Here is a synopsis of the commentary that arose after my yesterday evening post. There are two paradigms at play: the gaming and the pool extraction. One has unknowns and the other uses optimization based upon that it is known that a pool is being extracted continually. The 5 minute...

We had two classes (20 IBD and 7 incubators) running concurrently from 8:30 to 4;00 today. The posts by vienna are very instructive. Let me summarize. The SPM thread is run by the OP who is now named trader28lite. He has posted a set of items for doing trading and they have the...

If you want to just use a fixed amount of capital and make more money with it as a trader who is doing other activities financially, you can specialize a little more. You do want to keep making money all the while but you want to do it more effectively with a limited amount of capital...

It was my birthday yesterday so I am running several 250 contract partial fills into the market. Sorry about the spikes.

The idea is that a spec has been set for SPM trading That is what is on topic on the thread. The signals given by OP are stated somewhere. And there are other descretionary things to do. The DOM was mentioned, I believe. You can see that many many others have provided signal generating...

There are lots of ways to do things. You have steeped yourself in a school of thought and use a SOP as advocated by those who substantive materials have held sway for quite a while. In Harris there is a block diagram of the heirarchy of about 32 identifyable approaches. I, more or less...

I asked snarly to do 2 things. 1. paste my chart on his chart. 2. make and post a log of the trades shown on the chart by using his price values. I felt that he would have a unique experience in his life. He would see that from the beginning of the day to the end of the day that he...

Looking at accumulated volume on an intraday basis is a good idea. At any time during the day you have a status report by regarding he DOM at that time. One stastisitic is building through the day (Acumulated volume) and you can see this on an MP for greater detail. Appropriately, the DOM...

You can tool these things up as you wish. Think of market energy and how to encapsulate it for making money. One of the best applications is to eliminate the higher risk zones of trading. To just trade solid money making periods and keep yourself out of trouble when the movement isn't...

Do this for a laugh. Check with snarly on SPM to see if he could make up a log for the 14 trades.

Line this up with the RTH (9:30 to 16:00) and paste it over the bottom of your chart. It will show you three things: 1. How to set defaults. 2. How to trade without looking at price. Blue line passing through 50%. Up go long; down go short. 3. You have to be in the market to make...

What you say is related to winning and edges. It is a place where most people wind up almost without exception. It may be worth your while to read a book on how markets and trading in markets works. I would recommend Larry Harris's Trading and Exchanges. He speaks of "informed traders"...

Not really. Having bben a finalist judge on an annual shootout of B schools, it is inevitable to consider how the schools go through the repeated weeding to get to the final shootout. So, in reflection, it is anything but the ordinary for the creme to rise to the top. Unfortunately...

Buried in this thread is the idea of the century....

I think I overshot the target (participation on a topic) with the above post. Here is an ES EOD distribution (RTH) for 250 days ending 11Jan07. (rounded to nearest point.) This is a year's worth in other words. NB: there is a volume price thread elsewhere and "efficiency" , a person...

Winning and making money, the OP states are opposites. True. One is a form of gaming the other is optimizing. They come from differing paradigms and the paradigms have little overlap. One poster spoke of three factors for his trading which is in the realm of gaming. (win rate...

You flubbed on the nuances.. Do a drill of taking three prectice tests in rotation ten times. Just get the nuances down that are not common sense but are tricky because of one detail slipped in to sucker you. When you have hlaf the test time to spare you will be on the mark. My...

Interesting near miss. Social sounds like fun but the individual is where its at in my opinion.

This snip of the P, V shows a green channel and a bar bottom at the green. At that point in time the snipper stops annotating. You point out seeing the subsequent bars hugging the TL. We are approaching the half way mark on this month's focus, so we have a lot of time to get started on...
