    I am getting my butt handed to me on a daily basis!

    DEGAPPING THE RECENT POSTS ARE VERY HIGH QUALITY. thanks. Those Sierra charts look terrific. About five years hence, I believe charts will look entirely different. I believe unilateral bars will dominate. Today, information bundles remain crude for the variables. Volume is...

    I am getting my butt handed to me on a daily basis!

    Sorry I dropped the ball. This Drift type trend set (Set D) is in the context of a BM to BM Where the potential is there for a D to opposite D type sentiment change. Bars are being named and a trend is drifting. If and when an rtl is in the space, then on a just prior bar (n-1) there is a...

    Geometry In Trading

    Most literature on trading is oriented to geometry. An acorn was dropped by a revered oak tree. The oak tree rustled its leaves to teach it's offspring to be curious and study the facts. Finally one morning after a huge dew and the fog burning off, and in the morning sunlight, the...

    How much would you risk on a GOOD trade?

    Give Jon Netto a read "One Shot One Kill". The concept that is very foreign to most here is that all signals for proper trades are identities. To explain this Look at an exit and an entry signal. the signals are identical and ALSO ARE IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. Why this is true or not...

    I am getting my butt handed to me on a daily basis!

    Thanks for your post and the accompanying illustration. It is true that the b1 breaks the BM on b81. Lets look at the bars from the segments of their unilateral movement. Years from now market analysis will be much inproved. At that time, their wll be many fewer price cases and the...

    How much would you risk on a GOOD trade?

    There is a psychological windew with four panes. One pane is devoted to what people do NOT know that they do NOT know about thmeselves. When this comes into play in trading, they are unable to asess the quality of what they think they are seeing. Under this context no trading is possible...

    How much would you risk on a GOOD trade?

    Since I go in at open and I use hold/reversal approach, there are times when the bar volatility is a margin concern. To handle this I reserve some capital to avoid and IB cutting back on my position at play when I would not have enough margin for the moment. There is also the detail of...

    How much would you risk on a GOOD trade?

    I have appeared on the Improv stage many times. This is simply a consequence of being known in the trade. My context in trading is that I use Boolean algebra. You may not have this orientation and you have to calculate risks and do the Kelly misinterpretations. I was an MTS at BTL so I...

    How much would you risk on a GOOD trade?

    Cetainty is the basis of my approach. The policy is to use 94% of capital. 6% is not used so that bar to bar volatility is handled. (Margin is never exceeded.) At some point in operating a trading platform, there is a recognition that you have to "know you know". The test for failing...
