    hmm.no edges in the markets

    I have had a different experience than you. So I have different conclusions. Most of my trading life has been before computers (PC). nothing has changed. the DOM is an easy read and is in-kind to "tape reading". There is "nothing" to remember. the window of "context" is ALWAYS...

    hmm.no edges in the markets

    We do not get offended by the idea of transparency. there is a population turnover on the web. you have not experienced it as yet since you are relatively new and ignorant as well. About the third rotation, the demanding of "proof" gets a little sophomoric. several laps of "proof" have...

    hmm.no edges in the markets

    You have a real knack for humor. Recently, I got a lot of heat on a series of prints. I was demo'ing just how opening carryover trades (trades from calls made based on the prior market close) are done. The heat was from long time posters on ET. Noobs don't stand a chance of learning from...

    Thanks for taking the time to reply to me. I'll follow up with a few comments that may show more about how to go about building one's mind into a steel trap for trading. If we ever meet somewhere and spend some time when the market is open; you will have a beautiful cahnce to see the market...

    Becoming a Consistently Profitable Trader

    I was sorry to hear that you do not realize all the time you have lost (spent on purpose). It was heartening to see that you did not get in front of the machine most of the time since starting your journal. I hope you do not use it over the weekend either. You do have a zone; pleae do...

    My response here is going to be unpleasant to read. How could I resist? I can tell if a person is successful if he is asking questions* about his experiences. * questions of the type his mind thinks up to ask his consciousness. with regard to the four items: 1. Learn that the...

    great job. I like your ID's on the type of turns. Having bar 80 correct was a terrific reasoning job. The trend is a drift trend (set D) and this was the second a turn. When you degap opening, you carry forward a BM from bar 80 But no rtl since bar 81 prevented this. FF saw the BM hit...

    Nice work. tweaking will not be hard to do. you made 7 notes and I will follow up on each. 1. The test procedure would not yield a PP1. See tea leaf. you know bar 78 says advance one peak. So bar 78 is always a peak. A P2 on bar 78 gates permission for a P1 on bar 79. this...

    Congrats, you rnk in the top five of my all time line of people who came very close to figuring out the prdigm Dodd-Graniville implied. I have not seen such a close call in the lst three years. Obviously a trader does Not trade in continuatio, so your statement is a little off the mark in...

    Is counter trend trading a disease?

    The OP encouraged an adult exchange among those within a certain age group (I didn't make the cut, I found out). As a trader mateurs in knowledge and skills (and refraining from getting stuck in a space), he does experience the end of Enter/Exit type trading; thus, he is able to take more of...

    Now redo the sequences with the failsafe BM and rtl's added in. By bar 5 (BO, T1) you see that you are upgrading your performance by picking up the non dominant move. A BM takes you back to dominance on bar 8. You will get a good sense of how the a, b and c turns build, as subfractals...

    start retro on bar 35; go back and assign values from bar 33 and onward. This is a switch to sub fractal trading. As mistakenly mentioned, in reference to Brooks and me, neither of us are single fractal traders. All price cases are sub fractal coding gates and kills for the trading fractal...

    river: Going up to Phoenix was just the beginning. Now its like having a baby arrive but it also takes visiting skilled folks in five categories. The most recent panel was the most toxic so far. It will work out for the long run. I am learning what tired really is.

    Here is the am today As an exercise you can label the volume EE's from the three look up sheets. Then label the types of turns in parallel with determining the trend type. Use Modrian panels. finally, just use a go long or go short notation on price. As you do this, think about how...

    As you saw, having the anticipation all completely described (you do it daily for yourself) you will feel comfortable, supported and confident in getting each day to start with an early success in making money. Every day is the same. Just use the five entwined OOE's to anticipate the opening...

    Yes, review thoroughly the STR/SQU dynamic and the WALL range limitations. It is very important to monitor big money and take note of the "mistakes" they make that guarrantee to you winning trade segments. STR/SQU is a first derivative analysis. The walls are the classic market example...

    Questions about resistance and support

    1. All trading is done in a window. The four sides are determined in the same manner all the time. a. The right one third of your display is devoted to lines you draw which extend into this space. This is the future "container" of market variables and where the Break Out (BO) will occur...

    thanks for your input. This is what I did: 1. the retro lat4 is bar 37. and the lateral ends on bar 40 (Se BO and pink arrow) Since the lateral commenced on bar 34 and simulktaneously an Ab occurred A P1 is found on bar34. Doing the retro makes bar 35 a T1. 36 is a P1 on the BO, T1...
