    Bundle, I don't see that you marked a HVS near your trade so I assume you are referring to the HVS at 11:00am. That HVS was 45mins ago, not sure how you assume that is going to influence your trade at 11:45am. Aren't you predicting here? What happened on a previous day at a particular time...

    Software Used to Trade Jack Hershey Methods

    What software are folks using to place trades with IB? I currently use BracketTrader DOM ladder, however it shows what the current profit and loss is for the trade and is a bit of a distraction from the MADA process. I looked at TWS book trader. A few issues that pop up right a way...

    The reason I try to go for pt 3's is because I am not good at catching the FTT's, often times it feels like standing in front of a moving train :(. Regrading the first trade, I have considered a scenario of waiting for the tape retrace to form the pt 3. However given the volatility we've had...

    Spyder I noticed you labeled Formation FBO's in today's chart. Wouldn't you consider the 10:25 bar as a formation FBO as well? The reason I am posting this snip is due to the trip up I had while waiting for the pt 3 to form today. I have a couple of these every day and I am really trying...

    Spyder I would appreciate if you would tell me how I can avoid this kind of scenarios. This it basically my first two trades I did on Friday and what happened basically influenced my trading for the rest of the day. That is I became too concerned with trading traverse and retrace to avoid...

    Hey Spy, I know you have previously mentioned you watch the YM for formations as well, I was wondering if you consider YM formations equally as important as the formations on the ES? The reason I ask is that there are lot more formations on the YM giving more opportunities for one to...

    One needs to look at price as well to gauge the gaussians because you cannot just use the color your charting software used to color the volume bars (spike bars etc) But looking at the chart, I am going bearish the last gaussians is \/\/

    Hey Ivo, I created this goal for myself to really access if I can can apply everything we have studied through the past year. This way I review my actions at the end of the day and see where I went wrong and what needs to be improved. I am using a SIM account to do this. When I use real...

    Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Futures Trading Journal

    Hey Tums, I am not sure if you posted this in response to my comments about trying to be in all the time. But one cannot always stay without doing a reversal. What about a scenario at the coarse level where one is trading pt 3 channels and gets 2 FTT's in the same channel giving a new Pt3 in...

    My opinion is you did nothing wrong. The dominant direction switched back to down later on. I don't think there was any clue that we were going to drop big time when you went long. EDIT. My chart shows a series of 3 pennant formations from 11:40->12:05 basically CCC and the breakout of...

    :confused: . Not sure what you mean cnms2. All Quote tracker is doing for PRV is using current interval volume and estimating what the volume will be at the end of the interval. No different than what spyder does. The only that QT calculates the estimated volume every second or so, spyder...
