    I am getting my butt handed to me on a daily basis!

    You have discovered something already. In the present bars are the only thing forming. Two bars form. One for price and one for volume. Each is in a context. The independent variable, volume, has a bar that is constructedwith two parts: one is advancing in the dominant and the other...

    I am getting my butt handed to me on a daily basis!

    One of the great things about channels is that they overlap. A new channel always begins within an older channel. Channels form trading cycles as opposite overlaping pairs. The basic tennant of channels that MUST be followed is that getting the RTL straight is the beginning of doing proper...

    I am getting my butt handed to me on a daily basis!

    Okay I have nswered the Q's in the space by going to where you are. A lot of readers will be departing as recommended by a person who has completed his vision of the first 5 steps of ACD. also there ar other channel threads. As pointed out this is a lesser version of just my system of...

    What is Not an edge?

    Harris agrees with you and recognizes this. The SEC cannot (or will not) handle this in their analysis of those they monitor. Brooks contributes to laying the foundation with bar-by-bar. Recently someone notices "you start something and do not finish it...." He is seeing a leading...

    If You Trade One Instrument Only, How Do You Deal With This?

    I use three systems. I do this for one reason: money vleocity considerations. One algorithm underlies the three systems. So I use one algorithm only. The algorithm IS complete. I do not have any down time. Markets offer; I take the full offer. What you write lacks rationality...

    What is Not an edge?

    A venn diagram can be used to answer this question. Personally I do not create or use edges; BUT what I do is effective and efficient in terms of making money. Most would consider what I do describes an edge to some extent. So there is a kind of overlap. I partner with the market to...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    For me there is a system of operation of the markets. Embodied in the system are "rules" in a mathematical form. This system is easily learned and can be operated from memory. For most people, there is only chance and risk. They also enjoy fear and greed. That is your world; it is NOT my...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    We dissagree. I certainly do not worry about it. I suggested that how the market works can be deduced. As I accomplished this, I found that there were relatively few parts. As it turns out the part have an order of appearance as part of the variable system and as part of the trend...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    I don't know anything about other traders. All I have is a complete system of operation of markets. Every aspect is taken into acount in a small finite system. Bar by bar is how markets are monitored and analyzed. Lookup RDBMS. Are you watching other people? What makes you think...

    waking up in the morning

    I have used three versions of machines for sleep apnea. The sleep test is well worth it. It takes an hour to hook up big cable. I have 17 times where I stopped breathing for over three minutes. About 78 times less than three minutes. I did notice I wasn't sleeping at night but didn't...

    Why Do People Trade?

    I agree..... Our family gave up dairy farming in lower NY state and moved up to Cherry Valley, New York (Glensfoot Farm). The farm was just north of wall street and went up to Beekman Terrace on the East Side. Today the land is leased and has buildings covering it (in finacial district)...

    I am getting my butt handed to me on a daily basis!

    I will get to work on the channel system I use this weekend. I have explained it before so I will dig it out and attach segments that fit into ET and are old Word type docs. The 30 min does have one channel fully annotated today. Annotations were done and the market proceeded.

    I am getting my butt handed to me on a daily basis!

    This attachment will begin to help you. The open tomorrow is short (non dominant in a long trend AFTER the FTT of the trend. Clean page 4 applies on this odd move 7. Bar 81 was a PP2 so the new trend P1 is yet to be assigned. On the 30 minute I show 7 moves in a long trend (thick...

    Edge

    I read it and I replied with this: Nailing is important to do. I Nail using a complete system of the market's operation. You are an advanced beginner lets assume. Your group of potential traders could think about doing what you wrote in your post above. I do not buy at the bottom or...

    What fundamentals have you found most useful in stock selection?

    I begin with all US stocks (about 15,000). Since I want quality (this means reliable by public standards) I use RS and EPS. Nominally the top 20% (80th percentile and up) provide this. The float is to give me volatility in price. Too manny shares outstanding and the market has no...
