  1. Can you 'see' how having the formations in place allows you to calmly determine what must come next? Can you 'see' having a plan in place to handle all thee possible outcomes of a formation result in calmly taking action in a timely fashion? Can you 'see' how by using formations as a convenient 'check' for determining 'right side of the market' allows you to avoid overtrading and assists the trader in avoiding the temptation to 'head down the rabbit hole'?

    If so, then you are on your way.

  3. ES 5 minute chart October 29

    Recorded video for a good part of the day from noon till closing.
    It is just ES with prv and I added a tick chart later in video. This is live annotation of the ES. As soon as I get it to convert I will post it.

    10-29-07 chart attached.

    The low volume areas were tough for me. Should we recalculate the pace lines periodically? Trying to understand how to include volume pace in the sweeps. Thanks.

  7. This is a very small sample of what took place today.

    This is live - ES and prv. This is not a tick replay. I recorded a good part of the day but having a little trouble with the file. As soon as I can, I will try to post the remainder of the day.

    Short video for now - enjoy
    :cool:

    Oddi,

    are you using IF1IF2 trading/sim? I tried once, doesn't really work for me. how do you do it? is it "rising volume" the key?

    Thank you.

    OK, cnms2 has set the standard. From now on, if any of you are going to post your trade, you have to make an animation as well.


    Great work cnms2! Both on the trade and on the animation.
