Jack Hershey Method: Emergency Exit Drill

Grob109 licked the tip of his No.2 Eberhard and scribbled the following in his epic journal
Here is a drill for you.

Its called the emergency exit (reversal) drill.

The optimized SCT makes entries on the TL (right channel line) and exits on the left channel line where price movement completes the most progress on a move.

Through out annotation, your observation that a forming bar and its prior bar used as a reference is de rigour.

A trading day has three levels of channels at work for us as we trade. The market puts up the bars and we put up the annotations on these three levels. Channels within channels within channels.

The small short term inner channels we do in almost unobtrusive grey lines that are projected.

Here is the drill.

Trade on the grey channels. Trade the long diagonal of the parallelogram staying in the channel on the "right" side as long as price stays in the channel.


When you have an FTT in the grey, reverse. This is the end of forward progress.

IF YOU MISS THE REVERSAL OF THE GREY CHANNEL, REVERSE INTO THE NEXT GREY CHANNEL AS THE RIGHT CHANNEL LINE (TRENDLINE) IS BREACHED ("THE BO") as an emergency exit action

Do this until you never have to do an emergency exit and you are, then, catching the optimum traverse for each profit taking.

The amount of profit from doing emergency exits to doing FTT reversals gives you about half the points available per day. Emergency exit strategy will give you a multiply of the H-L as a starter.

The drill is more about doing good annotations of channels than anyhing else and it keeps you glued to adjacent bars and to seeing that you are always making money when you stay on the right side of the market.

You will always notice, too, that you cannot be "holding and catching your breath between spurts of doing work" while thinking that this is an "okay" way of working out in spurts.

NB: Trading through a whole day using SCT is not a possibility at the beginning. A normal trader would get too pooped to continue to put forth the effort. When you start doing this working at an SCT level for an hour is an accomplishment. SCT trading is a severe mental effort and it requires being in shape mentally. When you get to "sports memory" it is much less taxing.

There are six drills for getting in shape mentally. they have not been posted as yet except to say they replace the six drill propsed in Forbes a while back.

Well here we go again. Another Hershey Drill. Instead of posting his "log", maybe he'll show us all how its done and post his "prints" to the P&L journal as he claimed he would do. Wonder why he never shows real executions? Hmmmm.

Since Spydertrader is doing well I have to believe that there might be some merit to the futures system too but it is strange that no one will give any results when its so easy to take a snapshot of the IB execution page.

If someone does well in futures its not because they are using the "emergency exit" drill.

When constructing a home, common sense requires a strict adherence to the architectural design. Hammering nails and pouring concrete without regard to location insures failure. Rather than point your finger outward seeking the source of blame, I recommend glancing in the mirror. You have incorrectly drawn more than half your channel lines. No wonder most of your trades resulted in a loss.

Unless you believe that Jack's failure to post execution reports in the P&L Thread somehow keeps you from drawing channels correctly, I recommend reviewing trendline construction. Otherwise, you come across as a carpenter who can't hammer a nail straight blaming the architect for his own shortcomings.

Good trading to you.

I believe a shot of Jacks execution sheet with 20-40 actions on it would do more to inspire people to take up the study of his methods than a hundred of his posts. If he showed a multiple of todays range I would become a believer in a hurry.

According to Oddiduro, the channel drawing method I layed out in another thread exploring that issue was in fact correct.
BTW I am referring to 2 bar channels, the fastest fractal and the grey ones to which JH refers. To which channels are you referring , perhaps a longer term ?

And you are welcome to post your successful version/interpretation of the drill here as refutation.

Again for clarity sake. I did not say, "Jack posting execution reports would fail to inspire people to follow his methods." I did say, "Jack's failure to post execution reports doesn't prevent anyone from learning to draw channels correctly.

Again, for clarity sake. I did not say, "The methods you described to Oddiduro in another thread were incorrect." I did say, "You incorrectly drew in your channels." Since you described your own efforts as "two bar channels" in the attached chart, do I really need to post a screen capture of how many channels were not constructed by using two bars? Compare your own nicely constructed white sheet with your own posted chart.

Good Trading to you.

There are no mistakes.
Not every two bar channel is every two bars. But go ahead and post what YOU think are the mistakes.

O.K., fine by me. It's your money; not mine. I'll refrain from contributing to your thread in the future.
