Yes, definitely. But only regarding those who, as you said, can never make it work. Both winners and losers watch the same market data, the only difference is in their perception.

Yea, DV, that's much deeper. That's about inner beliefs of people "drawn" on their mental maps in a way they don't see anything other than through those beliefs.

Ah ok, didn't ask about those, because thought you would not consider them legit enough. So such a track record you are fine with?

Not possible to do in a journal for my style, but easily done via chat, because most entries are stop orders placed in advance. What are you ready to sacrifice for 90 days of live before the fact calls in the chat? :)

What are you ready to sacrifice to get the best form of evidence possible - decent amount of live calls, made before the fact as you like? :)

That would be true, though, cause charts shows the same stuff, just in a cute manner. :)

Noooo... 1M is even more random than 5M as everyone knows!

Is that your normal business ethics, to not answer questions directly? Aside from my site (sorry for oxymoron), what is "scalable" and "basic quant DD" in your terms?

How much is "scalable" and how deep is "basic quant DD"?

The rest of ET should learn from this post how real gentleman should express his wish to call opponent "alternatively gifted". :D

Of course... :)

Whatever it is, doesn't ANY trading decision (irrelevant to analysis tools etc.) constitute the following algorithm: if condition X is met -> odds of condition Y favour taking a trade? Notice, how condition X is ALWAYS in the PAST. Agree with this? Yes or no?

Don't DOM (the book) patterns also constitute themselves PAST experience, used to increase odds of something happening in the future? How can one analyse with any tool, other than using patterns of the PAST precedents, which lead to a certain outcome in the certain % of cases?

But strictly and technically speaking, is there a key difference between what T&S shows and what chart shows?

If one analyses chart only as "raw data" too, simply to spot previous highs/lows and the recent trends of supply/demand, can it be said chart is not much different from T&S? How did charts appear? For what purpose people who first started to draw market charts started doing it?

Notice, I don't even claim chart is "better"... Only ask questions... But nobody seems to give the straight answer... :confused:

I am not asking Gallacher, I am asking you (and Black): what is the difference between T&S and a chart? Does one have any benefit over another? Is that so difficult to answer? :)

No, it is not difficult at all. I ask in stages for the purpose of clarity and to avoid misunderstanding. Does it mean reading chart + the book is the same kind of activity as tape reading?

I probably ask Jack too, but right now it's interesting to me why you consider tape reading having more sense than chart reading, while both tape and chart basically show almost the same thing (trades, which just occurred and volume)? No need for professional explanation, just wonder why you...

No, I do not work in SEC. :) I just asked, what's the difference between T&S (aka tape) and chart, showing basically the same stuff (trades just happened). Your opinion about the difference is really interesting for me, because you claim tape reading to be "real", while chart reading is...
