Icky. I, like Jack, repeat myself endlessly. I adjust the one minute time scale so that the whole day will fill the screen at the session's end. I slide the open over to the left side to try to achieve precognition of how the day will flow, with special attention to where price is relative to...

Just a suugestion, Moz. Intraday trendlines are one helluva lot cleaner and easier to draw in a one minute chart. IMO promoting five minute is one of the disservices Jack does.

He can't. He has to know what I am saying about him. Besides, I am a cockroach. I'd just use another name, like Kokomo Bogart. The only reason he recognizes me is that I use my Merchant puppet most of the time.

Very admirable. What I do is help companies get business in the billions so they can employ people for projects lasting years who can then save money so they can retire comfortably and won't have to worry about needing Medicare. I like my way better. And don't talk to me about wealth...

My real name is much more common than that. Something like John Robert Smith.

Easy. I can relate. To your Jack yearning. And to the boredom of edge trading. That's why I drink when I trade. The other solution is to find more edges. I have about ten, which is more than enought to keep me awake in the stark terror of a live trade. And I will repeat. I view Jack's method as...

Icky. I shall re-repeat. I post where Jack posts because his descriptions of his intraday method lack rigor. If it is a "method" as opposed to being purely discretionary, then it can be described explicitly in the prose equivalent of an algorithm. For example, I described a profitable tick fuck...

Oddie. Nice try. I have more credit cards than I have aliases, with nearly as many name variations: John Merchant J. Merchant John Xavier Merchant J.X. Merchant Xavier Merchant John X. Merchant J. Xavier Merchant

"B people live in a different world than those who make a lot of money." Uh, Jack. If B people aren't making money, they must still be working. If they're still working they must not be rich. So why are you giving seminars, A-man? And, uh, don't confuse B-Team membership with not-rich-ness...

Jack. I really don't think we are as far apart intellectually as you think. For example, we both have a fine appreciation for NLP. You will recall that Bandler and Grinder began with research on experts whose performance was so impressive as to be magical. They learned how to extract explicit...

Easy and Pas d'Absurtides. I am here doing my mentor a big favor. I am going to prove definitively that his intraday method is so brilliantly complex that it is untestable, and therefore remove my old carcass from his back. This is not a criticism. My own methods match that encomium. To wit, the...

BSAM. As you may recall, I am overly fond of reciting apropos lyrics: "You're not the Lawd! You're nothing but a fraud!" (Tim Rice)

Jack. Thank you. I misinterpreted: "Why? Because you are looking for the first entry of the day TO MAKE MONEYFRO THE WHOLE REST OF THE DAY." to mean that you were poised to take action based solely on those two bars. You must admit that what you wrote first is not nearly as clear as...

Wow. Would have been a lot less effort just to answer the simple question. You made a statement which is eminently testable, to wit, that a trendline formed from the first two five minute bars of the morning persists.

"Note when bar 2 reaches a price limit out side of bar 1." Jack. A very concise algorithmic description. But the "reaches a price limit" bit is ambiguous to my reading as to whether bar 2 must be complete or not before you draw that channel. Mike.

I believe that this thread exemplifies the distinction between what the philosopher Michael Polanyi called "tacit" and "explicit" knowledge. By that I mean that some posters here confuse the two. Perhaps even Jack.

OK, 'splain to me how lunacy affects the oil market, which was a strong driver of equities (maybe).

Funny you should mention that. I was so stupid thirty years ago that I actually did a lot of Fourier Transform work to find those planetary influences. Didn't find anything, but learnt tons about how to twist transforms to get something from nothing. Shudda writ a Pesavento-type book. Or become...

Do I smell a Lao-Tzu companion to the book "Sun-Tzu: The Art of War Applied to Trading" a-brewing? If what's-his-name could spin a book out of nothing, so can you.

Mike. The real test of your number crunching is to know when price is going up only to go right back down immediately, as in a volume blowoff, a floor rotation, or a "false" breakout. Mathematical analogies to physical systems can't do that because they don't admit infinite amplitude...
