I don't know that "views" come in to it, at least now that the pdf is written. It's so obvious, it seems like a "duh". You have your lower high there. There's really nothing to discuss. Unless one is afraid to take it. Which is the chief problem across all methods and approaches and trading...

The "trick" here -- though it's really just planning -- is determining just how far away from this activity one's entry needs to be to avoid being caught in a false move but not so far away that one gets caught in the first retracement. Some avoid the whole problem by just taking it and saying...

Well, I first became acquainted with W in '98. How long did it take me to realize that it was AMT?

Did I? Sorry. In that case, this should have gone to the "intraday" thread. But that's been pretty busy lately. Nonetheless, it seems to have been written before I put the pdf together, and if nothing else, the SLA prevents overtrading. Yes, there may be a few false starts if one is nervous...

Ever heard of China?

Or at least not Republicans. And what exactly is the pertinence of the NRA convention?

That probably accounts for all the corrosion.

Cleaning out my hard drive, I found this posted to somebody sometime and thought it might be of interest. Though it addresses the development of a trading plan in general rather than the SLA in particular, I find that nearly all who take the SLA seriously want to go through at least the...

Sorry. When you didn't provide any context for your first charts, I had no idea what I was looking at, and since I didn't know what you were after, I didn't comment. There are so many similar journals, and I do try to avoid becoming a nomadic crypto-pundit. When you decide to emerge and begin...

All well and good. Not everyone trades the same way. But what sort of responses did you expect? What was it that you wanted people to respond to? If they don't know what you're doing and why you're doing it, they're pretty much limited to Good Job and Too Bad. OTOH, if you're trying to put...

All of which is true. But then one must go beyond that in order to examine the reasons for wanting the calls in the first place. What is, after all, the purpose of being held accountable for an actual entry? To convince others that one is competent? profitable? Why not just provide the plan...

No. Real-time trades on a message board are part of the mythology. One can either post the trades in advance, or one can join a trading room such as that described here. If one is scalping, then of course there will be "tons" of trades. But on most days in the NQ, there are only a handful...

The US hasn't been a super power for quite some time now.

the most valuable thing to learn about trading isn't how to use tools per se, but how to think conceptually about markets, and the human behavior that moves them. ---------------- the primary difference between amateurs and professionals is the ability to characterize and manage risk...

Perhaps because there is or was so little to reply to or respond to. There is of course a significant difference between a trade log and a trade journal. The latter is about the journey (journal, journey). These generally get tons of replies. Some of these replies may be unwelcome, but that's...

As regards the above, if anyone knows of any trader who provides a trading room which abides by the three rules listed and who is willing to provide said room at no cost to the participants, please let us know.

Trading Rooms/Chat Rooms by “edabreu” After more than 5 years' full-time trading and about 100 trade rooms later, I have a few thoughts about how to save yourself a bundle of headaches and heartaches and maybe a few bucks as you search for a trade room. First question is why do you need a...

This afternoon, in the hot center of the state of Alabama, a parade of Americans will pay homage to a historic march. Meeting on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, on which hundreds of black Americans were beaten for the crime of standing up to their government, Barack Obama will remember a heroic feat...

It's worth remembering for the "older" crowd that unless one is over at least 50, he's not going to remember a time when there was not the universal reliance on indicators. Or the ubiquitous candle. Those who learned by reading the tape have no problem with this. Those who learned with digital...

Continuity of price is a real problem for those who have trading experience. Beginners have little to no trouble with it. And candles just make it worse. I developed a sensitivity to it by using 1t charts. Technically, of course, and ironically, tick charts don't "flow". There are gaps all over...
