Thanks for the response. I took some time to consider how I could reply that might prove helpful to you and I was stumped. I'm limiting my comments to just a couple of observations and expressing my opinions based on my experience. First, I reviewed the beginning of your posting history...

Have you been trading live and haven't been getting results or not trading yet and not feeling ready to trade?

Had a feeling it would get purged.

Muchas gracias amigos.

Any way to get a larger view of that pic?

Those are the secrets of the SOES bandits. Did you bump your head in '99 and just wake up?

I see where you are coming from. My take is a simplified form of yours. On the 5m bars, 2 bars start off a tape. This is always a traverse of a larger channel (red channel) formed by additional traverses. We both know that a tape comes in a usual place within that larger channel: it is...

On 5m bars: Q: What is the minimum number of bars needed to draw 2 parallel lines (points 1,2,3)? A: 2. Two bars give 4 end points. You use 3 of them to get the lines. There are exceptions to this, which everyone here knows. When you draw the lines off 2 5m bars, you can bet your...

Which fractal do you trade? For me, there are only 2 degrees of trend (fractals) in those 2 examples: red channel and its traverses, notwithstanding the fact that the pink channel in the first example has clear traverses within it. Such occurs in strong trends and often lead to channel...

I take your query to be: What can constitute a point 1? This seems to me a simple question, and a very key question because point 1 is the name we've given to the beginning of a period of extraction. Off the top of my head, I can think of 8 moments that can constitute a point 1. I'm not...

Read Jack's prior posts on wash trades. You should find quite a few of them. My fav is the "Crow's Nest" post. It's not going out on a limb to say that every struggling trader here lacks the wash trade skill. You can tell from the comments that it will sometimes require a big shift in...

I hesitate to interject here, as transference is a slippery fish, and Spydertrader is to be commended for his efforts. However: Washing is a skill. In my book, it is skill number one. If you are unsure about its importance now, it will become apparent to you as you begin to add contracts.

I've thought about your request and I'm going to decline at this time primarily for the reason that this is an area I've yet to grasp to the extent I can organize my thoughts to relay to another in a helpful way. I will say that you won't miss out on much. Currently I use only the DOM (inside...

You read it correctly. The trade blotter is from IB. Looks clear to me. Is this SCT? If it is, maybe a one-armed version of it. I'm like the basketball player who has yet to teach himself how to dribble with either hand. So I'm constantly driving right, right, right. Luckily the market plays no...

Pacific time zone. Ignore pre-market wash. First hour of trading. Range was 15 pts.

I would appreciate knowing the latest word regarding the deleted posts. Quite a few of the threads that I had subscribed to, and which I had been using to build a training program, are no longer available. I'm attaching a couple of old screenshots of subscribed threads in the hope that...

Play less, study more. Only a fish would believe you can get good (2000+ elo) by just playing more games or stronger players.

Thanks for the post.
