I designed the Futures Journal as a step-by-step guide for learning the various portions of the methodology. With time, and purposeful learning, anyone can begin to understand the concepts discussed. However, the monthly discussions, which break down the various tool sets into smaller...

Any market, any time frame - provided sufficient liquidity exists. - Spydertrader

Price and Volume is all I use. - Spydertrader

Tape = Two Price Bars with 2 of the 3 points (Point 1, Point 2 & Point 3) on one of the two Price Bars. 'Chubby' Tape = Minimum of Three Price Bars with Point One and Point Two on the same Price Bar with Point Three located minimum two Price Bars into the future. Channel / Traverse =...

Let's focus on a more recent phenomenon (See Daily Chart), rather than, the longer term trend. On 4-23-2008 Price headed higher breaking out of a Lateral Formation (4-18, 4-21 & 4-22) on increasing Volume. What must come next? What actually happened instead? What does such an event tell us? As a...

The single most important component of your chart is Volume. On your chart, I cannot discern whether Volume has increased or decreased over the previous day. Could you resize and post another version, or simply post the Volume levels? Also, WTF is that green channel? How did you arrive at its...

Grab yourself a backup UPS to give yourself enough time to exit the trades. In case of broker outage, have a backup account so you can hedge your position and go delta neutral. In case of connectivity issue (See 'Poncho cut the cable'), have a back up internet connection. I use the same Mobile...

Nice Trade. - Spydertrader

Speaking of which, how are things since the lightening bolt split your head? :D - Spydertrader

Welcome to the discussion. 1. You may want to alter your chart settings a bit to mirror the convention used by most people contributing to the thread. Black for Up Red for Down. 2. Worry less about the 'tools' at this point in time focusing instead on correctly and thoroughly annotating a...

Because after spending the time to type up several paragraphs telling the world how right you are in your thinking, providing sentence after sentence of rationalization, you still haven't found the time in your hectic schedule to apologize for your comments to Mr. Black. From my vantage point...

Again, nicely done. Keep up the great work. - Spydertrader

Try matching the Gaussians to the Price Peak or Trough instead of the Volume Peak or Trough. This should clear up the majority of your confusion. - Spydertrader

Market Sentiment Changed. - Spydertrader

I'm not talking about stop losses here. I'm showing you how the YM leads the ES at points of change (often several minutes in advance. When the YM doesn't provide the early warning signal, the STR / SQU does. In this case we 'see' the signal a full two minutes before the announcement. Again, at...

What are you riding 'dead-head' in the jump seat over there? That noise you hear is a triple seven zooming right over your head. You missed the point. :D The signals don't come from your TV set, your P & L or your 'gut'. The signals you need come from your instruments. Instead of airspeed...

Fed Release and BAM! the market moves. If you could 'see' the changes fast enough, you wouldn't need the brackets. - Spydertrader

(All times Eastern and at Close of bar) Please note both the 9:58 AM and the 10:00 AM Bars on the YM. Now look at the 10:00 AM bar on the ES. The YM clearly led the ES. News or not, someone has the information before the rest of the world, and their actions, always leave clues on the charts...
