Yes I understand they are derived from different things. I suppose what I was trying to say was more along the lines of if for Wyckoff the averages turned up before the stock he was trading did and the stock he was trading was at a point let's say testing support or a halfway point it would...

I know you tend to help those that keep an active journal I haven't been posting to my journal but I am doing the work and will post more diligently after the holidays but I did have two questions. 1. Can the tickq be used similarly to the way wyckoff used the averages. Would that be the...

Sorry I haven't posted much of anything been busy with the holidays approaching. A few things. I have noticed some interesting behaviors of price movement and I've also noticed many things where without the use of a "slower" interval can get confusing. One thing that I find interesting with the...

My testing only 19% of the time the first signal is the best signal. More times than not you're dealing with some type of open range/consolidation or the open high or low "breaks" first before the "bigger" move happens. These are my stats though yours might be different. I find I am at my best...

My mistake. I thought you entered off the faster interval with the whole tickq divergence thing. Just was wondering where you placed your entry as there are many swing points on the faster chart etc. testing has begun. Thanks for the response.

Hey DB from your book, would you mind sharing your entry method when using the 5sec or 1 tick chart (if you entered off those charts)? I have a couple of ideas of my own but I figured however you did it would be consistent/simple enough for you or else you wouldn't have done it that way. I know...

Real quick sort of generic recap. Here's the 1min with some areas of interest and then the line chart. I didn't talk a lot about pace just trying to keep it simple at the moment. I do notice that whenever there are sharp surges price tends to "recoil" and based on that recoil you can sort of...

I am trying to think of an efficient way I can post my commentary or recap of what I was seeing. I was really focused so it's a lot haha. I'd rather spend my time at the moment doing more replay then writing paragraphs. There was a ton of good things that happened today and to type it all out...

Very good stuff. Hopefully my efforts will entice more of your participation where we can actually have constructive conversations/discussion versus some of the other stuff that goes on on these boards. I value your insights because to me it makes more sense than other trading methods.

Very nice. That makes sense and that's sort of what I've been attempting to get a handle on. Thanks again for your posts. These discussions will probably be more helpful once I post some examples/commentary. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

See this all makes a bit more sense when I only look at one side of the coin and let's say buyers and going long. Simplistically when buyers become interested or enough buyers become interested price rises and when buyers don't want to continue to buy at higher and higher prices price stalls or...

I guess I just don't know how to turn the movements of price into people and what they want, don't want etc

Maybe I'll wait until tomorrow and make notes and get back to you on that? I think it's more of a what does it all mean sort of thing. Like a hesitation or a sudden drop off in pace. Are we resting before continuing or are we done and it's time to move in the other direction? I know there are...

Honestly DB you've said so much and while I thought I knew and I thought I had aha moments before still there were things left to be desired. The ahas helped but still I knew there was more. I can trade a pattern that's not difficult but thinking about the dynamic btw buyers and sellers honestly...

I have done this before but I found it to be almost too rigid and I started to focus more on like I said in my first post the pattern versus what buyers and sellers are doing. I have a setup that appears roughly 100 times in a year w just under a 70% win rate and a 4.6:1 profit to loss. I...

I was being funny more than implying anything. A trader is a trader that's it in my book anyway. Lol

Funny you say this. In doing a replay of two consecutive days both days I went long both longs contained by a 60m DL. Question I asked myself was on day two should I still be in the long from the previous day? Then I started thinking if you do get a "precise" entry let's say on the daily...

Thanks for your post. If you could explain what you mean by learning to differentiate further between different market contexts that would be cool? Or give an example. Also I've tried the T&S thing and honestly I couldn't really grasp what was going on with it. It made me "think" too much and...

Another good post. "I do focus on failure. If buyer's have control, then they need to do what buyer's do, which if done with sufficient demand or effort, must put prices up. Failure to put prices up at a level that had previously also seen failure on the part of buyers (i.e. resistance) means I...

Context as always will be critical
