Pepe (my Portuguese brother :D), First it is very nice to see you back and contributing to the journal. I believe we all benefit from your thoughtful questions and comments. (As a side note; they help offset my usually dimwitted post :D :D). This quote is really the focus of my efforts...

Unfortunately I committed this exact same error (except my channel was purple so there was a little difference there:D). I have since recognized the errors of my ways, but at the time I viewed the decreasing black of the 10:30 ES bar as well as the 10:36 bar on the YM closing below the RTL as...

I guess it's our diversity that makes us stronger :p

Its the interpretation of the turning points that is the problem here. Not fearing a turning point.

Three cheers for Guava :D :D :D

(2) RTL (3) VE (4) ES Formation (5) ES Forming a Formation (6) ES lateral and the champion is... (7) ES Forming a lateral :D

This is going to be one of those days where I keep trading against the trend. These are always very pleasant experiences :D

It took me a while...okay a very long while to grasp the idea the following: #1 change may or may not apply to my resolution. #2 change doesn't necessarily mean a significant change in direction. Sometimes change is just a different type of price movement i.e. a lateral. Just simple...

Here's the rub isn't it. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. Oh and by the way, each day the best way to take money out of the market is different :eek: There are reasons so few traders make it to the other side. This is just one of them.

Spyder, could you clarify this statement for me. Something seems amiss. My apologies for being obtuse :p

I appreciate the fact that those who will be attending the Expo are making the effort and assuming the cost to do so. For those of use who will not be able to attend, I would be very appreciative of any :ah ha" moments or points of clarification that were made when trading with Spyder that might...

Man this sounds familiar :D :D

Clearly one of the toughest days to trade today. Brutal just brutal.

too choppy for me today. Guava is going to limp away humbled and dismayed :( , but not broken.

the chart may help a bit :D

Per Callmate's request here is my chart, I redrew the TL's (only the basics as you can see) but I imposed my trades on it. Each trade has it's own color arrows so for example; the short entry at 10:02 and its superlative exit at 10:05 are both in yellow. FWIW :p -guava

I've never been up multiple points and then down multiple points in the same trade as I have today :confused::confused: :confused:

As the journals will show I am reticent to dispense advice, for good reason; others are far more qualified than I to attempt this. With that said, in my opinion, you need to focus on Gaussians to have them better reflect to price action inside the channel to better assist you in "seeing" the...

My long lost mental twin :D :D: :D

Ivob, I agree that PT3 are generally more difficult to trade than FTT's. Truth be told, my shift to enter on PT3 wasn't really an intentional one. It just kind of happened. I thought PT3 were a safer entry for me because all the bars I interpreted as FTT's weren't. If you look hard enough...
