So with respect to the apparent association between pace (= money velocity = the rate of change of price) and harmonic wave form are there "real market" situations where a sufficient pace can convert a triangular wave form into a square wave form or is it that a triangular wave form by its very...

Yes. Thank you Wallace. Here's a freebie from "Barron's" which might be useful. You sometimes need to click "Todays' Calendar" to get the current week. http://online.barrons.com/public/page/barrons_econoday.html lj

The thought occurred to me that perhaps I sounded a bit (or possibly a lot) pompous with my last post (or so) concerning negativity and punishment but let me assure anyone who might be thinking so, that such is not so. I have been through the “punishment” thing as a trader (it’s...

I agree BR that overtrading is the bane of many beginners' experience but equally important in this "fiscal regard" is undercapitalization. Your account must be able to take some hits as you learn to trade for real. Jack (and others) have said the main reason for beginners getting blown...

I don't follow the logic here, When one trades "at the market" one always "pays" the spread - 1 tick in and 1 tick out. However, so far as I am aware, this will not show up as a loss of $25.00 in your trading account. To treat it as a loss, as opposed to a "gain which can never be realized...

Spyder, A ?. HVS is an even harmonic whether or not it's in a lateral formation. Correct or no? A second ?. Is it your take that "across" an HVS, volume, aside from alternating in direction (which is a requirement), always decreases? TIA lj

WGTrader, Have you ceased posting the ESH8 30 min Volume/Volatility stuff? I thought it was very interesting, FWIW. There is an old Bollinger Band dictum that says if the volatility is the lowest for a certain period of time, on a certain time frame, then expect a blowout, one way or the...

Heeee's back. I wasn't going to post today because the way I post is time consuming (and yes, I know, boring) BUT I had a moment of bright, shining light that I feel obliged to chare (you got to chare, mang) with you all. It has to do with the dreaded IF1,2/APA. As usual when you reread...

That's really disgusting (not!!) cnms2. High 5 (or high 3 if you have an ulnar nerve palsy from leaning on your left elbow, chin in hand, while you ruffle through the bills with your right hand). lj

Actually I'm Jack's Dopplegänger and while he's away frolicking with the Emperor penguins, I'm here fomenting discontent and spreading confusion about his post on callmate's new thread. For a yuk check out this site: http://www.spinner.com/category/celebrity-doppleganger/ lj

Here's the post from 1-04-08 p.4 (where else): As we all know there is the MODE of the market and largely the MODE is Continue where we hold and make money continually. A major logging activity is looking at the price come to the R or S and what follows after that. These times, from the...

I'm trying to find Jack's quote re FBP's and FTP's and will post it when I do. In the meantime, in both instances, the tape was breached laterally. lj

A daily ESH8 beautifully demonstrating the Jacobian rule that: "an FTT is an FTT is an FTT". Additionally there is a nifty (and perfect) adjacent bar odd harmonic DT. lj

But it is a sym pennant not a FBP or FTP. lj

OOOpppsss!!! (After waiting the required 60 seconds). lj

YMH8, demonstrating, amongst other things how FBP's and FTP's ONLY occur on non-doms. The dark blue lines are prior day H/L; the light blue lines are overnight H/L. Anyone who doesn't have these on a chart or written down somewhere, puts them selves at a huge disadvantage every day. They...

We all arrive on Jack's doorstep with different stories, as in life experiences, and different stories, as in trading experience. To answer J. M. Hendrix's query: I am experienced. But of course you don't know that (how could you?). I do appreciate that there is some aspect of "How do I...

Should have something to say re STR-SQU in the next couple o' days. In the meantime this AM what I have for offset considerations is as follows: YMH8: 3:58 PM Close* = 12631; "Spyder" Offset (* - $) = 42 YMH8: CBOT Close = 12651; Indexarb FV = 46 Readjust offset to 48 ~ 10:15 Unless...

Thanks for the info nkhoi. I'm one of those detail freaks but just in the sense that I like to know what's what and not in the sense of trying to find fault or mistakes or whatever. So be it. It's 14,1,3 and on we go. It's totally cool to have him back laying it down one more time. Truly a...

To anyone who might know: On page 5 Jack states: I set the duration of the slow STOCH and the MACD to not bridge the Price /Volume cycle of the fractal. The 13 worked for the standard STOCH and I felt the MACD was bridging at the design default of 26. By using 13 in both, I feel that there...
