As usual Grob, you peek my attention in a very positive manner... Is there something specific that anyone including myself could assist you with. Given your mode of operation, you may not find any of us skilled enough. I have come to believe that I am capable but that's simply because I have continued to perform above the expectations of others in all of my previous work environments. I don't assume this will be true in trading however, as a consequence of time, I have convinced myself the I can acquire ability. What would you like to see develop in this thread? In other words, rather than catering to this thread, how could one cater to what you would like to detail/convey/point out... There are several who undoubtedly would not hesitate to constructively assist.
Do Trendlines work?
- Thread starter duard
- Start date
that seems to me to be exactly why they don't work. trendlines exist in the past only, the future is unwritten.
Let's start slowly here and unclutter things. Trading to make money is a minimalist enterprise.
Heritagewise mankind is saddled with a major and basic intrinsic anomaly in the contemporay roles being played. hunting (bursts of activity) and gleaning (berry and seed picking) were the essence of livelhoods and even survival. Our brains have scripts for this stuff built in.
Derivatives, with repect to time, state the P, V relationship. Since you know the relationship and, further, you know the numerical base in which it is stated and futher you know you are NOT dealing with continuous functions, You ABSOLUTELY KNOW YOU ARE DEALING WITH MAKING MONEY IN A PRMATIVE MANNER.
I want you to think. you see that sins are sufficient and you see that I slipped in the null cases. A 3x3 becomes a 2x2 when you cross the derivatives and let the null case become a boundary.
You KNOW there is a periodicity ratio between V and P and you KNOW from periodic functions where money making cycles are involved that the ratio of V
is 2:1.Therefore, you KNOW the path through the four quadrants is a form that demonstrates the crossing of periodic functions in ratios. This applied mathematical topic is _________*patterns. Fill in the blank.
Okay this puts you in a place where you know the answers to the big three:
1. where am I?
2. What is next? (if you know 1 you ALWAYS nkow 2.)
3. The Market________**. Fill in the blank.
Since we have boundaries at null first derivatives, WHAT DO WE LACK for making money? Answer: ___________*** Fill in the blank.
See next post for more.
I am suggesting that you begin to THINK? What if merchant stopped looking for anomolies? What if Maestro caught on the the biggest game in town for beginners? What if ET starting discussing stuff beyond advanced beginner?
I am not teasing you or anything like that. I am suggesting that markets are simple, non-complex entities that FLOW IN AN ORDERLY PERCEPTIBLE MANNER. The edge route is bullshit.
So there wasn't REALLY an 80 page file posted?
Thanks for upgrading me from B-Team to advanced beginner. Since I am not yet retire-ded I only have time to daytrade occasionally, and then it's only for pure pleasure and to keep my algorithms tuned for retirement (or unemployment). I have the NQ equivalents of what I found to work in your ES approach coded up. It's quite fun to watch synch occur, although in NQ it looks much different and happens much faster. My wife gets jealous when I watch the stretch-squeeze in action, though. She thinks I get far too much erotic pleasure from it. And your volume per bar thresholds tuned for NQ keep me out of trouble at mid day.
As to my journal trades, I think my contra-indicated oilDAQ trades are quite subtle. At least they take balls to make in the middle of near zero volume. But they are pitiful compared to your 3X daily range, I must admit.
If you DO upgrade to advanced here, don't plan on anybody being able to steal it and code it unless you descibe it one hell of a lot clearer, haha! Keep up the good work, Jack. If you didn't exist, the B-team would surely have to invent you for amusement, like Terry Southern and friends invented an author for their collaborative late 60's spoof novel "Naked Came the Stranger!".

Jack. With all due respect, I must add to hunting and gleaning the nutritious activity of carrion eating. THAT's how I like to trade. I am too lazy to kill it or reach up to pick it. I think that, like dogs, some traders are coprophages, which is another noble gustatory activity. And don't forget blood-sucking. Mike.
P.S. I find my best anomalies in the holes in your theories.

Hunting is the meat thing. hunting has climaxes of activity. Gleaning is the steady process of extracting food from a natural setting.
the edge bullshit is hunting as you do. The gleaning is what most wizards do.
It is a male/ female reversal of intrinsice aspects of our heritage.
When a person goes through "being hunted by the market". This is the fight or flee heritage that people have. since the market is not a primative physical struggle, the brain is where the fight takes place. The mind is simply brought to a dissabled place by biochemical actions that ultimately are not retractable.
Lets take the Maestro/Hollins/ et al foot race. Finally after statements for 50 pages, Maestro is stepping out of the flee dialogue he peaked at around page 22 0r so. hollins is walking along at least fifty pages, so far, behind Maestro. How is Maestro going to go through the retractability demanded of him. i don't think he is going to put the 15oo and 1 min scales on the blank right half of the chart so anyone like me can sggust the upcoming trading sequence for him either a few hours ahead or an hour ahead or a few minutes ahead or anything. he has the R and S and the peaking and DU volumes, he can see long, short and lateral on the chart and, also he can see the signals that procede each money making sequence. He needs to go to the next slowest fractal #1, and then we can outline even position trading the entity for him.
Would somone post the url or html for john so he can read the 80 pager??
I'll discuss the Q's on P,V derivatives for a while and see if enough ground work can be laid for a trend line top notch write up. Part E is entitled: Knowing Why Trendlines Have Nohing to do with Decision Making. 50 cent has directly commented and makes several of the pertinent points.
