You’re certainly entitled to your opinion and I’m not gonna beat a dead horse.
Whatever you choose will be true for you.
Degapping produces greater precision and clarity. I don’t exactly know why nor can explain it yet, it’s just a fact that someone has to verify for themselves or leave it aside for now.
Verify for thy-self is a fact applicable to de-gapping, and any facet of any of the JH methods.
If one can get themselves to the other side of the logical conundrum - ID’ing bars accurately in real-time, then the 2-3x the daily range comes into view not only as possible but attainable. Unless one is logging bar-by-bar, it’ll be difficult - at least it was for me.
Nice to see you engaging the reality of real-time. That is one reason I wanted to automate volume annotations... It frees me to get "MAD" using my self-imposed, and preferred, faster timeframes.
You supplied some key material when I first ventured down this path, to which I’m eternally grateful so in a way I’m here to support your effort in whichever direction you want to go.
No one here owes me anything. I enjoy the opportunity to help when I can, as much as I enjoy being told that I helped. What ticks me is the Dunning-Kruger effect... those that overestimate their efforts as successful, and believe their (wrongly termed) success becomes their filtering mechanism for further progression. DK effect is not applicable to you... Thanks Sprout. You're welcome.
I just know for me, my asssimilation and proficiency of the material accelerated when I;
1) logged each bar
2) stopped inventing
3) followed directions
4) read what Jack actually said as opposed to what I thought he said
#2,3,4... agree. #1, in real-time live, not for me. For general learning and simming (which I am not a fan of other than for platform specifics and machinations) OK. #2, It's fine, even good, to think outside boundaries. And that comes from a proven to be Rogue JH Trader!
The man was a unrecognized genius at least to these local vocal idiots whom disparage him. He communicated perfectly to exclude money grubbers. There are logic lock’s in the material, perhaps I’m inventing but you yourself have had the aha experience.
Well those aha’s form a path to some AHA’s that are beyond words.
One of my fav Jackism's... "A fully differentiated mind appears to be the mind of an asshole to those who have their heads up their asses."
I don’t think that it’s possible for someone whom just takes bits and pieces of the material. It’s like studying multiple martial arts at once vs focusing on attaining a black belt in one. Sure one can get proficient quickly at self-defense but it’s all about the focus.
It takes a courageous commitment to invest in oneself to ‘see’ all his material as an interlocking system. It is indeed a system and it is one of the most beautiful things I’ve been blessed to witness and interact with. With my life experience, that’s an extremely high bar!
It amazes me daily. And baro-sans whole enchilada input was just what I needed to see.
Most of my sharing is now done IRL with close friends, it’s about enjoying prosperity with friends and leaving the money grubbers to gnaw on discarded bones.
Definitely. Do not allow ET or trading in general to consume your life or mind. Go to the movies, Go out to dinner, go golfing, parasailing, or whatever you enjoy. But leave your phone at home, or at least leave it in the car. Catch my drift (not to be confused with a Set D turn)... You are not your phone.
Btw, by not actively ignoring and blocking folks whom are set in their ignorant, arrogant, adolescent and rude ways will limit the pace of purposeful learning.
It’s like giving an extra seat to the hecklers in one’s internal dialogue, they love to be attention sponges and are great at being party poopers even though they think they are the life of the party. The yoke and joke is really on them.
I (try) to learn something from everyone. Sometimes it's only something about myself. There is a reason I found ET, and converse or just lurk whomever it is. I lurked Jack and Spyder for 2 years or more before my interest to pursue ignited. Just saying.
Scat put me on HIS "ignore" list today. 
"A fully differentiated mind appears to be the mind of an asshole to those who have their heads up their asses."
I acknowledge that by using the best and most accurate words of description for the close-minded might appear as ad hominem attacks. This is unfortunate but we all have our limitations and our safe boundaries.
Yet sometimes it’s better to get something out of one’s life if there’s no enjoyment of it being here.
Detoxing is good !!
pps none of this will work if you are a Trump supporter, a racist, a misogynist or advocate the destruction of our environment.
sorry, not sorry.
There is a different forum to discuss politics.... this ain't it!
