Can someone help me to use this?

Quote from Spectre2007:

put up a 240 tic chart on the easiest screen you look at..

put up 10 and 30 year bond futures on the next screen over..

put up usd/jpy...eur/usd gbp/usd...on another screen..

put up the vix...daily...on another screen..


now focus on the 240 tic chart, and watch the price action over multiple sessions, watch for:

1) higher highs
2) lower lows
3) draw tic support/resistance

watch what happens to the price action as the previous support and resistance get violated.

during volatile days its much harder for them not to follow through with the violations.

on a quiet day you will have a tendency for lack of follow through, thus bots are just gunning stops only to reverse.

the summation of those violations creates overall intent...and thats why volatility is important, there is more slippage in the intent..(wider ranges).

thats all there is to it...

now the hardest thing to do....is to maintain stamina in following the 'intent'...meaning reversals to stay inline with intent..

you can overlay MA's...so that they provide another indicator of overall intent.


Something tells me this is truly great advice....will do!
 
after a few years you end up filtering out the slow days..

basically the slow days, the intent has no follow through..

you can sense impending volatility, you will be able to see every tic movement in different light, you sense the market participants playing games, the larger players can 'jump' the tic a handle or two..program trades are continous unidirectional volatility... after news events..usually.

then even finer resolution occurs, you end up only trading the first couple hours and last couple hours of any given day.

by trading I mean using meaningful leverage for account size. You wont concentrate on deciphering the tic movements when money isn't on the line.

it takes hours and hours of watching the tic movement, eventually you will get tired of watching it...

1) take small losses
2) let the trade run longer then the time you let the loosers run..
3) get out when the tic vector violate MA's or trendlines..


again the hardest part people have is taking small losses...and only get out of winners when the tic dynamics indicate so.

I would like to find a mentor who would be willing to help me learn how to trade using my trading rig.

So, have you found anyone? :)

I guess I would ask, how much would you expect to pay for this kind of mentoring?

I would pay the proper amount for the proper training. PM sent.

Well, Pekelo...first of all, you have been a great help. Thank you for the advice & PMs.

I did meet up with a ET member that had PMed me to talk shop, which I did enjoy & I learned alot....and I have spoken to several others on the phone...all were helpful....I'm taking in all I can & developing (trying to) my own style.

I will say that I am making progress. I am working on discipline & screen time.

Still looking to watch a great trader live....for which my quest continues.

BTW....there truly is a weath of knowlege here on ET, not only in the threads, but also in the sincere members....just have to sift through some crud sometimes to get to the jewels.
 
So, here we are, eight months later, are you using it?
