Third bar?

Second bar?

Let me put this another way. What is the significance of each of these bars, in succession, "high" to "low", "open" to "close", in context? What is each story? First bar?

What is the significance of each of these bars?

Aside from all the lines and channels and so forth, the central question with regard to prep is do you know exactly what you're going to do at 0930? If you don't, none of the rest of it matters.

I don't know who is reading this journal who is not reading the SLAAMT exercise, but a post I made there today may help refocus the effort on employing the SLA. There has been much emphasis on lines and broken lines and what constitutes a broken line and how and where to draw the lines and how...

Actually it's two different kinds of work. Are you interested primarily in modifying -- reinforcing or extinguishing -- a particular behavior via positive or negative reinforcement? Or are you interested in determining the stimuli which trigger certain -- assumedly undesirable -- behaviors in...

You may want to think about whether you want to modify the behavior or eliminate it. If the former, once one has determined the behavior he wants to modify he should find the stimulus that triggers that behavior. He can then desensitize himself to the stimulus and thus short-circuit the...

Is the SLA about lines or it is about supply and demand? The scratch is all about acting when the trade isn't going as expected. It is intended to defuse hope. At what point does the trader determine that the trade isn't going as expected?

While I don't want to be unkind, you guys continue to "learn" the wrong lessons. Today was not a template for anything. If one "learned" that all he has to do at the beginning is develop a bias and hang onto it come hell or high water, the market will make him pay. I suggest that all of you go...

But they're finding them today, and we're already at 19. So why would one quit?

If you're satisfied with your results, then your filters are for you justified.

Price fails to advance or decline because traders can't make trades. Whatever lines one might draw are not pertinent. Traders were unable to find trades below 3446 yesterday morning. They all know this. They tried again yesterday afternoon but were able to find only a few. This level was...

While it's still fresh in your minds, if you were thinking about it at all, why did price stop at 3446? Why did price stop at the last swing high? Why did price stop at 3437? Where is it next most likely to stall? Why?

Happy Anniversary!

Before we get too far into hindsight, note that the second time price tries to get through 3490, it fails. This creates a DT. One can short the next bar. But that trade rejects the downside as soon as it triggers. Not good. The other option is the upside, so one goes long in the next bar. This...

As regards this morning's trading, note that traders could not find trades above 85. They then could not find trades below 75. What does this mean? It means that you're going to trade in a range, which is what you do for a half hour. If instead you're worried about where you're going to enter...
