ok ok, but my entries are directly in line with the method taught here. I am not the one focusing on the other stuff in my posts.

Can you at least consider that the whole class is basing trades from RTH charts only ?

I am sure you can at least do that....

Thanks :)
 
I originally posted this in the equities journal, but since it has to do with Gaussians I'll post here too.

This is GROW. Gaussians might be a bit tricky. If you don't understand what I have drawn, speak up and we'll discuss.

I definitely feel like I fell for a "flaw" today, but since we dont see them on the forest level, its ok with me. If Spyder or someone doesnt mind, I would like to know if indeed what I saw was a flaw and that, in the future, I will be able to see it as such and not worry. The time I am referring to happened from 15:34-36 on the YM. I have talen a few paper trades in my sim acct recently and today I was short at 1384.25 around 15:28. Everything was going along nicely until this YM "flaw" when bar 15:34 closed. Vol higher, bar looks to be reversing. I exited my trade at 1383.00 due to this. needless to say, we went a lot lower shortly afterwards :)

Spyder, was this a flaw? Thanks

Steve
 
My ES for today. Today's exercise netted 18.75 points in RT. Wow, what a day! Note, I do not annotate the gaussians on my volume chart, because my charting program scales it kind of goofy. I annotate this by hand on the printouts. (I'm going to have to fix this).

Sat around most of the day but ended the day with a nice one. Dont know what you call the second point 3 on the RTL. One earlier trade off an Ftt but was a bit jumpy. I did not wait for a RTL cross to exit because it was so late but exited on the LTL when it bounced a bit.

Great chart. Much better than my mess...

WG could you tell us how many trades did you make today and if possible which bars you used for reversing ?

Where you in the market all day ?

Thanks !!

that's a very tidy chart.
 
OP,

Here is my log sheet for today (I use a simple Excel worksheet). Mind you my notes are kind of cryptic and it's unedited. I use the YM and MAK's great PRV tool. I record what I'm doing in RT. Keep in mind that this is a paper exercise, but I treat it seriously.
