YOUR TOUGH AFTER NOON STARTED AT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE es CHART OR BEFORE The tough time actually started around 15:00. Up to that point everything seemed to be going as expected. At 13:10 we had the afternoon BO, then a FBO, which happens often so it was anticipated. At 13:35 we had an inside bar, prices started stalling, decreasing black and we went sideways. So I expected walking out to a point 3 or retrace to point 3. My annotations were pretty bad, especially on the YM. I'll get that in order. In hindsight I probably should have posted more of the charts instead of squeezing them together for posting. Thanks for taking the time to walk through this. It's very helpful. Regards - EZ
I have been annotating the charts for awhile now but have not been posting them as theres seems to be quite a few as it is. I can do so if it is required. I am logging on a spiral notebook and am not sure how to post that but will figure out a way if that is also a requirement. Whatever you may think, my comments were posted out of empathy because of the frustration some people are expressing. I think they are taking on too much too soon but what the heck do I know.
Okay that is the series. I commented to bearbelly between a couple of these. what we are doing now is logging several part of the display to have a data set the give a MODE. you log the MODE result And then you log the decision the Action is logged aftr the decision and you have completed the MADA routine. By doing a logging of the M, which is the data set, that keeps you straight on the greys, points, channels and FTT annotations. here you see that the chart and the logging go hand in hand there is no place on the log for the commentary we saw in the original posting of the tough time. So my posts are not to chide you (including bearbelly) but they are to achieve defining "purposeful " work. as you drill you get to be effective and efficient. a lot of people are coming into this from other orientations. Building the walls around where you came from is an unconcious process. You will actually feel it happening most when you start your day. You can see this in your diaries too. they will be something to read five years from now. The doors that need to be closed get closed all by themselves. do drills to better let them be closing. a little tired here...gotta go
CFerret - I can help ya with some of this - go to pg. 264 and locate PrOcrast's post where he provides links to Vol. 1 (January) and Vol. 2 (February). Perhaps I missed it, but I do not recall seeing a recap for the month of March yet.
