No, your advice (as a 5 yr nonprofitable trader) on what NOT to do would definitely be helpful. That would set you apart from the newb starting on his first day.

The fact of the matter comes down to whose advice is more worthy to the original poster. Based on following his posts for many years here and seeing his P&L, I would much rather listen to Lescor than you, someone who admitted to being down last year. There is nothing wrong with taking some...

You betcha you care otherwise you wouldnt have put up this post. Kiwi is right about not listening to you but rather listening to Lescor. He has years of experience and profitability over you. You are still a losing trader at this point in your career. Lescor made close to half a mil last year...

Why even mention what some shmuck on CNBC said? Do you know how wrong these guys usually are? There is some link floating around from Jan/Feb 2000 where these so called experts kept calling for higher and higher markets and everyone had their "rationale". How did that work out for them?

You are correct, no flaws on the forest view. Its just I have heard Jack and others discuss anti-whipsaw and the like and know the concept exists. For now though, in the forest view, we dont concern ourselves. But thanks for the answer anyways :)

The idea of entering on a flaw and being able to come away unscathed or with a minor profit is an intersting concept. I take this to mean that one enters on a flaw, realizes the flaw, and quickly reverses to get back on the right side. Does this mean that, in the process of realizing the flaw...

Doubt you'll find that at all anywhere anymore. Its not worth a prop's resources to finance someone whose odds of success are about 10%. If you want to trade, you're most likely gonna have to suck it up and not make any $$$ for awhile while you learn.

Hi Mak I see what you mean about the failsafe RTL of the non-dom red retrace (in which the R2R occurred). Unfortunately, I dont see how we have the thick green up channel fully annotated at this time as it hasnt formed. Am I incorrect here? I only see pt 3 of the channel formed after the 9:58...

I see that you projected the YM higher based on your up channel but that R2R Gaussian is confusing to me and you saying the the color mechanism can sometimes be lopsided makes me nervous that it cannot be trusted. The YM could just have easily busted through the RTL and then it would seem the...

Did we get a R2R on the YM from 9:48 to 9:52, telegraphing a reversal which did not happen? Am I interpreting the Gaussian incorrectly?

Thanks for your answer, I had the 10:05 as FTT also, annotated probably a little later than you (I am still very new to this). The fact that the red volume is less on the 10:05 bar than the 10:00 bar also may have helped determine FTT?

Spyder, How are you able to annotate both the ES and YM in realtime and also trade actively? Your ES is so detailed, it looks as if this alone takes all of your time :)

Bundle, Which bar do you consider the FTT, 10:05 or 10:10, and why? Thanks.

By the time we see that volume is greater at 10:15, price has already broken out from the right trend line though.

Spy, Why is this significant, chart wise (what is circled)?

PrOcrast, this is my post from a little earlier.

Like I said, I'm not asking for "proof" but rather just a comment by Mak or Spy after a trading session. I think it might inspire some guys. Nothing wrong with providing inspiration Nkhoi, would you agree?

I appreciate very much what Spy and Mak are trying to do here. I know and understand how annoying it must be when people constantly ask for documentation to see your daily figures and then bash when they dont get what they want. What would be nice to see is if Mak and Spy could, when they...

Stay away from these small prop firms, they cant be trusted. Even if they do turn out to be reputable, you are much better off at an Assent, or Echo type place. An established track record is important in this shady as hell business.

Dontcha mean "thehangingman" as he now calls himself.
