on that chart, blue = long, red = short, white = exit 5 winners, 4 losers, got it transposed.

Having whacked my account by 30% trying to trade ES with the SOMP method, I remembered a chat session with a YM trader (Dauphine something-or-other?) and decided to try something new. My ES problems were entirely typical: hesitation and overtrading. Not that those will magically go away...

I think he means that if you have strict technical requirements for a bb breakout (see bollinger on bollinger bands for specifications), you can compute the close of this bar necessary for the breakout to meet the spec. IOW, it's a way to do MTF analysis intra-bar (heading down a timeframe...

Actually, the first round of stories that came out about the sep-11-related trades linked it to the CIA (exec. dir. AB Krongard). http://www.hereinreality.com/insidertrading.html I think if the truth ever came out, we'd find that several different parties had foreknowledge. I mean...

Remind me, what was ill-conceived about this? It certainly was convenient (not that my vote ever mattered in texas, but that's a different story) Well, sort of. The acceptance of the matricula as financial id is a result of lobbying efforts on the part of local law enforcement agencies...

I moved to LCD's just for that reason. The difference for me was profound and immediate. The temperature difference was also noticeable. I will never ever buy another crt.

It's an application that runs on your pc. I've been playing with it for a couple of years now-- I've generated a few models that were profitable, but not tradeable (for me). The people who have done really well with it knew how to trade already, and neuroshell took them to the next...

I just gave up my 100k job (and a fiancee, and an expensive uptown apt, and the rest of my bourgeious yuppie lifestyle (selling the bimmer after I get back from snowboarding in Chile). I'm going back to school (was offered a research assistanceship in the finance dept of a small university...

I've had a lot of days like this recently. :( I've retreated to rockets only, after trying to push myself too fast into intermediate trades. I got short on that rocket @ 998, exited 30 min later with a wash, too wigged to bother with reversing (although it would have been a good idea)...

These days, its easier just to make friends with someone who works provisioning (or the switches themselves) for an ixc. I had a friend who experimented with casual billing codes (1010xxx) in the 80's and found a couple that never showed up. Of course, he had white vans with many antennas...

15:00 long rocket 990.25 failed to obey the vdu (15:05). failed to recognize my mistake until it was too late-- chased down to c&r at 987.25 (-3 pt, 15:14) ...which was of course one tick off the bottom.. ...after being mesmerized by my royal screwup (getting worse by the second)...

Building a jurik'd macd can be pretty cool too.

Wow! That's what I call elegance.

9:45 short rocket, waited for synch 980.75 9:55 rocket failure (stoch) C&R @ 981.50 (-.75) (I noticed later that this was also a failure to traverse). 9:59 chicken, plain and simple. wash @981.50 (0) 10:25 stochs cross 50, downtrend failure nearly confirmed, macd over .4 long...

Yeah, I noticed that last night. Judging from the size of bids and asks that jumped into the picture yesterday, the tighter channel from 8/7 was important too. I quit for the day before seeing the bounce. regards, laz

I took the same trade at 15:06, poor execution on my part and I chased down to 983.25. I did't cop to the failure to traverse, but picked up the rocket and violation of the 30m trendline from the 7th. covered @ 981.25, +2. +2.75 for the day. Although I missed the KISS big picture...

10:53 short rocket @ 985 (anticipated) 11:02 eyeing macd xover 1m, but signal line is far out, wait to see if it reverses 11:06 getting nervous 11:11 cant figure out what's next, declining vol, time to exit.. cover @ 984 (+1) --laz

9:44 macd -.5, waiting for stoch 9:50 stochs xunder 50 convincingly, Short @ 988.00 stochs get scary while forming pt 3, but think the 'crowd' is in reversal mode, will wait. no new stops @ 10:30, remember reading that if you can't write down new stops, get out as the mkt doesn't know...

Thanks! I read your post in the 'mental ceilings' thread about the similarities of coordinate systems (I think of this (transition between states) in terms of n-space vectors) for both FA and TA and matrices thereof. Blew my lid, and enhanced my understanding of this thread. I'm starting...

I am going through the expensive process of 'proving' to myself that nothing interesting happens when 5min vol avg is well under 9k. :( However, I caught all of the afternoon iceberg (after a momentary exit due to the volume over 20k, which has been a strong reversal signal over the past...
