I invite everyone to be very careful and note how slippery the slope is when you are depending on a teacher who says one thing on one day and something different on another. It doesn’t matter what the reason might have been. I don’t believe Spyder did this on purpose. I suppose he can’t even tell he’s doing this, just as I’m blind to some of what my own patterns produce. But, every excuse in the world (like, ‘you took me out of context’) doesn’t make a difference to the student. And the easy way to eliminate the problem is to simply demonstrate that which Spyder appears unwilling to do.

Could you please post the entire recording, so some context can be given. Clearly that is my voice, and those are my words, but if one is going to insinuate something sinister on my intent, I think it only fair the entire recording be published. Don't you?

Sad that a turn in the journal has lead to this, and on an appropriate page number.

I'm one for putting this behind us and getting on with the task at hand.

Is there any more of the conversation? It sounds to me like he said: now YOU'RE going to say" you cannot know..............."
I concur. Years of reading jack have taught me thing is not always of what it appears to be. For example the right trend line, how long it takes before you realize what 'right' means in channel context. I am currently working on 'minority rule'.:D

Nobody should ask for the [bundlemaker] post to be deleted. If I am in error, I will admit so, and apologize.

Dear Spyder,

I make lots and lots and lots of mistakes. Some might consider my life an abject failure. In some ways I think it is. It would be a lie for me to say that I'm anything other than in selfish mode. You owe none of us, and me in particular nothing.

You may not believe me, but nothing of what I have said or typed is for any reason other than me struggling to learn. Like a wounded animal, I degenerate to my lowest state, that being one of confrontation.

I only posted the small snippet that I did because I felt posting the whole thing was not fair to you. As you clearly wish me to post it I will. Give me a few minutes to convert the file from PCM (raw audio) to MP3. The entire TWO HOURS you spent with me (this in nothing but incredibly generous) was recoreded in 2 or 3 separate files. I post the file in question, let me know if it would be useful for the others.

I DO NOT want an apology. None is owed me. I take no offense. I wish to move on, preferably with this group and with you.

Likewise, if you interpret your words differently that I (and others) I simply ask that I not be expunged from this learning experience and that perhaps you might be just a tiny bit more open to really hearing what I'm saying instead of assuming it's all just a big loop in my head. Much is, I hope some isn't.

THe full file is on it's way. Again, this is being posted with the understanding that this is not a court room and no one is being convicted. No one.

Thank you for your openess.
 
Even inside a zip folder the file is over 30meg. Can someone tell me, (from experience) a good, free site where I can upload this immediately. I may have to leave for awhile. I will get this done.

Also, if I have SPyders permission I can figure a way to upload the works, but it will take some time. I recorede my screen playing back while disucssing it with SPyder on the phone. This effort produced by far the single biggest jump in understanding. This effort got me to see what forest level gaussians really are.

09-04-2007 ES Chart.

Today provided numerous examples of formations. Note how Price and Volume (PRV also) reacted inside these formations. Compare your observations to what takes place when Price translates (continuation / not inside a formation).

It looks there's a small little bar between 15:30 and 15:35... what is it? Did you add it later manually? There's no volume bar either for it.

On ES I did not notice an FTT there (on YM yes)

regards,
Ivo

I agree 100%

The only thing that matters is to continue to learn to understand the market.

That is the label of the pt "1" for the pt 3 channel down.
