Quote from jychiu:

I agree that Anek has a multiple personality !

In reading thru this thread, we could see that he is very civil and profession in his sharing of knowledge, view point and experience.

In debate with ST, he can be aggressive.

n personal side, he is also a family man, but wonder can his wife accept his porn hobby ?

Any link of the multiple personality to a good trader ?

Where is this statement coming from ?
I apologize if this is some kind of good natured roasting. But I dont see any smileys after any of those sentences !! ?

This is a totally free Thread and free chatroom started by this man that you talk about in a somewhat questionable tone !!

Like he has said before he likes to have fun and keep a smile on his face.

No need to be personallly rude to someone who has been so gracious .
 
I wanted to post a few shots of Thursdays chart. I started going through the days charts as an exercise to help me develop my skills recognizing patters and trade set ups. If you are having trouble seeing patterns during market hours, you might find it helpful to go through this exercise every day after market hours. Clear your charts and look for every pattern and look at how the market develops after the pattern. look for entries and exits. I am finding it helpful to me. Here is an example of how I do it.

All the patterns are color coded with trendlines and notations so it is easier to see the patterns and the notes related to them.

Hope it helps:)

Quote from Shel M.:

Hi Anek,

Thank you for looking at my chart. You noted that on the losing trade I hadn't waited for the 'magic tick'. This is something worth talking about and I'd appreciate hearing what you or anyone else might have to say regarding this. I've spent some time considering the advantages/disadvantages of using the 'magic tick' and so far my thinking runs along these lines:

The 'magic tick' is really useful for confirming price break out of a consolidation zone such as a triangle or a rectangle.

Is the 'magic tick' worth waiting for when scalping retracements (1-2-3s) in the ES?

Trading the ES each tick is worth $12.50 as opposed to $5 for NQ.

The 'magic tick' does not guarantee price will continue just means it's more likely to continue.

So, give up a tick to have higher probability of a trade reaching the target?

Any and all thoughts are appreciated.

Joyous Holidays,
Shel

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

That would be a mistake ... number 4 to be exact.

Discrat... I believe it was said in jest in reference to my post. Anek seems to be ok with it :D .


C.Profitt - be careful about analyzing charts in hind sight. Your mind may include things that you normally wouldn't see/exclude those things you would.

Not saying its not useful, but MUCH better to do a replay of the day and do this realtime.

All very logical reasoning.

One incorrect assumption, just because I wait for a magic tick does not mean I can't get a fill below it or above it :)

profit,

I asked Anek yesterday his thoughts on a more efficient journal keeping method and he stated what a great job that you were doing with yours. I believe that your daily charts would be a great benefit to the other readers as well. If it is not to personal, perhaps you could be so kind as to post on a regular basis or share the link to your photo hosting site.

I am very impressed with your performance on IRC and dedication to your analysis, I congratulate you on your progress. You are a fine example of Anek's teaching and methods, if one only has the fortitude to apply themselves.

In any regard, just wanted to say great job and wish you continued success ... :)
 
Friday morning opening bell has a wild movement, I make a comparison of the minute, volume and tick chart again on the Tradestation plateform on NQ.

A comparison of the morning and afternoon session is made.
In the case of the trendline in the afternoon session, the minute chart looks very different from volume and tick charts.

NQ 233 Tick Morning

NQ 1000 Volume Morning

NQ 2 min Minutes Afternoon

As we are talking about pattern formation, trendline break, magic tick etc, the type of chart that we pick will have an impact.

The tick and volume chart looks similar but not the minute chart. For the brief comparison, I will go for 1000 share volume chart for NQ.

Just to share.
