Thanks for the journal comments. It is how in the markets that I have learned cognitively, adapted, and practiced Brooks, and a handful of other authors concepts, including a few of my own inventions. I always have a little hope that some mules will learn something from my efforts to explain...

It is very likely you may not have understood him correctly. It took me a long time to see how he expresses himself. It was kinda of like understanding George Douglass Taylor in his book “The Taylor Trading Technique.”

Isn’t that exactly what padu is saying and doing? He has admitted losing hasn’t he? But he also is trying to show how he is continuing to learn from Brooks? And that he is learning to apply it. He admits he has not arrived. What more do people want? It appears that folks want someone to give...

Top secret! Just follow my journal and Sim the concepts. You can probably figure it out by then. If you have no psychological hangups that would hinder you in executing trades, taking profits, and losses.

1) Yes he is quite amazing. You nailed that one. Congradulations! 2) Yes, it did take me awhile to grasp his way of expressing his thoughts, but then again, I am not the sharpest tool in the tool box. 3) Could it be the practicing successfully or not is strictly an assumption on your part...

Why are folks on here railing on Padu? What difference does it make if he is showing some strategies on a sim? Just add 2 ticks and see if price makes it. One for entry and one for exit. For instance, to capture 4 ticks in the ES you generally got to have a total of a 6 tick move. 1 additional...

That is quite a general statement don’t you think? No one? I wish you the best with algo trading. Please understand it can stop working as fast as it started working. Then it is back to devising new algos and a lot of backtesting. Even so, backtesting is no guarantee that future trading based...

LOL I’ll word it differently. They can’t be stopped. Your Dad can’t will them to not come. They are incessant and will appear at will. What your Dad did is called discipline. Discipline is doing “what” you need to do, “when” you need to do it, and “how” you need to do it, paying attention to...

I don’t think they can be overruled per se. They can be acknowledged, then one can turn ones attention to the patterns. The key here is “turning.” That is the skill that must be developed. Just memorizing patterns is not sufficient. Mindfulness is a skill that enables one to turn. But ones mind...

I have never been able to lose or master my emotions. Nor have I ever been able to dominate my mind. Both are incessant in constantly pushing their activity to the forefront of my consciousness. The best I can do is acknowledge that they are there and realize they are part and parcel of my...

I agree there technically is not such thing as overtrading. Not if one has strategies that work at rendering profits in ALL contexts. However, for the discretionary trader mental fatigue can be the source of bad judgements that render previous profits obsolete. There are days I can trade the...

I find that at my age my brain starts getting tired around 11:00 a.m. So my best trading is usually done by then. If for some unknown reason my brain is not tired I may trade all day. But when I am tired I make mistakes. There is a saying "practice makes perfect". If you tend to make your money...

NEXT BAR …Reason for scalping LOL. SEE most of the time the market is probing back and forth. Price will go where more transactions take place.

I can’t scalp that fast! I usually go for 1 to 8 points in the Es. Most are 1 to 3 points. I never backtest. I look at the larger, the medium, and the immediate context for the trading session on the TF I am trading. Since the market has inertia and tends to keep doing what it is doing “until”...

Thanks for taking the time to look at my journal. When I get some free time I might just take you up on your offer to look at how you trade. IMO it is a good thing to never stop learning. I try to show how I scalp so if anyone who wants to check it out they can. It may or may not work for them...

As far as age they say: “he who has more birthdays lives longer!” Yes life is short. Many folks forget that. I have a journal on ET where I make detailed posts explaining how I trade. It takes up a lot of my time. I have nothing automated. All is discretionary. Scalping and bikini clad girls...
