We're in the same boat - trying to learn this. Keep in mind that this is not a college book on calculus that you can read, do some exercises and pass the test. The journals are a collection of extremely valuable insights into the inner workings of the market generously provided by a very gifted...

I honestly feel you are making a mistake of expending your energy and diverting your focus on matters that will not add to your own progression to success by arguing the subjects that hold zero relevance to what you wish to accomplish - learning how to trade these methods.

Come on, cut him some slack. Can't you see he is frustrated as hell from the lack of progress. Everybody has been there at one point or another. Introverts keep it inside earning an ulcer, extroverts spill it out to vent. Keep in mind, there's a big difference between criticizing and...

Whether you like it or not, those are the rules established by Jack Hershey from the beginning: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1983836#post1983836 I am glad you sorted this out. Others got there, and so shall we. It's just a matter of placing a proper focus on things...

Since I may have shared the same feeling of frustration that you experience, but for a different reason, allow me to point a few things that restored a proper perspective for me: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1614395#post1614395...

If anybody had kept a copy of the transcript of the last skype chat with Spydertrader, that took place in mid-February, I would greatly appreciate sharing a copy. TIA

Teaching and learning are two different things. One is what is done to you, the other is what you're doing to yourself. If trading can be taught by writing a book or series of posts, it would have been done. If instead there's a progression of different ways of looking at the market and how it...

I am only responding because, if there is something I am 100% sure with an absolute certainty, that would be the fact that there's no 'true' FTT. FTT may lead to BO or FBO without any predictive power as to which one will happen. You're misinterpreting his post. The logic of his comment was...

Q.E.D.

I am definitely guilty in participating in what looks like a few people debating subjects they don't have the slightest clue about. At this point I seriously doubt that any answers can be found by posting questions, because they are followed by answers that produce even more questions, with the...

I admit to sharing the same paranoia. What's even worse, the longer I study this the more it seems that this whole thing may be a function of individual's gift and not a rule based logic. Keep in mind that Spydertrader could trade ES profitably without any of these tools (channels, FTT's etc.)...

They may lead to a traverse forming in the opposite direction. But they may also not. Just like an FTT may lead to BO, but also to FBO. And an FBO may require fanning. In other words all poodles are dogs, but not all dogs are poodles.

It does not hint at an upcoming fan. It hints at the fact that the change will result in price moving within the traverse. RTL bo on decreased volume hints at an upcoming fan and when the traverse fan, we still find ourselves in the same, yet decelerated traverse. Just like the Tape Level Change...

This is an attempt to list all ways in which a change can materialize and separate them into two groups: Tape Level and Traverse Level. DRAFT Version 1 Tape Level Change [list=1] Increased Volume with Decreased Volatility IBGS Outside Bar Lateral Movement on Increased Volume Spike...

The logic here is as follows: change can show itself in a number of different ways; these ways are divided into two groups: Traverse Level Change and Tape Level Change; Tape Level Change is the type of change that only shows when price travels within the traverse without leaving the Traverse...

you're looking at the wrong bar. take a look at my post, I cut of the rest of the chart. it's the bar bfore that, it shows increasing black volume and decreased volatility (accidentally it also shows lateral movement on increased volume, which is also a change signal). this is the bar that...

Note this post: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1704755#post1704755 and Spydertrader's response in terms of sequences: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1704830#post1704830 Are we talking about pt3, flaw/VE, FTT sequences or something else going...

A flaw perhaps?

Sometimes it's so frustrating to feel extremely close to an answer and yet not being able to articulate it or have an AHA! I'd like to try one more time before retreating to my cave to do another set of annotation drills. Don't laugh, but I am having trouble understanding what you mean by...
