Exactly. I clicked everything on his profile, trying to see if he has a link to a website or a journal somewhere. I fully expected him to say the logs are, of course, not for public view.
somewhere in the diarrhea thread: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/on-10-case-geometry-and-beyond.310880/page-62#post-4694402
Oh yes, I see lots of diarrhea... "Price case gives permission or not to measure volume." LOL (how about permission to enter the market??) But I don't see a single trade called anywhere.
Sprout is an obvious fraud as his buddy Xela.To trade his bullshit cases he needs the VIX > 20 at all times which isn`t the case since 2012.
yep I remember that. I was posting on same thread . check out the thread and see who was liking her posts and supporting her vendor of the month - al brooks. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...om-al-brooks-price-action-books.311494/page-3
There's something on your face, here's a napkin. To answer the question above, depends on how much you have differentiated your mind. An advanced expert can profit in more market conditions than a beginner. An intermediate is on the way to being proficient, proficiency is on the way to mastery, all are on the opposite end of the spectrum as a fool, the troll and the cynic. Having healthy skepticism is vastly different from skepticism having you. A fool speaks first without thinking, there's no thought or consideration in the effect of their words. If you haven't found what you seek, keep looking, but first look in places you haven't looked before. Sometimes it's beneficial to pause and give yourself a moment. When you are looking for your keys, you don't stop until you find them or you just never leave the house. In terms of log, it's a scanned and posted paper hand written log that documents 21 logical operations per 5m bar using the basic granularity of the market - Price and Volume in time. However, time is decoupled and transformed into a variable that is more useful. A more useful perspective by which to view the market are events. The market goes through a sequence of events inherit in the design of it's microstructure (L. Harris). The basic events of the PV relationship is OHLCV. The market is fractal in nature and the underlying principal can be observed on the fastest timescale up the slowest. It is composed of two opposing trends that ultimately fail leading into it's opposite. A short trend fails, a long trend begins, a long trend fails, a short trend begins,... Thus basic cycle of the market is established. This handwritten paper log is a daily practice that calms the mind during trading hours and develops the mind/body connection. What occurs thru practice is that there are moments during market cycling that "you know that you know" and you enter from sideline to take the trade. The "you know that you know" is distilled from the 21 variable dataset. There is a pairing of this log to an annotated chart. This chart is a visual representation of what's on the log paired with geometry. The geometry used build on the basic granularity of the market into primes and harmonics, much like a periodic table each element of the market is defined just like our physical universe. There are different languages and each have their perspective, some have more distinctions than others. There is a trading overlay logic that is built in the mind that uses the chart and log to make trading decisions of early enter, enter, hold, sideline, early exit, exit, reverse. Volume is the measure by which to perform any of the actions above. It's either increasing or decreasing. The tide is coming in or it's going out. There's a column on the log that shows transitions from Long to Short and Short to Long. It's hold and reverse trading, cue by the cycling of volume as it builds a trend based on "the pattern". Mental stops become reversals signals, always in (except for early exit, exit and sideline) works much the same way as driving a car-> focus and steer. Steer and focus leads to crashing or slaughter. Even though the basis is always in, there are longer periods of sidelining where no money can be made and best not to be in the market. This is where steers are lead to slaughter. Most would consider this midday when the market is in congestion, convergence and centering. This is what comes before a Break Out or a Failed Break Out. The math of the market is boolean. The methodology is precise, it operates via the scientific method. There's an Order of Events that the market sequences through. Simplistically, open, high, low, close or open, low, high, close. No other other possibility exists. The math for the market is boolean. This basic pattern combines into 3 types of moves, 3 types of turns and 4 types of trends that compose the cycle of the market. Moves are composed of Dominance or non-Dominance Turns are the intersection of two moves. Trends can be complete or incomplete. Trends ultimately fail, they are cataloged. There are routine ones and rare ones. "The pattern" is the basic DNA of the market. The above describes but just one methodology in a sea of methodologies. Take your pick, no harm no foul. Also, I don't owe you anything nor have anything to prove. I started as a beginner here and just got to work instead of jawboning. I'm just fulfilling a promise of paying it forward for other genuine, inquisitive, open and thinking minds. I'm the way I am and I have my limitations. The methodology is also a foreign language, one that leads to a vary different place depending on the approach. Expanding market awareness also requires diligence and work to get to answers. Test for yourself,... True or False? Curiosity, positivity and friendliness goes much farther in getting what you want than mockery, derision and hostility. .... just saying. btw, not to leave you hanging but it's vacation time, gonna celebrate in the forest with a tribe of my best homies, see ya'll when I see ya !
