Quote from Osman:
not to be ciritical Grob, if it works for you it works for you but that graph has too many things going on. Did you make a trend line for every 3 bars? It seems too much, if i had to trade realtime using that chart i'd have to take too much time interpreting what is going on. Just give me a line that connects two major lows and another with two major highs and i can call it a day.
what does heliotrope mean? pink
I stay on the 5 min bars to have a feeling of a process.
People here often trade on 1 min. I copied the 20 some pages of Hypo tests Jack to do a co,plete workup on hypo. two things happened as I spred out the sheets in a work area. I wanted to tie together about 50 comments that were salient and constructive. When I went back on line the next am the thrad had added several pages of OT so I dropped it. For a while I had imagined a person wanted to do something towards being really wealthy. My mistake.
Imagine for a moment that you are on a rich and abiding fractal that for 10 contracts is pumping money into your account. You can "see" the lines easily by then. I draw because I have the feeling of "s l o w m o t i o n"
Right now the person next to me is "in" and jumping ship as he put it at 13:41:02. He is logging now.
This is where the prior "carry over ended" with the slower channel ending. The channel that began at 12:30 yesterday (20MAY04). Day trading is done inside these channels.
So we are doing the first pm channel now and he left on the 2 pair and up coming spike. It was 2 bars of "fast pace". Before and after it is DU.
You may have read my prior post where I shared my plan for the pm 2 trends. I made what is referred to here as a "simple" statement based up on the 4 levels of channels that bound my money making.
What appeals to me about markets after 47 years is that they have always been doing the same thing. If I am lecturing at a B school I am in a place where I am addressing non trading stuff. If I were getting something ready for the Friday 5:00 helicopter at EOP it would be clear, concise and crisp for decision making.
ET is a place where many people can be helped out. It is not a good idea for most people to read my stuff. As you can read, it makes people angry as they judge me and how I do what I do to others who are not getting the job done.
