Thanks Jack!
This (holding from FTT to FTT) is my next and highest aspiration for sure.
Am still in an Entry and Exit mode, often get out too early etc...but working on it.
Incredible display today of what is possible even on the coarse level.
Love the logging btw, very satisfying activity...
I turned the page format sideways, which allows me to note the gaussians on the log as they occur on the chart...tracking the P's and the T's....
Best,
The sideways is probably better for mental cohesiveness.
I remember the transition form EOD data and trading to the first real time data collecting opportunities. I went to a retrieval system that took about 5 data point during the day and I noted the 16 cell Jokari paths on stocks at that time.
A printed a blank 11 by 17 to get under way and then I glued on additional pieces as required. the folds every 17 inches alond the charts meaned that they got several feet long after a while and some got quite tall as well.
3M had taps then so I used them for my positions on the charts and on a wall in a hallway. Oppostie my hall wall was a 4x8 gizmo with a shelf. I printed 30 some listed and put them in this three level rack. A did add and deletes in four colors.
My limit to stay amateur was 15 accounts so I had a fifteen page printout daily of all the trade distributions in those accounts. I "bunch" traded so I never knew who would get a small benefit as the partial fills went through.
I probably can't explain how doing this for over 50 years affects what you mind is capable of. I do remember my intial appraisal of a stock making it into my niverse was about seven pages long. At that time printers had two widths and each printer had punched holes for guiding. The sheets all came through by rising out of a box on the floor and zigzagging into a collection place.
Osmosis probably describes my mind building.
I like this thread since mostly everyone doesn't see all the obvious things.
I am glad you are seeing the market as an unfolding process and you see how recording each status point as a slice keeps the Order Of Events sooo crystal clear.
Discarding time and adopting rigidly interelated events is such a pure transition to reality.
I'm personally going through a physiological transition. I am monitored during my sleep. The classification of events is by their duration. Two main categories: over three minutes and under three minutes. the machine tabs the long ones and can tab up to 40 shorter ones in detail.... lol ... thats the way it is.
I'm crusing at 17 to 20 longer ones a night and I shfted from over 40 to just 27 of the shorter ones. When I am in an event my pipes tend to collapse and the correction is to try to start breathing by beathing in and tighten the collapsed stuff. So I am going to get another machine to keep me pumped up and under pressure after they look at me long enough (medical liabilities, you know). I'm using four second chart data points for both cardiac and pulminary; they really synchronize, P leads C and if P is longer my C can double once the O-2 become available again. I get to have a device that makes the durations disappear and then my cardiac MLR becomes very consistent. So I am going to chack with the power company on their services reliability and hook up a computer powerfailure backup just in case. (just joking.. the power company here is always screwed up by HVAC problems)
The switch to hold/reverse form entry/exit depends mostly on your realizing that volume leads price and the carving of profit segments is in the window the two variables create.
In this thread you can see discussions and beliefs that realte to failures and consequencesand losses and such. those facetrs are not part of taking the market's offer as the market gives you the leading tells of the Order Of Events.
Here you see posters who are fully entranced by the gamber's orientation of John Boyd and his CW fable called OODA.
With three faster fractals alwaysavailable and their pure systemmic OOE, you are just watching the inimitabilty of the interlocking order of events unfold. You write the events in the columns of your log.
Doing five cycles of the log for practice in a session is a real mind sharpener.
Most learners are screwed as TO pointed out. They run out of time before their minds get built using the interlocking Order Of Events. One of their additional problems, is that they are not having a remotely purposeful ecperience in the first place.
You are and you are "putting the pieces together".
Your mind is now taking over the job of scheduling its growth through the questions that are raised as you annotate and record the interlocking order of events on at least three fractals.
Congratulations.
Macattack is not going to read rhis post. He is focussed on not reading gibberish. So is Covel. It is so cool how those who will not do the work don't get the consequences of doing the work.
