... No real time signals, just curious since the discussions is only focused on how to draw the lines but no one ever mentiones a trade lol.

thanks.. it is more interesting to match the trades to the lines

Here is a post where someone linked to a video of them drawing channels (actually, I think it shows him catching the signal [an FTT]) in real time.

Earlier in the Journal, I added symbols to show entry long, entry short, and exit points. I also included the clock for when I captured the screen shot.

I am sure, but they appear at the end of the day already neat and i wanted to hear from somebody who draws these in real time and shows when they went long or short.

Here is a another post by 8833broc. I am a little bit more nuts tho since I am a tad more calibrated to the YM's ebb & flow especially for segment like this afternoon. I take action when price breaks from the immediate trend. For right now, we're just doing the intermediate trend. However, same thing, different zoom. I am trying to think of the equivalent in options, but my mastery of options is not up to snuff... Not yet at least, but I'm working on it!

For intraday moves the options are not appropriate so better to do it with futures

I am not asking for a detailed explanation of how the lines are drawn as I read most of the old text on that already but more curious as to when you are placing your trades because all I am seeing is the EOD chart with the lines.

I think it would be interesting to see a trade done off of the chart. No real time signals, just curious since the discussions is only focused on how to draw the lines but no one ever mentiones a trade lol.

You can check this older thread where I've posted some of my real-time options trades, using Jack Hershey's methodology. It shows 1 to 3 day trades.

I'm trying to learn the volume formations i should be looking for when im looking for a FTT. However im looking over some old charts posted here with FTTs marked.
The volume formations seem to differ between a /\ or \/ gaussian.

just not sure which one i should be looking out for or both. clarification would be great

thanks

a fine little journal. Amazing results.
Why do you hide it under "Politics" is beyond me.
