If you'll allow me to spout off a bit more maybe this might add something. I had a lot of trouble holding due to late entries after the FTT's. As you mentioned, the closer your entry to the FTT and #3, the easier it is to hold. If I had a great entry at an FTT it was easy to hold for the #3...

Esteban, I don't have a problem with the gray dotted channel in this chart. It's in a larger down channel, coming after/during a non-dom traverse. Bar 9 heads lower on what appears to be increasing red and the start of a new gaussian. Bar 10 changes all that and it's out the window, but at...

It didn't come easy. The tapes help a lot 'cause I couldn't stay on the forest, with a wide channel and watch it come all the way back. No comfort at all. Tapes get me close enough. The trouble with using the other tools before you get the channel trading down, is you can get signals on...

The volatility was nice after a slow start this week. I think your trades work out pretty well considering the hold time. If you don't mind a suggestion stolen from a Jack post, instead of exiting force yourself to hold until you get a new entry signal in the opposite direction. That might...

I'm pretty laid back but at that point I'd probably be chewing the guy out to put it mildly. So many times it's the old baggage that gets us. You mentioned the "fear of gravity" and I can relate to that as well. When I first started trading it was primarily breakouts. So there were a lot...

Janis, The NFP last Friday was released at 8:30, so you can't use it then. The Sqz/Str is useless at that time since the INDU hasn't opened yet. It takes a few bars after the open to sync, so you would make your adjustment 3 - 4 bars into the session. Sometimes the prior days ending...

Looking back is very helpful for a boost. I was reading through some notes I made on an old thread yesterday and was surprised at the difference. Night and day. Consider some of the older threads where you read posts of people (that are really ticked off) pointing out reversals Jack made...

The way I see that one is the increasing red of the R2R coming after the point 3, but I could be wrong. The top of the black gaussian should be on the 8:44 bar as that is the top of the move. That is being strict in matching the gaussians and channels. Because of the way the software is...

As you know, I'm usually doing the afternoon session. First thing I thought was WTF? Did I miss an early rollover? LOL! We weren't just in dry up but very dry up, so I thought forget this. By the time it looked like we might have volume coming in around 15:00, that late in the day, it was...

LOL! Where do you think the language student story came from? -EZ

Exactly. Skipping over the flaw bars was a big deal for me as well. As was matching gaussians to the channel precisely. There are still some rough areas even doing that. Look at Friday from 12:30 on. My gaussians are very different from what I've seen posted. Spyders' long term black...

A couple comments on the charts FWIW. The 20sma seemed to work with the "all sessions" on, but if you leave all sessons clicked the carry over channels don't work. The YM starting earlier can give you the heads up on premarket direction. I saw the R2Rs after the point 3s. If you make...

It's interesting because you never know what is going to make it stick or click. You can hear the same thing many times, said in a slightly different way, and one of them will create a picture that makes it click - you now "get it" and it's permanent. Mak's view is slightly different from...

Bundlemaker I'm gonna take a stab at a couple of suggestions for you, do with them as you please. And, if you wish to continue this conversation I will do my best to pass on what I know. The single outstanding difference for me was the attitude with which I approached trading and for that...

Bundlemaker This is a great question with an answer that may surprise you. Your wording, almost exactly, is how I would ask my teachers/mentors. What I have found is that trying to focus on specific examples is exactly what WASN'T working for me for so long. Speaking for myself (but I strongly...

This was a post in the Spydertraders' Jack Hershey Futures Forum. I was prompting Bundlemaker to expand on what he posted. Thought the exchange that followed would be good to post. Original post: Bundlemaker For those of you still struggling or doubtful, I thought I'd add my most recently...

Today was a tough day for doing gaussians on volume. The area you mentioned is a stall going into a lateral, low volume which can be difficult read, IMO. At 14:35 everything changed with volume, then the lateral BO to FBO. Before then the volume is pretty flat. If you compare all the volume...

--- How have your trades (real, simulated or monitored) go over the last week? Mostly good, still recognizing HVS and CCC too late. --- How do you feel during the trades? Anxious? Nervous? Ecstatic? Calm for the most part, confused when getting seemingly conflicting change signals...
