I use GTM and Skype. Our trading room in Tucson has a 50 some inch screen on the wall. Any laptop can be plugged into it. ET is dead. It hasn't kept up. This is not a U tube five minute shot of bullshit from a journalist. At first my posts here averaged 7 replies each from baboons. I particularly enjoy the ones that say I do not trade. Recently I learned that no one in ET can read a print of a trade. Pekelo doesn't even know what or when settlement occurs. He is one dumb shithead that I laugh at when he posts his bullshit.
Feel free to hit complain whenever you see a message from one of those baboons, and I will clean up this thread for you.
Here is where we are. We have all the pieces available to the purposeful learners. We can ignore all baboons. Moderation is not required for this thread from the learning point of view. In ET learners have always been well outnumbered. We have a flow of boxes to become facile using. Once you learn to degap and name price bars, then we can begin to measure volume by just measuring the correct and only the correct volume bars. the name of each volume bar can be posted. then for each bar you look up to see if and EE has occurred. the first person who see one can say what it is. then we fiure out the turn type for the EE and write it down. A trend type becomes clear, we look to see if each EE is an n - 1. If and when we get an n - 1, then we prepare to take profits on the next approprite EE. Then we reset and start the window again. As you see my posts are covering more stuff. I am also getting the word length down to 30 words. A few years back ET had a chat room. For several years a lot of people resided their various methods blow by blow. Those chats were and are archived. If we break up the flow sheets into u tubes, then each one can be a lesson. I use camtasia to record whole days of trading. This means the chart is showing and their is audio as well.
I see your illustration. It is too big to print. You are not moving forward at this point. there is a simple 30 minute cure. Print my chart. Print my log. Get a clean log and use the chart to duplicate the entries on my log. when you see a translating bar, just do it. slow down and do the steps for the other bars that are in colored boxes on my chart. look to see if I bothered with wrting gap. you corect my log by writing gap on it where I skipped ahead. You will be able to do most of a day in about 40 minutes. So far you haven't figured out who teaches you to do degapping. It is you. So now that you know, do the above and don't look back. thanks for keeping posting logs. I can hardly wait until you use arrows and draw lines through the voulme testing zone.
I am hand drawing a "degapped" chart right now. I will then complete my log using your log as you instruct. Hopefully I will have something soon. Sorry, something correct soon. -Jered
Here is a suggestion. Use "wait" and see "do not meaure on the bar since the information is not statistically significant". Gradually, you will be able to let your mind open up to monitoring and analyzing For makiing money the word is HOLD. It means "Keep My hands off the trading mouse no matter how fucking smarter I think I am than is the market" I put up two opening trade prints a while back. before the first I showed my "settled" account. As can be seen by the prints I entered within 30 seconds on the bar 1 of the day. I held. this means I did hold. Notice about 100 contracts were involved. The trades only made peanuts. That is just four and five digit profits in a brief while. to make money you annotate and you log. Later as you trade you can use "snagit" on that computer to collect prints of trades. thanks for your polite post on the word "maintain". It sounds nifty. But do not use it because it is an additional invention that will slow learning on the part of others. we need to see a lot of logs from a lot of people. If the poorer loggers start to cheat using the methods of the smart loggers we can clean up a lot of the messiness here. many people are way too smart to annotate and to log. I was thrilled to see your chart that helped jered. right on.
learn to read a print. settlement is after close and comish is immediate. what you see is part of the 4K I pay a day to trade 100 contracts. when aperson posts prints in real time (as you didn't understand), then R/T means SETTLEMENT has NOT occurred on the profits. hey zeus.
