'I might waste some time later this Summer and post a journal here if it doesn't conflict with my trading.' Make sure Proffy that your post on ET is within 30-60 seconds of the price when the signal was issued. Posting a signal 5 minutes after the action has already taken place in your favor, will be no good and WILL hurt your name in the trading community. Like said before.......HONOR takes us all forward.
No point in arguing the merits of honor. Nobody will disagree on this. You should pursue this further on Chit-Chat if you feel like. What takes us all forward in the context of trading though is buying and selling at the right moments. Not much help on that one from the "Kinematics, Calculus, and other higher maths" thread.
How many contracts are traded per minute or for that matter per hour in the E-Mini S&P each day? How many contracts are traded per minute or for that matter per hour in the E-Mini Dow each day? How many contracts are traded per minute or for that matter per hour in the E-Mini NASDAQ each day? How many contracts are traded per minute or for that matter per hour in the E-Mini Russell each day? If your answer is . . . it varies, then Time isn't the primary indicator . . . price is because price oscillates be is never a variable. It either is or isn't. Monitoring any Market in a variable environment is akin to watching a television program through static. You can see it but not clearly.
I look at markets little diferently then majority does. I want to trade when cycle( daily , intraday ) is completed and enter just before or when direction of the market reverses. I do not care where price will be when I enter . Right now i will watch S&P around 14:30 est for a profitable entry. At what price? I have no clue and I do not care. I just wait for a time of the reversal. If i do not get confirmation around that time, I will jump into pool, have a drink and wait for another reversal time. If you use a time as a primary indicator, trading is just much easier.
'Not much help on that one from the "Kinematics, Calculus, and other higher maths" thread.' First go and take 2 classes on these topics each and then come here and complain. These are not some new indicator that one paragraph explanation will have you calling shots. It will take atleast 2 statistics classes to be able to made even a crude model of other topics let alone the stock market prices and related movement.
