Health and Fitness Great workout on the water-rower, 30 minutes with warm-up and warm-down. Plan is alt days for 2/52, then daily for 2/52, switching it up with alt day intervals, then mixing in running. Weekly massage wouldn't go amiss either.

Absolutely. But then again, there's also Trader E, who just trades the long channel diagonal (1 trade) for ~1xATR. As Jack might say, the 'use it or lose it' phenomenon applies. Bodybuilders might call it the principle of progressive resistance. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi might have some...

All in all, pleased with the result. Took a couple of turns wide and early, but recovered, and later in the race, got caught up in the moment, sucked into B's slipstream and overtook him on the final stretch. Much more importantly, I felt that I unquestionably belonged with these drivers...

Debrief My slightly unusual debrief pits me against two fictitious traders, Trader A, cream of the (2nd-division) crop, and the good ole reliable workhorse, Trader B. To recap, we're trading the sub-fractal (aka faster fractal) traverses, Trader A carving razor-sharp turns to rapturous...

Biofeedback I was glad the EmWave finally arrived, and moreso, that the setup was quick and uncomplicated. Less than an hour after I unpacked it, I’d – at least briefly – worked through all of the main functions and felt comfortable using it during the market day. It’s...

Preaching to the converted... :)

The Day Today we had a rather sedate inverted saucer, with the siren song of bars 55-65 amply recompensed by the two nice moves that followed. For my debrief, I will see how I measured up against the eponymous Traders A and B, given that my goal today was to mimic the latter. (n.b. end...

The 15:45 bar exceeded the high of the 12:35 bar, negating the earlier revision of the long channel. Therefore, looking back to the start of Friday we have two channels within the short intermediate trend. <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2222367>

And here's the overview of the session. The dimple at around 11 minutes indicates the drop from 100 to 98. <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2222350>

Coherence ratios locked a couple of hours into the pm session (as soon as Accumulated Score hit 1000 - presumably the max value) and I lost the screenshot so started a new session lasting from bars 76-80. I experimented with a breathing technique I learnt a while ago... breathing through the...

Too slow with the camera... after a stuttering range expansion, we have the final sub-fractal traverse to wrap things up for the day. <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2222252>

Add another sentence, replacing A with discretionary and you have wisely uttered not one, but two pervasive truths.

Zoom-out to level 3 Hmm, these traverses look conspicuously narrow compared to Fridays... <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2221968>

Thanks Jack. Those observations are spot on with my recent thoughts. Be assured that free-flowing certainty and mastery of the current toolset are my prerogatives. As regards the emWave, although it has The Zone marked at about 50 coherence, it certainly didn't feel like The Zone I'd...
