Excuse me, but there is really nothing to explain from my perspective. Probably I didn't understand your question. If you want to rephrase it, please do so.
You said your weekly macro trades were the same as Jack's mico technical trades cause you both made "decisions." I wasn't sure what you were saying, if i understand it correctly.
About 30 people have posted in the thread. Several have left the conversation for different reasons. The dozen or so who have made the majority of posts, find the pool extraction paradigm lacking in a lot of ways. The topics raised arenot new and responses have been made to others who raised these topics (issues for these people). Half as many people are at inquiry compared to those who havd made the majority of the posts. I will address those topics raised by these people. Ten people who are trading the approach on the level so far introduced have offered comments besaed on their experience. The progression of the learning process is a work process that adds more and more tools as experience is gained. Major zig zags are worked on first; then zigs and zagswithin the initial zig zag set are added through work. Finally, the last set of opportunites are added within the middle set. The WORKINGS are not clear to vigin where she (he) asks that it be understood before he (she) undertakes to do anything about the opportunity. The chat room has been dealing with all of the topics that surround "seeing" if it WORKS before doing anything about making use of the methods and tools. I did not speak of filtering before. A person only has so much time and energy and we do try hard not to waste either. Passing it forward and contributing time and/or money to local proeblems is a convention US adopted. It is a great filters for "takers". The fact that learning any method requires work helps greatly to filter out people who are unable to work to do a process. Here the building of the mind is essential and it is work that only can be done by drill and we do drills as the basis of learning. The chat room shows interactions of people doing work and observers who have decised not to work to learn. Education demonstrates how learning becomes a process at some point just after rote learning becomes secondary. We have all seen the USA go to the bottom of the barrel in education. That is apparent here with the commentary and topics that have been put on the table. I have never offered a systematic process before and over the years. Now one is underway and it is amazing and beautiful to see happening. Detractions are minimized by the approach that is being used. The flack is diverted to places originated by people who have that as their cause in life. One automatic filter is the conventional orthodoxy that is so engrained in the financial industry. The creme of the industry gravitates to sub index levels of performance as the standard. Rhis sweeps the vast majority into the pools of capital through sales techniques unmatched in mostly any other industry except pills and soap and automobiles. The pools are huge and so available to "outsiders". THEM are there in spades. The US people use a different paradigm which also acts a a filter. Some here in the majority think the US people are calling THEM's dumb and stupid. This is not true and is anything but the case. I mainly answer questions from anyone where I am writing. I am using dragon 9 to complete a four book reference series and a fifth book on remediation of repeated failure and how sport memory becomes the modus in high velocity trading. The posts are simply pieces of text. And they relate to Q's I have on six levels of performance and they largely related to the "wrong" answers that appear at any one of 60 sectors of consideration. I feel that a person has to divest himself of a "wrong" or mythical orientation before he can consider an important sector of work in a learning process. Books cannot invoke learning in a manner that works for making money. Books can be references to check out things as learning tools (processes) are the main event. All of this is a filter to separate the US's from the THEM's. Everyone is at choice and that happened here quite nicely too. People are adamant about not doing the process of work to be able to make high velocity money. That is perfect for them to make as a choice and the US people want the THEM's to make this choice. People who choose to work on a process get to make money from the get go in a low rish high money velocity setting. They choose to lean forward, interact and share their questions and results of learning. They are working with practioners who are passing it forward and making contributions to local problems. It can be seen that this self selecting process creates two groups of people and the character of each group is obvious and well liked by each of the groups. Everyone is happy with their choices and their results. Six people have posted who are at inquiry in the intellectual sense. The most frequent poster is not one of them. I'm pretty well caught up on the this vs that and the OP seems to have completed his statement on what objective reality is in contrast to PVT and SCT trading. The personal attacks on me seem to have stopped and the persons have gone away. I hope people, collectively, can take a look at whether their state allows them to consider ideas or not. The most common cause of reluctance to consider ideas comes from the grip in which the conventional orthodoxy finally gets to hold a person. This grip , at some point, is not possible to escape from. It does not relate to dumbness or stupidity or ignorance and it just comes from the traditions of the financial industry. It is pervasive at this point in our culture. There is nothing wrong with having this state or condition. It just prevents a person from being able to do anything outside of that box that has been build over a long period of time and is now being carried forward by the financial industry. The majority of posters here do conventional orthodoxy and they know it and chose to do it. The OP calls it objective reality and the majority back him up. It is also true in markets that the minority control. That is understood by both sides of this thread.
Jack_Hershey ; "Ten people who are trading the approach on the level so far introduced have offered comments besaed on their experience." Are your techniques not good enough to trade yourself ?! If you trade by yourself, how close do you come to your 2-3 times daily range ? And if you could answer to the point, I have no time(I trade 10 hours a day) to read through your book lenght answers
Yes, decisions at a minute level or weekly level taken once all the pertinent data has been analyzed is the same thing. The only difference is that Jack's methods if employed correctly must produce a substantially higher amount of profit, without the risks inherent in holding positions for longer periods of time. From what I have been able to learn, his trading method is similar to driving the fastest and safest car in the world. Most people are not meant to be able to drive that fast, even if is the safest car. For my part I have a "problem" keeping my focus, looking at one chart all day, hence I look at some many different markets and do most of my work "off" hours. I plan to become proficient using Jack's methods though, but it will take a while... gttya!
just because no entries and exits are posted doesn't mean people aren't making entries and exits (or holds and reversals). ever think about that? LOL the journal is a place for learning, not P/L and execution reports.
I hold other human beings in high regard, even when forced to insult them. Now let's get back to regular programming. Thx.
what i thank you (and gerry) for is providing me with a hearty laugh thank you. on a side note, it would make an interesting psychological study to find out where all your and gerry's hostility comes from. you must lead very unhappy lives. i don't know how long you've been at this, but a quick google search reveals that gerry has devoted years of his life to this effort (posting in threads like this). i am honestly fascinated by you both. others have postulated that gerry (and perhaps you) secretly practice jack's methods. there's no other logical explanation why you would put forth so much energy into getting other people NOT to. after all, just the other day, spyder busted HYPOSTOMUS using gaussians to enter a short trade.
