Quote from Spectre2007:
hey jack, your method comes closest to what I do day to day. The only thing I change is lot size as the day progresses. I dont draw the lines out in realtime, but I have different timeframes up on multiple screens so I can see the price movement in relation to different timeframes.
The only time I lose is when I get fatigued mentally, its constant analysis of the market in focus plus others. Your literally running a mental marathon.
We will be changing lot size in about April in ET forum. The group I debrief with now in Tucson are under two constraints: they MUST add all profits as additional contracts and they MUST sweep on Fridays to keep Mondays account at 54 contracts for start.
They are using the 6 levels of money velocity to set the contract levels. See the three charts on the levels.
The mental stamina can be an issue. as the forum progresses we will be seeing some "sufficiency discussion and in the NLP thread just started I am going to add another fork to the road which will show how what you and I do (generally) does not have the long half life bio chemicals associated with it. The guys I debrief with are hitting the gym without exception daily and they hit the slopes on the weekends.
I have to say that at some point when the sports memory kicks in it is like biking down hill compared to the working uphill to get there.
the multitimes frames are embedded in the 5 min ES, the 2 min YM and all the fine high rep displays of the leading indicators. We do look at the tick residence periods for each tick pair on the ES only.
the right to left twin screen sweep rep rate for me is very different than the debrief guys. It is a matter of sufficiency stuff.
we will have a new platform this year and we also have the mechanical version in the works. I am hoping as the new platform comes on line that I can use an adverstising monitor of my eye movements for archival purposes.
The shift from the Lo Repin and R peterson and goleman bio chem world world to the pool extraction paradigm is orders of magnitude different in energy measures. given that 50% od energy consumption is cellular, that seems strange. Use the delta of energy difference as a measure of non cellular content only.
Shull is training people to deal with the three sources of non trading energy that Lo et al have dicovered is in the space.
Fear is controlling for a lot of the big money tested. Anxiety and anger are right up there too.
The four part emotional oscillator that they have discovered does demonstrate the triggering and the propensity to trigger. We had one in the chat room today just rip from one end to the other.
Thanks for posting, I appreciate it.
