I'm a New Yorker so my skin is pretty tough. The post was 100% serious. Nothing sarcastic whatsoever. There is a reason why edges are called edges. I use comp sci edges (ie. graph theory) for my directed graphs that consititute my regular expressions. It is all besides the point. The problem...

This is for you and the hundred others who continually PM me looking for things. I suspect they won't like this pic but at the very simplest of terms, here's a Prof like execution. I could be very explicit but that would be self defeating on your part. You need to see these things in action in...

Flat-lines occur for one reason and one-reason only Ans. Volume (lack of)

Limited view here. It is always evident when individuals fail to think open-mindedly. Consider the following example. GOOG Pre-IPO dutch auction of shares $85+. Someone in on Pre-IPO and selling at IPO loses NOTHING since it opened >$85. Trader A acquires GOOG @ IPO value $95 for hypothetical...

It is evident that you are edge oriented. That is always a flaw to begin with and evidently, difficult to mentally get out of. Our trading exploits cycles, not edges. Can you differentiate the two?

Had to really hustle today to rack up the C->C this AM. Just found out today is green$pan. 2:15 pm, bracket and put your trendlines to work starting at 2:15... Primo PM to see clean trendlines at work. Prepare to act.

Hmmm.... Interesting thoughts. Albeit, I am somewhat biased because it is a single post that Proflogic put up somewhere in ET that was the killer eye opener to anything that is a market. It is truly a killer and permanently put me in never lose territory even in the worst of worst days. I can...

You saw the Greenspan a few weeks back? Still not convinced? This is all OT. I will refrain out of respect for the thread initiator. My apologies for addressing Special Team B...

EXCELLENCE! It's there, it really is! Dig deep and start monitoring/analysizing/deciding/act timely. Kindest Regards, G33M4K Type A (non-BEginner) Today's Results 1 ES Contract +11.75 pts (fully automated) context free unfortunately w.r.t. volume - will nail soon

DOUBT Your preconception is limiting as to what I do. That is ok because we all have different mentalities and thus it is important that you convince yourself of that which you will find to be effective. It is evident that we are very different in our approach. My stop is precisely a C&R...

A few final comments. I both forward and backward test with ticks nonetheless. No indicators, no equations, just market points. R-ratios??? losers??? 1 ES +20.75 1 YM +489 GOOG +$7.90/share ??? My broker luvs the comm fees since I wash & reverse frequently but it has failed to kill...

I'll respond to this loosely with a Q since this type of whipsaw on a "fast" fractal is alot more frequent than on a daily. Why wouldn't there be a stop a tick below your entrance if one weren't monitoring? That would be an automated wash. The next day, an attempt to reenter, if same scenario...

Allright Nwb... I like your attitude and especially your work ethic. I've been where you are prob around 10 months ago (Sept 04). I've come a tremendously long way (21 fully automated pts today in ES on 1 contract even amidst the 4 point gap loss because of today's Globex nonsense). I too am...

EXCELLENT. I luv this boiling down to fundamentals concepts/illustrations. It's what enables one to really think for themselves and seek their own answers... So basically, a single forex transactions boils down to 2 people. On one side, someone is agreeing to directly exchange x amount of a...

EXCELLENT! This will be both interesting and positive. I hope to learn two things from this journal and your efforts. 1. How to begin my own journal for beginners and non beginners for the markets in general and 2. understand currency pairs and how it behaves as a market entity. I appreciate...

My current dayjob is entirely in this market (CDS, CDOs). It is the companies primary and sole business. However, I've never been able to associate futures (which I trade privately) with CDS. I understand a tremendous amount about CDS and the CDS market is highly dependent on news and rating...

Have you considered trading your stop as a reverse? I think that if you really conisidered this you may find out something rather interesting. If not, disregard... +50 +50 -comm

I like quizzes?!!! Are some of these trick Q's? irrelevant. Well, somewhat irrelevant (illiquidity is only a minor nuissance) you can always start with now. Orientation is then immediately corrected continually. Look??? Trends are recognizable immediately and with respect to your entrance...

I refuse to entertain...

Probably a limited thought reasoning. My backtest which is/would be a waste of time means nothing and should convince you likewise. I have done the coding down to the tick. Trendlines are fabulous when thought and recognized from what I believe to be an enabling perspective. They absolutely work...
