Quote from OverDriven:
Jack, when you say "the full market offer", are you saying that it is possible to take what the market has to give completely? To know what it will do at every moment?
Not quite.
I know BEFORE the time you are speaking of.
Just before the Present there is a time slightly to the right on the charts of the Present.
That is where I finalize, what in a brief while, will be happening in the Present.
The market zigs and zags. My view of these is that each makes money, hence the full market offer. In our trading room we fillin these turns at a price value that is known before the Present occurs.
Thses price values have a name. In CW terms it is called obs....... something or other. In my market language is it called a WALL on the DOM.
Why it appears is because smartbigmoney has not gained the insight to know that too many limit orders on a given value means that NOT ALL OF THEM CAN BE PROCESSED.
Several games are played on the DOM. They are all sophomoric and unsophisticated. It is what happens when people think they are smarter than they are. They fit on the smart scale past the middle and they do not know what the far right side looks like.
For me, I have been tested and I am located to the right of the smart money.
So I can see the system of the market's operation. Because of this, I use leading indicators of price always. You use lagging indicators unfortunately.
I use 10 to 12 leading indicators of price. I invented several so they are not common to CW type people.
In the early days of Wikipedia I was the one who announced the new post PC defaults for the popular indicators. Today mediocrasy has returned to Wikipedia since it is democratic and such. Dummies and liberal artists prevail.
There are many many slow learners in ET.
What if you were a thinker?
What if you could look at a market and see anything?
It takes a real big jump in thinking to see that the market is finite and has very few parts.
As a warmup drill, consider a trend. It has three parts. Two of them are ends.
Image you are innersky. He is amazed that there are 35 End Effects of trends.
Image you are A. Lo at MIT. If you were you would look at extremes of trends and name them, find out they do not occur often and then find out they do not make any money when you use them your way. And you testify before Congress and they believe you. What a joke on Congress.
Once I testified before a Congressional committee on the efficiency of atomic power plants. They didn't believe me. They will someday, however.
I maintain an "unbelievable" status in most environments. This keeps most people out of my personal environment.
Attached is a chart. It shows some stuff I am writing up. Look at the superimposed boxes with medium borders. They show the reversal zones. The arrows, red for short and black for long, are reversals.
You said you do entry and exit and sit on the sidelines. I go in on open and do holds for the full offer and do reversals on each profit segment.
as you see in the illustration this is all unbelievable.
