Does OTR Charts mean "One Tick Range Charts"?

Is there an explanation of what this is?

Another area where I see conflicting reads in both directions that result in twisting me up in knots :(

Periods like the one circled are really tough going. If I was adept at intra bar trading all would be good, but alas I am not so I get batted around during times like these :( Anyone else have trouble navigating these times. If so how do you deal with them. The guavaman would like to know :D

This was certainly a day of two markets eh? The morning with its shallow channels wreak havoc on me (per usual). It seems even the slightest congestion whether I anticipate it or not, chews me up:mad: Additionally, I find myself in the "damned if you do, damned if you don't" phase of learning...

:D :D :D :D :D !!!

Two questions: 1. How do you go about selecting what server to use i.e. Santa Clara? 2. I have IQ Feed for the data on my Ninja Trader Simulator. The data will not provide DOM for simulating trade. Can someone recommend a different data provider for the NT simulator?

The period to 10:30 to 10:50 was troublesome for me. The rest of the day required guts and patience :D

I second, third and fourth this sentiment :D

I believe the confusion that I (and possibly others as well) have over identifying FTT's in real time stem primary from the following scenarios. These are based on using the coarse tools. Utilizing the S/S and DOM / TS is not presently feasible. 1. The development of flaws in a trend -...

I think a thorough review of the basics of what is and isn't an FTT is in order. In my attempt to learn to trade SCT, my typical day consists of way too many reversals to keep track of. I believe this is due in large part to my interpretation of what constitutes an FTT and not a Flaw. Yes after...

Using Quotetracker I am having trouble changing the "range" of the tic bar to .25 as has been recommended. When this is attempted the range keeps reverting to simply "2" instead of ".25" any suggestions?

Exactly the point I was so clumsily trying to make in my earlier posts. I focused on "exits" rather than "reverses" and by extension learning how to trade the SCT way. I do use a simulator, but I do not look at my P&L during or after the day. It doesn't matter to me. I don't care at this...

Bearbelly, Thanks for the post. It is not that I am offended by taking profits whether deemed arbitrary or not. What I am getting at has more to do with being able to properly read the market in accordance to the JHM. For me, taking profits at times other than when I feel I have a full...

BB, Thanks for the thoughts. I was wondering if possible; could you post your charts. My points don't match up to yours. I have tried the LTL exit (whether from an FTT or from a Pt3 entry. My dissatisfaction with this is two fold. First by exiting at a quasi arbitrary point I risk missing...

I am not expert on the JHM by any stretch of the imagination. However, it seems to me that the exits are the tricky part. To be fair, not just for this method but for all others as well. I employ different strategies to exit at the most opportune times, but all are imperfect to varying...

On two different occasions I thought I was seeing flaws when in fact I was seeing FTT's. I wonder if anyone else experienced the same issue. The bars in question are the (7-30) ES bars 13:35 and 14:35. The 13:35 seemed to me to have a better claim and flawishness, but they both served to confuse...

Spyder, Can you define ES bars 12:45 thru 12:55 for Friday the 27th. At first I viewed the 12:45 bar as an FTT of an up channel. Once the bar actually closed, the VDU volume lead me to believe it was a flaw (so continue to hold a long position). The following bar (12:50) had price lower...

Very thoughtful post from Pepe...now all we have to do is work on the "?" usage :D

Nkhoi, I believe I know what you are referring to. Someday I hope I have the best looking charts and the prettiest executions this side of the Mississippi. At the present time however, I am singularly focused on turning a chronically losing enterprise into a "profitable" one. If I am...
