Crescit, What you are pondering is what I suspect where the art in all this lies. I have no idea why today I didn't move point 3. I just knew not to. If I thought about it too much, I probably would have. I do wish I knew why, I'd tend to trust myself a lot more. Anyone care to comment?

Hope this helps Crescit, my main challenge is not bailing where I note a reversal possiblity.

When Jack says, "important values in formations", is that essentially referring to pivot points. If not, I'm missing something. Also, I'm a bit confused about which fractal to watch for the stop log. In one place Jack states, "make log from the fractal you trade", which to me means the 5min...

When the broker runs out of available borrowable stock, you can't short it. Can happen with any stock, at any broker.

Don't bother with the market profile add on, it currently doesn't work correctly, and you don't need it. Use the EFS formula from esignals forum and open the formula with the editor and read the comments for the settings. Learning how to use market profile is a steep learning curve, but IMHO...

I use a variation based on the free volume profile formulas that esignal offers. Not completely LDB, but still very useful.

One trade for me today, small profit, huge lesson. I"m trading SPY in small size to help keep the emotion out, so my prices are for that instrument, sorry about that. I do watch the ES for actual trigger points though. I'm antsy, so made early entry at 9:37, 98.79. Bias for today was long...

I thought I"d just point out some of the stuff I look at and how Jacks stuff can fit together with other patterns. Day began by noticing an opening price within yesterdays value area (value area is a market profile idea, suggesting a non trend sort of day, and testing of highs/lows by the...

Jack, how about a bundle fix, I made the same anticapation this am as crescit, around 9:40. I'm seeing these setups work out on past history (ie looking at old charts), but it seems not getting the feel when in real time. I'd like to be more patient with holding when price is going...

JohnnyK, I respectfully suggest that you have misunderstood Maltz. You are making an assumption that your "state" is caused by your environment or something outside of yourself. That belief is one particular model. As a matter of fact most people live by this model. The challenge with it, it...

Yes I have been. It "sounds" like you're getting a bit bent out of shape. Is ET now going to consider personal opinions the same thing as attacks?

If I had a choice between moderators and Jack, I"d pick Jack regardless of supposed attacks. You see, the moderators don't teach me anything, Jack does. Unfortunately, because you choose to delete this supposed post, I now can't make my own mind up as.

Lets all take a deep breath and relax. We cannot afford to lose Jack. He is the finest educator on this board, with no ill motivations. I can see the writing on the wall, his stuff works. Let him do his thing how he knows best. If you don't understand him, reconsider that your perceptual...

As I was expecting sort of a "banger" day, I passed on the morning trades. One trade this afternoon as follows: Short ES 2:37pm at 983.50 observations: macd -.53, stoch fast line under 20, coming off potential double top, 1min began entwining under 20 and volume was low during the ensuing...

this is just awesome stuff guys, thank you, thank you, thank you

nwbprop, thanks for the explanation. If you don't mind, let me take something you said one step further. I'm trying to understand why you would get out, if not reverse, if price didn't make it to the far side (meaning upper channel if long) of the channel. Is this to make sure you're only...

vorzo, In your example of a normal sequence above, I'm assuming it's a long scenario. If so, then the "away" side of a channel would be the top of the channel and the "right" side would be the bottom of the channel. Am I getting this right. From your analysis of my trade ("entry was at...

first trade today: long ES at 11:05:07, 1010.75 xxx at 11:14:59 1009 then it took off, how much room do I need to give these trades?

As #F is always using the most current (and thus highest volume) contract I can't think of any reason to not use it. That's exactly what I do.

Here are 2 trades from yesterday (6/160 that I took. Tear them apart....I'd rather look dumb than be poor. short ES 12:45 @ 1002.50 exit 12:45 @ 1003 short ES 12:47 @ 1002.25 exit 12:48 @ 1003.25
