    Taking the full offer of the market is simple and follows a logically deduced process. Tinme is replaced with events and there are four keys to a market's operation. All stem from market granularity. An ATS is used to make it more easily possible to do the "taking". An expert skilled...

    Thanks for all you work and questions. I can see you are working hard and your effectiveness and efficiency will improve. Laterals are tough to deal with and you do need to log. Years ago I suggested that logging was messy, but it is also spectaculalarly informative to others. thank...

    Why does TA not work (for you)?

    If you remember, besides that above, was there any source that had a retail trader orientation that appealed to you (At the time you began trading)? Mine was Magee, 4th Ed. in 1957. Then I just saved the last page of the WSJ for backploting new high beta stocks on brownlines.
