If his computer had figured it all out with respect to correct annotations, I'd be willing to switch my brains for it in a second. My comment of course is meant as a joke - bitter truth wrapped in the humor.
Close. A gap in the opposite direction of the last traverse (or channel) on the previous day. A gap in the same direction allows for continuation of the previous traverse (or channel). However, yes. Properly oriented, a trader should not need the Carryovers. - Spydertrader
Really? Wow! Just as the market is always right, think this statement through. Is there a way to know if ET search is always right, or did one annotate the 'search' boxes incorrectly? Well obviously I wouldn't be having this much fun if these 'rhetorical' questions didn't have an answer. So here it is in an attachment.
Don't toss out your thinking just yet. Note the dashed blue up traverse from 15:45 to 16:00. I had it in place before the close of the 16:00 Bar, and felt mighty confident - right up until the 16:05 pulled an If1. As a result, I need to review that section in an effort to make sure I annotated everything properly. I encourage you to do the same before heading off in another direction. - Spydertrader
Probably because a trader learns much more from the Monitoring Process than simply how to draw lines. - Spydertrader
Thanks for the very creative attachment, attachment handle and lead-in to same. What I did do was to put 'Spydertrader' into the handle box on the search page and 'peak volume' into the keyword box on the search page (options left on default) to generate a data set where Spydertrader was the only 'author' of the found links. Seemed reasonable at the time. Maybe it's time for a little payback. In return for me having alleviated your state of confusion about the Jokari Window back in November of 2007, perhaps you could reciprocate by remedying my state of ignorance about the definition of 'peak volume' as it relates to futures. BTW, it's not Dr. Gigo. It's Dr. Gigolo. You must be confusing me with someone else. lj
Greetings all. I'm plugging along, trying to assimilate this stuff, catch up on all the previous Journals, and follow whats going on in here. I hope one day to be caught up to a point where I can contribute something! My channels are bad, a mess! and I dont seem to be getting any clearer. Practice might make perfect, but in practicing bad technique I'm certain I am setting myself up for failure. I've only been Monitoring FU Equities to date, as I dont have a feed for the futures data, and therefore don't have a model of excellence(Spyders charts) to compare my mistakes to. I'd like to change course, and start monitoring the ES 5min, and put the Equities on hold. Would anyone have historical UNannotated charts of the 5minES they would share, so I can practice hindsight annotation, and compare my progress to Spyders charts in this Journal ? I'm hoping 100reps on static charts might help to build some understanding! Thanks, and here is an examle of my "technique" <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1998891>
