Anyone have a copy of the following reports for some weekend reading? IF1,IF2 report Strategy Report Staying the Right Side of Market report (APA trading) Referenced in the Seamless Continuous Trading (SCT) report. Thanks

sent you a pm.

ljyoung, Just a suggestion. Could you post your question and attach the image directly rather than embedding the image in a word document. It would make it a lot easier for everyone reading journal to read your postings.

Shall we say a carbon copy LOL

ES & YM until upto 10:55am

Spyder, At anytime during the 9:45 bar, did you consider the bar to have possibly given you the point 3 (snip from Gooch's chart) before you saw the pennant form on the next couple of bars? That is should someone trading point 3s consider that a valid point 3 entry? If you did not...

ES Chart for the day EDIT: there is a blue FBO text around 12noon. Ignore it as I keep text labels to copy and paste and forgot to move it.

I have never used IF1/IF2 before and I decided to try it out to understand how it is supposed to function. Basic summary is do IF1/IF2 on 5 min bars and when a trade is taken do APA (IF1/IF2 on the 1 min until end of 5 min bar) This is not a suggestion to anyone to use IF1/IF2 as the way...

I replayed the day again and tried out IF1/IF2 with APA. Stopped at bar 18. First trade was on break of first bar, after each trade went into APA mode until end of 5 min bar. PointOne, is this similar to what you have been doing? BarId 2: short 1519 (IF2) APA mode, reversals @...

Yeah that is how I currently treat bars like that - as part of the retrace due to the lower volume. However, sometimes the price bar keeps going down or a surge of volume comes in to continue in the dominant direction. I was trying to see if others interpreted in a different way. If...

Spyder, In the attached snip, how would you consider the last bar? Would it be making up the retrace of the retrace (ie the retrace back to the orange RTL) or would you consider it as the resumption of the move in the dominant direction? In terms of what must come next after a FTT, we...

YM until lunch

Annotated until lunch. Afterwards, I away until the last hour.

Here is mine

That was just for me to compare friday's charts with others. I am sure folks would be interested in comparing their YM charts with others.

3 wins, 4 loses. My trades for the day. For some reason I kept anticipating a move in the opposite direction of the big moves and missed them all together. See the trades in the purple box, they never moved significantly in my favor. The reason for asking for some YM charts to compare my...

Could a few folks please post their annotated YM charts at the EOD. Thanks

This is a snippet from today's YM. I am curious as to how you would annotate the channels. I have done it two ways: - first one is a fanned channel since the BO was not on increasing volume and the next bar seems to touch the original channel (creating a FBO) - second one is an up...

In both cases I noted where the wall was and decided to take the loss and exit only if the wall was breached. I haven't really thought out about what I want to do with my exits yet. I am leaning towards taking profits early when I start trading live. In the first trade it looked like...

Attached are my two trades (sim) for the day. My current goal is to try and stop being too early to the party. I have circled how much price moved against me before eventually doing what was anticipated. I did not pull the trigger on the third trade at the 2:45/2:50 bar (short). After...
