full day. You are correct - I normally start the ES chart at the NYSE opening bell, but on Friday I did start up earlier for the NFP. By doing so, it surely did affect the 20 sma, since I specifically had asked some...

TB - in addition to what Tums has recommended above, I think it would behoove you to forego trading the Globex mini Euro for a while, and begin to familiarize yourself with the mkts of choice here, the ES and YM. I had been solely trading the Euro for well over 2 yrs before discovering these...

I swear - this is my last interjection - but I couldn't let this one slide - that made my day, Nanook!!!! Best to ya, bro .. :D

Hi TB - as you will learn, a little humor will become an indispenable aid in your trading trials and tribulations ... nonetheless, plz forgive the intrusion ...

No fair - you cheated ... :D No joke - I found it quite interesting - just had a hankerin' to test your "heritage" :) Now I need to go rub noses w/ the wifey ... Cheers ...

Ok, Nanook - time for Eskimo quiz. :D Why are igloos dome shaped? ( I only recently learned the answer and found it to be quite "cool")

Hmm - this is a rather strange comment coming from one seeking help. I suppose in your mind you sense that by calling out some super trader on the family jewels, that he will feel compelled to defend his status amongst the gender - hahaha! To reiterate Socrates' poignant comments: "Young men...

Oh, great ! Another 500+ pg. journal to read, now :( :D Seriously, altho I've surely followed links to that journal in the past, for some reason I failed to ever make a good note of it. Thank you, cnms2, for showcasing yet another undoubtedly valuable reference source! It's kinda...

and Friday's snip ...

LOL - got timed out in edit mode, so will just continue here. Tack this on to the above post's ... or perhaps 6 bars to develop. Don't ask me why - just one of my probable misinterpretations. But here I inadvertently 'forced the gaussians' to fit the anticipated channels. - Both of these...

I had mentioned earlier a couple of Pt. 3 trades which I entered the past couple days. They seem to have some relevance to Ezzy's/bundlemaker's previous discussion, or - at least to me, on a more personal level. Bundlemaker noted several techniques which have helped him make further progress...
