Wow! 1 post, = 6 pages. That is a fantastic risk /reward ratio.

Can you give more specifics regarding your preferred style of trading. Short term , long term. Any particular chart TF's that seem to have some order to your way of looking at the market? If you have been at this for 4 years you should have some ideas.

Do you have a written trading plan? Are you following it? How many trades do you average a day? Why don't you sim the first signal you get and take it from there.

Are you talking about Jack's most recent post or about Al Brooks' book?

Word.

Go to the respective manufacturers website and look up the specs on the particular components. It sounds like you are a fish out of water, go to a local computer shop explain your needs and ask them to give you a quote and list of components that they would use if they build you a computer.

I have both open, time (5 min) based chart and constant volume (varies based on PA) charts. Time charts (for me) tend to show consolidation areas more clearly but not the nuances of PA, that's where I use vol charts.

Lets get the legal requirements out of the way. Nodoji in no way, shape or form has approved of the following. I don't think it is so much prediction but more so having an open mind that anything can happen at anytime. Predicting (bias) tends to marry us to an outcome and once we lose our...

I hope you wear lead underwear. My body was tingling just looking at all of those monitors.

Thanks for the detailed post. I don't know what charting software you use, I use Sierra Charts and you can enter trades directly from the screen along with targets and stops. (I know Ninja also has this feature) It would seem like a natural compliment to your style of trading, since you are...

Would you mind explaining how you perform your bar-by-bar analysis? Print out your chart and do it by hand or scroll back to the start of the day and advance chart 1 bar at a time? thanks

Call up whoever you get your data feed thru and start squawking.

I use Sierra Charts and IB also rock solid. Minute, tick, volume and range all plot data seamlessly.

I can top that, Hawaii time is 6 hours ahead of EST.

That explains a lot. I was trying to figure why my Cheerio's kept grouping together when I would separate them in my cereal bowl this am.

Few people have the discipline to do what you have done. Just finished reading your closed journal. Siming (or simming not sure?) for months on end. How many people start a diet, exercise program or whatever and quit before a month is over. Takes a certain type of personality and desire. You...

The actual numbers are not important its the markets response to the report that matters, and as you have said that will be played out in the PA of the chart.

In this business it is imperative to be responsible for your trading decisions. You have to ultimately make the call on which trading vehicles best suit your trading plan. I am not saying don't ask questions" I ask questions all the time. My point is "the buck stops with you" (each trader)...

After reading part of your other journal I feel I have fallen into a spiders web. This will be my last post on this thread, best of luck.

I used to trade the TF. I am looking at the CL. Seems like the same risk (in normal market action) with more potential. When I am looking at something to trade I am looking for decent intraday swings (ground breaking). The TF has decent moves but seems like it has alot of consolidation also.
