Are these available for purchase?

Steve... Congrats on your longevity! Where can we go to see your results? -Al

You mention that you have about 3 possible exit strategies. One of the 3 is the hard stop and that is the least favorable. Can you talk about the other 2 possible (more favorable) stops or exit strategies and how you determine them? Hopefully I didn't overlook any comments you already made...

Xela, I always find your posts to be thoughtful and instructive. You've covered some important points that need to be considered. I'm just curious, were these "300 consecutive trades" actual live trades? Or, were they paper trades you recorded when developing your method? -Al

Can you share any more information about this trader? I assume he is a public figure, so... maybe his name? Just curious. Thanks, -Al

Redneck hasn't posted since September 2016. Anybody know what happened to him? I hope he's okay. -Al

The "breakout pullback" pattern can be an outstanding trading pattern. Notice that I said it "can be"... given the right context. But you must have the discipline to really understand and apply the pattern. The context leading up to the pattern is all important. Research "Trader Vic's...

One of the best books available is Trading in the Zone. "Master the market with confidence, discipline and a winning attitude." - Mark Douglas Also, the following quote has been posted before, but it is worth reading again... “Being disciplined in the past isn’t good enough: on each and...

I also miss her valuable insights. But, last November she said she no longer trades full time. She said she had "too many irons in the fire", which might explain why she has not been around recently. -Al

Don't overlook the valuable information that is being given to you by wrbtrader. Read his posts and you'll see that he shares practical trading advice with anyone willing to put in the effort. Here is an old thread by wrbtrader (under his prior user name NihabaAshi) where he discusses Japanese...

Metamega... I don't want to get off-topic, but can you suggest any material to help learn Amibroker? I'm aware of a few sources on this topic, but is there anything that you found especially helpful when you were learning Amibroker?

Could it be... David Sneddon Global Head of Technical Analysis, Credit Suisse. I know he's won trading awards in the past for his TA work. -Al

Since you were speaking directly with the CMT, did you ask HIM this same question? -Al ------------------------------------------------------ "Trading is about discipline...., patience..., repetitiveness..., with no opinion..., and one's ego set aside." -Redneck

Thanks for all your insights that you shared in this thread. I don't spend a lot of time here at ET, but whenever I see your posts... I try to pay attention. -Al --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Trading is about discipline...., patience...

Dr. Howard Bandy has written several books on trading systems. He seems to have the background to do this. He was a university dean who also taught applied mathematics. Having said that, just consider the approach taken by nodoji. As I recall, she performed ALL of her backtesting by hand. No...

I agree. Some newbie's need the psychological edge that comes from knowing that serious money can be made in this business. ------------------------ "Trading is about discipline...., patience..., repetitiveness..., with no opinion..., and one's ego set aside." -Redneck

This reminds me of my younger days (much younger) when I used to get the crap beat out of me when trying to learn Japanese style karate. You'll see the connection in just a moment. Our instructor was the "real deal" because he made us wear boxing gloves and go full contact. This was long...

I thought Saber demonstrated some good insight with his price action examples. So... I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now. Maybe he'll stop by with an update. -Al

And for those who prefer not to use tick charts, Bob Volman has a new book. Titled "Understanding Price Action", it focuses on 5 minute charts (his first book used tick charts). He includes a section where he covers 6 months of continuous trading sessions. I just ordered the book. Looks...
