    Ivob, I agree that the exits are the real issue. Pulling the trigger gets all the press, but getting out with a profit is the real tough part. Take the 9:40 bar. I have that as an FTT of a down channel. Whether I entered as soon as I determined it to bean FTT or when the 9:45 bar formed...

    Life is so sweet when I only monitor and annotate. Unfortunately not actually trying to execute the formations I annotate- where my big problem lies- doesn't really get me any closer to trading nirvana. But at the moment, life is much less stressful :)

    You calculate the offset by subtracting the the value of the cash Dow at its close from the value of the YM at the 15:58 bar close. The resulting value may have to be adjusted further in order to achieve a true "zeroing out" of the S/S. There is more detailed information on this process in...

    Spyder, Thanks as usual for taking the time to review and answer questions. The following are my responses / thinking during each issue raised. 1. I keep thinking flaws are a single bar phenomenon. The fact that the 10:30 bar had dec. black lead me to think we were in a retrace to the...

    The following questions and observations regarding todays chart 7-19-07. 1. Why isn't 10:25 ES bar an FTT? 2. Why did Spyder use the 10:40 (Flaw) bar as a Pt1? 3. Isn't the volume too low (relatively speaking) on the 11:20 bar to consider Price formin an FTT in real time? 4. If the...

    I am using Camtaisa to record the daily chart activity. I use two screens, but I can only seem to record one. Does anyone know how I can record both screens using Camtasia?

    The middle of the day was tough even for just annotating and monitoring. I probably go on for quite a while discussing this time period. The other areas that I had difficulty are labeled #1, #2 and #3. #1 Confused me because it seemed we had an Even Harmonic formation that wud continue the up...

    Bundlemaker, In addition to the +2/-2 lines I also have one at zero and +5/-5 so as to have a better point of reference when I glance at the S/S. I want to add additional lines at +3/-3 to capitalize on what Pr0crast posted in regards to TL alerts. I can add as many lines as I want in the...

    I have five horizontal lines on my STR/SQU. I cannot set any more. Does anyone else have this problem as well? I find the available offering of STR/SQU from QT to be of little value as it they have coded it, but it would be nice to maximize whatever benefits it does provide.

    8833, I am not sure exactly what is meant by the "Volume part of the Gaussian", but I do find the statement about sentiment change correct. This doesn't seem to be a rule but it is discussed throughout the Journal and it is my understanding that Volume acting this way does also indicate what...

    Can anyone give insight as to the 14:45 and 14:50 bars on ES. Maybe I have my nose smashed up against the screen so I can't see the big picture, but these two bars have decreasing volume in an operating uptrend. In other words the channel drawn seems to adequately accommodate the Price action...
