OK. I was fairly sure that I had all the parts that had been made available but I thought that I had missed those parts when I saw your list. Actually that would be a great place to start when Jack continues the channels document because missing those two sections leaves IV.F kind of hanging...

Super. Looking forward to it.

I have a hard copy on hand and it has everything you have except: IV.F.c "Going to entering and reversing" IV.F.d "Going to reversing and reversing" It also has the following which you don't have: II.C.e - II.C.i (and j) IV.F.a.ii "Being in the Market" I believe the rest was not...

The weekend is a good time to consider the mental atmosphere of a person which your last few posts do. I like your comment that so much of being in a place to get the job done is clearing the bullshit that sits on the paths to gaining knowledge, skills and experience to do the job. The job is...

So the day ended with a non-beginner BO of the FTP. The level of participation by others just wasn't there to present the lowest risk opportunity for a beginner. The weekend's prep work for Monday is light. It usually is. The obvious place to start is to consider continuation or FBO for...

An hour left on a Friday with the day going into a FTP. Zoom out to the larger context and you see volatility shrinking at the RTL of the ST and FBO/FTT on IT as a pathway. . . . The money-making skill that is always on the table is that of partnering with the market. You are doing your part...

Very cool. It doesn't get any simpler than this--when you know where you are, and you know the possibilities have narrowed for you so that only one remains.

Fridays before a holiday, Fridays during summer, Fridays in general. I feel the end-of-week tendencies are present all the time to various degrees. It doesn't change the monitoring method, of course, but knowing it's a Friday gives me a heads up about the prospect of taking off early. That's...

The double bottom in the PM was a neat aid to the annotations today. Part of the prep for tomorrow is to know that tomorrow is a Friday within the context of a retrace traverse on the ST. We know how today ended and the carryover will be there on our charts at the start of tomorrow along with...

It just looks to me you got a bit jumpy knowing what was happening on the IT and lost sight of where you were operating. Not a big deal, really. You should feel good about the net +2.25. That is the point of spending time in front of the screens. You were not at your best at all times...

A comment regarding the last few posts. Knowing the context is a necessary element of being in a place of anticipation. "Anticipation" is not the vague word that you see confused with "prediction" and debated on ET from time to time. Anticipation is a place of knowing where you are and thus...

As I stated, I don't know your situation. I just went by your posts in this thread. Usually when a person enters on the wrong side of a fast pace trend, that's an indication of an absence of a basic money-making skill. Or it could be you just were not sharp personally at that time. I know it can...

Just an observation from someone who does not know you or see your monitoring setup or how you go about things: Where you are currently, there seems to be no detectable ability to perform at a minimally acceptable level. This is not to say you will forever stay where you are. But continuing...

I operate on the ES because that's what I started with and it really is a smooth place to be. The liquidity is several times what it was when I started, and there is no need to ever hurry. A day is 81 bars. The YM is certainly a good instrument to trade. It wasn't when it just came out, but...

Your current situation is that you stay on the leading market all the time and make your trading decisions there. This is not without problems in the context of what is being done on this thread. The YM is used to get a heads up on the traded market. The 2m offers a look within the trading...

Jack uses $2000 per ES contract. Beginners use 1 contract to start. Using SCT, make 4 pts/day/contract; that's $200/day/contract and $1000/week/contract. Add 1 contract every $2,000, and one gets to 10 contracts in no time. Not everyone has a Jack watching over their shoulder while they...

Learning to make money is best done in stages. Jack has stated this repeatedly, and any person who has had false starts knows the truth of this very well. It is a recognition of another truth that the market behaves differently during different phases or operating points. Demonstrate to...

Lol...yes, and you are eating quite well too. Back when I was daytrading stocks, before decimalization, trading 1000 shares in a liquid stock was the usual. $125 per tick. Partial fills were not uncommon. 10 ES contracts is $125 per tick but doesn't approach any liquidity problems. Things...
