In using data to trade, it is easy to crash a trading platform with too many "hilights" created using mathematical expressions to symbolize what and how a trend is forwarding. This is probably just the limited understanding of the platform provider. I "know I know" at all times and my...

I actually did start trading (1957). I didn't wait until I had a specified amount of money. All I did was learn for 20 days and then felt comfortable about using money to make money. I opened an account with 300 dollars and traded odd lots (stocks). Since I was just out of college...

you are incorrect and Donna is absolutely correct. besides this, there are many many ways to trade profitably. To me it looks like your mind is ir-repairably damaged (since it is so difficult to erase mistaken beliefs) Try a new handle.

These are general comments. Backtesting does not work. There is no need to predict. By using and only using the mathematics dictated by markets, then you always "know you know" in the Present. The only place trading takes place is in the Present. The standard for being the best is...

It is not a good idea to take gloria seriously.

I would say that Nitro got what he deserved. his blow up on that december was all lined up. he had to go to work for those who whould accept his level of thinking. Who would want to have to work in that environment. I remember we were in Chicago and nitro ducked a scheduled meeting...

You are describing a decade or so of CW experience. The national stats come through compilations of client's performance in IB's. CW is what it is. The amateurs trading record is one where people come and go so their is a high turn over of people learning failure. stats often fail to...

Your post is a good example of what goes on in our trading room. The conversatiions are all like this as the 300 seconds of each bar passes. At bar 13, everyone knew there saw a situation. they also knew how to handle a lateral. We all remember Donna learning and she did get into Al Brooks...

Please post the procedure you want me to use to get the document to you.

here is page two of the log. It shows my handwriting fro bars 22 onwrd where I overwrite in heliotrope the homework done by the beginner.

here is a beginner's log for the open. The carryover is at the top of the log. Bar 1 was a carry over P2 test procedure on an price permission from the XB of price. On bars 2 and 3 you see the negative logic theme that set up the C band. For bar 4 you go to the B band through K band...

this is a "homework" chart.

thia is a chart of the open with volume annotated. We pass out copies in B/W but the screens are in color. Use your coloration

I remember your post. i replied and it must have been killed on the way to ET or a moderator could have deleted it. I will check my saved posts and put it up again. Be sure to copy it since it may be canned again. I located a copy of a beginner's notes (my name is on my copy). I...

Doing this would wreck ET.

The best traders have built their minds to have a trading spectrum of knowledge and skills that ultimately becomes fully differentiated. If a Q is posed they go get it from their mind. Who is the best trader? We all know because we read the news and we see TV interviews. She made the...

Thank you for your input. the PhD's did communicate with each other and agreed upon a plan. I can see that the chat room, the PVT calls and trades for over a year, the oraganized learning plan for SCT and the answers to q's never did leave any impression with anyone. My recent prints...

As a programmer who used to backtest, when did you find out that backtesting did not work? What was the main reason(s) you discovered? In your post you do NOT ask for our backtesting results (you know we do not do it); instead you turn to forward testing in the form of performance results...

To the OP: I believe you asked about traders. Most of the volume on markets is NOT trading volume. Statistics are largely used in the financial industry by those who are NOT trading. The part of the financial industry that deals with trading is the smaller part of the financial...

final note. most people have cluttered minds. This means the inference that is there cannot be erased and therefore the mind can not longer be built into a spectrum. That is just how it is. This is the reason most traders fail. If you name what I type gibberish you passed the test...
