I have never seen anything like this. I did ok but percentage wise it wasnt that much. Did any of you make a killing today? Curious how the method does on a day like today. There were times that YM was moving 30-40 ticks in a few seconds. I dont know how to trade that kind of stuff.

I was watching the futures and there was no gap there. I notice when YM was around -400 that cnbc was quoting dow around 250 and wondered what was going on then they suddenly caught up.

Wish I had been in the room today. I bet it was interesting. How did you guys do?

i had to turn off my tick charts. they were making me dizzy

^^^^^^ You have WAY too much time on your hands.

I have not been up to snuff on the gaussians. I will bear down on them.

ivob YM was definitely leading the way this morning. Down from the second bar on. ES tried to protest but finally gave in.

One thing for sure. There is nothing better than price, trendlines and volume. Everything else lags. Jack is partly responsible for me still experimenting with indicators, most recent example when he told someone on the SPM thread that you could simply reverse on the zeroline crosses of the...

Why did you exit?

If I remember right when I first started playing with this I used to get the unable to connect thing and after cliking no it would eventually start. After awhile it did not appear any more. Dont know why this happens. However it does not use much resources on mine so something else must be wrong.

I hope I get to where you are one of these days. My concern is that reversing and washes take practice and I would think you would have to be fairly proficient at these to start entering on ftts and practice can be costly if youre not a quick study. I do wait for a point three which I have found...

Entering on an ftt is not much different from entering on a break of bar 4. Both of these entries have a high probability of failing which, to me, is not the best scenerio for a new trader. Sooner or later we have to start trading and what I would like to know is what is the safest entry, the...

Nice job on that condensation Pro!

Can we talk about initial entries? I know Jack says to enter on bar 4 and that Spyder says he does not wait for bar 4. I wait for a point three before my first entry but this often leaves quite a bit on the table but entering on bar 4 did not work too well for me. How are you guys taking the...

Depends on who your playing with.

I do think poker is analogous to trading in many ways but what I like about poker is you have someone to cuss out when things go wrong.

I dont know the percentages but I always put the pivot on my charts in the morning. Many days it is of no use but occasionally you will find the pp heavily defended. Nothing works every day.

I dont think Mak's original IB PRV excel link ever got posted so here it is: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=54894&perpage=6&highlight=question%20for%20grob&pagenumber=417

I consider this part of the glossary so I see no harm in becoming familiar with it. Thanks for your take. I was not considering the different formations but I guess they are leading indicators.

I think there are large traders who play market maker at certain times of the day sitting on both sides with large size.
