And BTW, Jack, I told you once before that your single quadrant model is flawed. When the direction reverses, you need a SECOND DIFFERENT quad to describe it. Not that either is correct. I'm outa here. Left my waders at home.

One of my favorite posters here, Emil Kraepelin, said it better than I could. If you can't trust Jack to get the little shit right, how can you trust him on the big stuff? It's not "JoKari matrix", it's "JoHari window":

And while sounding erudite, it has absolutely nothing to do with any thought process in trading.

This is old territory which took some time to get across. Many people made good effort in getting it. Getting reasoning to happen is not a difficulty once the connection is made.
Apologies for not giving credit to the maker of the this doc. I found it in my archives without the originator's identity.

Quick Q icarus. On your attachment, I am somewhat certain in reasoning that the top left quadrant is the buy condition for the following scoring reason. If you buy in the bottom right quadrant, you are in the scenario where the change in volume is decreasing and the price displacement is negative. The duration of any quadrant is not necessarily known. In shifting from the bottom right quadrant to the upper left quadrant, volume shifts from decreasing to 0 to increasing as does price. Thus the bottom right quadrant would presumably be the anticipation of a buy since it is what is next in the cycle progression. Unless one is timing the exact bottom of a cycle right before the shift to increasing P and V, it would be somewhat difficult to not encounter drawdown by buying in the bottom right quadrant. Perhaps I'm mistaken... Is my reasoning flawed?

Ah, a true believer. Too bad Eric Hoffer never met you. Or you never read him. I have made numerous valuable and not so valuable contributions here under many guises. I gave away a perfect working scalp for the benefit of all of those with the balls to play it and the ego small enough to take it. It still works. Worked today. At least when I post a trade, you get an execution report to PROVE that I actually TRADE. In this thread my job is to keep Jack honest. And it has been no small contribution of mine MANY times to state what of Jack's stuff works and what doesn't. HE doesn't even do that. Hahahahaha!
