    Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Futures Trading Journal

    Hi Spyder That was an inspired choice for the Pt1 of the carryover channel. Was it chosen as the best fit or is there an absolutely objective way of choosing? (I note the associated LTL may have given clues on gradient.) I'm lazy with carryovers and realise it is a weak spot. EDIT: I see...

    Do Trendlines work?

    The alternative you missed is to just do it. There is a wealth of information on this forum about the detail of Jack's methods, clue: search Spydertrader. It is well tested and verifiable. To complain that his methods are unclear is just lazy. I suggested to you above that trendlines can...

    Do Trendlines work?

    So much frustration, so much anger. :( This thread has all the hallmarks to become an ET Classic.

    Do Trendlines work?

    I'm touched and amused to read this. (I think you meant to say you were addressing trefoil's post above mine.)

    I set one up that looks like this using candles in absence of a histogram option: <img src=http://elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1474281>

    Do Trendlines work?

    You like being clear and then assert that an inanimate noun can clearly show you something. That's not clear. What are these channels of which you speak? Or you can draw lines on the price chart. I know which is clearer to me. So can lines on a chart - get out some crayolas and give...

    I Need More Accountability - Sim P/L

    I enjoyed this post. Flow - go with the flow - fluency The part about looking for all the superfluous negatives resonates - instead of focusing on the sufficient data you need Now to make a decision. Do you want to go to A or B? The river is flowing towards B. Tough choice. Choose...

    Yes, I noticed an improvement in my EQ (calm) having the PRV on the chart itself. Amazing what a difference it makes having the right tools in front of you. Minor changes in required effort have a big effect. Like a HUD in an F16... well I can dream :D. Since we're on the subject of QT...

    LOL. It looks like a map of the Battle of the Bulge.

    Why are all these people coming out of the blue with silly questions?

    I feel violated. I responded to the mining M&A question in good faith. :eek:

    HSI 50 points drop in 1 second

    I call those bars "fat fingers hitting a thin DOM". This is hindsight, but if you look at the 1 minute chart and put in channels, you will notice that the sequence was indicating change. It is not so clear on the 5 minute chart.

    Yes, you're right - the bigger picture is automating this sucker so I can go fishing. Thanks for your input.

    Many people have asked if the 10:10 bar was an FTT. On my chart it looks like it touched if I use thick lines, not if I use thin. On others it looks like it missed by a tick. Who is right? Looking at the strict geometry: p1: 9.75 p2: 13.25 p3: 10.25 gradient: 0.5/6 channel width...

    questions on counter trend system

    OK, this post made absolutely no sense to me at first either. So with the diagrams posted (left one, right one), Google search on "regression trend MLR", ET search on MLR and 10 minutes in between watching an anticipated BO on the Nikkei, I was able to figure out what Jack is on about. m...

    Moving from the US to the UK (questions) ...

    Anything kept offshore (relative to UK) is not taxed in the UK unless it is brought in (and declared), when it is essentially treated as income in that year. Get an account with an ATM card if you have incidental expenses and want access. All employment income in UK is taxed at source, PAYE...

    I think Spyder invited us to post examples of gaussians and channels. Here's the first couple of hours of today's DAX: <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1467672> If you get out your crayolas and add up the points remember to multiply the total by $30 to get an...

    Do mergers and acquisitions in the mining industry create value for firms?

    Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Futures Trading Journal

    No, no, no! The CO approach is to observe the tool for 2 minutes, use it for a day or less, decide it doesn't work, tweak it and report back your improvements, then get bored and start a flame war about Jack. Really Spyder have you learnt nothing from ET? (Just feeling a little sympathetic...
