    To what extent do you use indicators?

    Well, if that is what you wish to believe, that's OK too. What it sounds like is that you subscribe to random walk. Market turns are random. Market direction is not. Indicators, properly set, separate direction from noise. Best Regards Oddi

    To what extent do you use indicators?

    I rarely post anymore, but this is relevant. I use one indicator. Avg True Range. Markets move a certain rate. Traders lose because they cannot pinpoint the speed of a market. People short into a raging bull market, because they "think" that it is overbought. There is no such thing...

    Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Futures Trading Journal

    I am sorry for that Bearbelly. I am truly a lousy teacher and I always make the erroneous assumption that I am talking to a mirror of myself, instead of to another person. It was proof to me based on all the reading and trading I have done, although I have never traded this particular...

    Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Futures Trading Journal

    At approximately the 1:30 mark in the video Jack discusses this amazing phenomenon. Later he discusses the STR/ SQU phenomenon. This video proves that SCT is quite real and can be done with due diligence. The development of sports memory and this information will definitely do the...

    Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Futures Trading Journal

    Spyder, It is year four for me with Hershey. His methods have transformed my trading entirely. The Camtasia of 8/24/06 is a very important video. It shows the YM leading the ES very clearly, as well as many other things. Thank You for having the fortitude to do this for the third year...

    Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Equities Journal II

    Spyder, The link to the excel spreadsheet that Jack uses in the 24Aug2006 Camtasia is not on the last page of Journal One. The link I found to foibles Java jar file is apparently broken. I do not need the online WealthLab links. Can someone please help? Best Regards Oddi

    The Bond Market

    Okay, since we are buried in snow here in the midwest, I have been able to learn that as yields go up, bond prices go down. It also looks like you trade bonds in a futures mode. It looks like the march contract, ZN something or another is the dominant contract. WHERE can I get the...

    trend following delusion shattered

    trend following delusion shattered

    For the ES, the last time I checked, I use one four day/ bar chart and one two day/ bar chart. Teleb is right, the markets are random in that no one knows when they will turn, but buyers and sellers buy and sell for very specific reasons, this makes the markets non-random. Trends can be...

    trend following delusion shattered

    If I could, I would. But then I would have use the combined methods of my three greatest mentors to get to the point. The best I can do is say the price will theoretically move a certain distance within a certain amount of time. Calibrate your chart to this and the noise gets taken out...

    trend following delusion shattered

    Surf, I have been doing some work correlating price to time. If you find the correct frame of time, it will remove the noise and the trend becomes visible. You can use a smaller timeframe to trade the now visible trend. To borrow the words of another great trader, price will continue to...

    possible double top?

    I am concerned about the dynamics of this challenge to the all time high of the Dow. The SPX and NQ were both higher previously, and gold was lower. Is this a double top? Is it time to short heavily? Best Regards Oddi

    Why learning to trade from Jack is so difficult

    This is why Jack is doing his job. Korpela's First Corollary: If nobody barks at you, your message did not get through Lack of negative feedback is often presented as indicating that communication was successful. Au contraire, it really means you failed miserably. Since communication...

    Why learning to trade from Jack is so difficult

    This is one corrolary that specifically applies to traders. 2 If a message can be interpreted in several ways, it will be interpreted in a manner that maximizes the damage This Murphyistic remark is a warning about the very real possibility that ambiguities will be resolved in just the way...

    Why learning to trade from Jack is so difficult

    Communication usually fails, except by accident. http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/wiio.html This is an attempt to bring traders to the table for constructive dialog on how to better transmit and recieve ideas if it is possible. Best Regards Oddi
