Question set: From top to bottom" 1. No, there are no references to YM in the 5 cycles On any bar where intrabar MADA routines occur, the "sceond", counting down from 300, the beginning of the bar, is recorded. At 110 in bar 5 a node was found by following a path of links to that node. The node was N and a pass/fail tst occurred. Pass was the result. We are now at MAD of MADA # 14. This causes a trade exit. As noted on the log 6.1 points profit per contract were taken. Every 30 cummulative points in cycle 1, the objective according to the plan Excel is to add a contract up to 5 contracts. then the trading is done at five contracts until trading day 12 of the cycle 1. Also MADA # 14 caused a path to be followed to P and a reversal was also done concurrently with the exit. What was achieved was "staying on the correct side of the market." This precept is essential for trading dominant segments. When the Tucson group first began this 60 day trip over five cycles, an exit was all that was done and NO feedback loops were included. Now they are since the posted support materials for cycle 1 are being used. At 110 of bar 5 the trader is long (sentiment) and holding.
Moving to green and red questions. The cycke 1 is fractal sensitive and as such all of cycle 1 trading is done on the same fractal. I'm sure my words here will create conflict in the minds of many. that is the usual thing that occurs. Our objective is to trade dominant segments. It may seem contrary to "stay on the right side of the market" at all thimes while trading a dominant segment. We are using what is called "logic" to reason as the market flows. One underpinning of all of this is that the market is orderly. this means that there is an order of events. A myriad of orders of events are proceding in parallel as the market variables flow along. Each expression of an order of events is in its niche and it is ALWAYS COMPATIBLE with all other orders of events. You are speaking from the orientation of the pattern, its points on a parallelogram and the correspondence of volume to each portion of those segments of the pattern. This is very good work and it is correct. Reinforcing it with the YM is also commendable and correct as well. For a moment turn to the nodes of the Dominant flow sheet and the finite list of MADA routines. Also examine the log columns and their relative positions on the log. Everything in this post "fits together". Where it fits and is organized is in the mind. The miracle of building the mind is adding "pieces" that are complete pieces and that the pieces are able to "fit together" with other pieces when the mind deems it to be important and usually when you are sleeping. The mind's "putting the pieces together" is not interfearred with when people are sleeping. The green answer is that we are "in" a short parallelogram that you described as a point to point determined parallogogram. In buisness two things are important: 1. Making money , and 2. Being prepared. A person's character and heritage affords him much in skills and knowledge. So we use those properly in trading with respect to its business aspects. "Staying on the correct side of the market" is being prepared. It may or may not make money, but it does prevent any losses. Wash trades do this and they are signalled by a 400 year old signal from trading's colorful history. This is the N node. You will see the N node used liberally in cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,9, and 10. Being on the coreect side of the market is a preceedent for "making money". I believe almost everyone has built into the character and derives from their heritage this fundamental preceptset. So it is part of all successful trading systems and approaches. The N node keeps all of us on the correct side of the market at no cost (except business participation costs). Examine the log and see that the correct side of the market for "longs" may not make money but it does enable three things: 1. it repares us to make money on the short domiance segment by segment within the envelope of the parallelogram. 2. It prepares us to take advantage of the next long dominant segment if and when it appears. 3. It, most of all, allows the brain to be getting data input that will MOST help build the mind.
The blue question is ansered in the green red question answer. We are "contained in a parallelogram. For now in cycle 1 we do only the dominant segment on a given fractal level. Faster fractals are observable in a bout 10 to 12 other places. Later as we have THE mental framework in lng term memory, we will begin to put all of those future pieces into the framework on more detailed levels of the heirarchy. How all of this ends up is that a person's mind becomes fully differentiated and he trades just like he drives a car in any kind of traffic or situation. There is no Black Swan traffic accident ahead.
Yellow/orange question. It does and soon you will see it. The concept of order of events is a specific construct. Dominos describe what an order of events is. Flipping coins doesn't. Lets say a person can digest this and sleep on it for a while. This shows he is a little differentiated and he can consider trading as a way to spent time making money and being prepared. This log DEMONSTRATES HOW DOMINOS WORK. You see a bar with two occurances of an N node. you see them as O-1 and O+1. That is because you are not right/left oriented. You are still up.down oriented. I am encouraging people to think in an orientation that deals with dominance and sentiment. Try to see that the O of a bar can be approached from either direction. It is always approached from O-1 going to O+1 in terms of AN ORDER OF EVENTS. Each time, the same pass/fail test is done to find the CHANGE OF SENTIMENT. I am thinking as you think to answer your questions. I go to where you are then I draw you to a forwarding place. It has been proven for thousands of years that intellectual progress follows a given path. the path has nodes along it and those who follow it go through the same mind building or they get stymied by bad choices and are simply denied further forwarding. (See detractors and they comments and mistaken points of view). there are many many wys to trade successfully. they all deal with money making and being prepared. Using a logical approach in lieu of a statistical approach is how greater and greater success is achieved. When you pose a question, I go to the question, give it context, and forward you to a new and better place. Obviously, a question helps both of us out. Order of events is getting into the picture. thinking can begin to flow as a consequence. repeating a valid experience over and over leads to long term memory pieces of inference. Sensing (10%) plus proper inference (90%) = perception (100%).
Last question. this shows you worked through the N node IBGS opportunity. Nice work. I see I made a tabbing mistake on profits on that line. Add another point per contract. LOL.
his makes a very cool point. Most people do strive to find out where they will end up. The problem is more like: "where am I at any time?", and "do I know that I know?"
This makes a good point. MADA has four parts. M is sensing + inference = perception. So for ADA you close your eyes. To take action , which is moslty "hold" you reach closure and repeat MADA. Occassionally you do a behavioral thing to take a prifit segment or wash to be on the correct side of the market. You also add contracts from profits @ 30 points profit per contract added. So MADA is the critical thinking side of trading and OODA is the "betting" side of trading. I hope people can see there is an alternative to betting by now. There are some other loose ends in the thread, all negative ones. See next post.
I sent fionna the following pm to assist her: 06OCT06 illustration You referenced an illustration of mine in a thread recently. the facts on the "owned" stocks on that list are very easy to verify. The illustration is from a revised Transcript of a presentation that was video tapes originally. See pic 3 on page 19 of the revision. I is a pic of a list snagged after close on of a Friday dated 06OCT06. The four "owned" stocks are listed in my hand writing in pic 2 on page 17 of the revised transcript. Each owned stock is batter 1 of each of the four streams of capital. Notice the date on the pic, in my handwrting, is 08OCT06. Those streams were held at that time and, further, about 75 people knew this. With respect to the monitoring. On the following Monday (09OCT10, I did snagits for about an additional 30 snags of that list AND the batting order set up on the day before, Sunday,08OCT10. In addition the trades were called in writing as they occurred on Mondat, 09OCT10. If you want an electronic copy of the revised document, it is 79,081 characters long and is 15,079 words on 77 pages including illustrations. All the trades are in bold so they are more easily seen in relation to the original vidoe transcription. Well over 100,000 dollars was involved and the account was opened @ that value months before.
In trading, it is possible to trade from "lists" rather that just use charts. Lists are an outgrowth of the period known as "tape reading". Lists can be used on various platforms. Those familiar with such "know" how the lists are constructed. Specifically when a list is constructed, it is usually saved. To save a list, usualy it is given a pertinent name. Some times a list is updated or modified. At that time its name may or may not be changed. Changing the name preserves the prior list's contents "as is". The 77 page document ("Putting the Pieces Together") I made available to fionna has a lot of lists illustrating it in order to show how the trades were taken on 09OCT06. There are about 30 real time snagits shown and they are accompanied by text. It is not a good use of my time nor does it dignify the use of my time to follow up on uniformed stuff posted by others for thier personal purposes. The specific titles of the lists of that week were dated in the file names according to the date they were first compiled or the date they were modified. The batting order list was named using the first name of the trader using it at that time with real money. I do NOT expect people to understand how I provide contributions to others. Why would that ever be possible? All people make their own decisions and, if they comment on me as a consequence, others who deal with their stuff CAN DEAL WITH IT ANYWAY THEY WISH. What I say to help others, requires no disclaimer of any sort. I am free to comment, and it is done constructively, in the manner I choose. There is always a set of people who feel obligated to post their views. That is on them and NOT on me. They got to be the way they are because of their decisions and the consequence of those decisions. We all have immunity from that type of stuff; it simply has no value.
