  1. Nice to see you around Spyder, thanks for your annotations. I know that a long 'measuring bar' denotes the confines of a lateral I missed that one with the subsequent DB. I may have remembered subsequently if price found its way back down there! :)

    I was pleased to have the dip confirmed (that was what the orange U was meant to signify) that's something that I had not previously looked for.

  4. Probably was RT! Having said that I know I would have found it murder with open positions through all those 10 15 or 20 minute 'flaws'. (hope my terminology is correct).

    Actually the post that someone copied recently where Jack is talking about finding 3 or 4 opportunities where the pace is good struck a cord.

    The range today is fine but doesn't seem like much pace. It (S&P) does seem like a completely different animal to the last couple of times I traded it. I certainly haven't got that much of a feel for it yet so am not in the ideal position to judge pace. (its positively pedestrian compared to the DAX).

    Cheers.

    WOW. Real-time ES+YM data after 30 days of 10x speed ES playback data w/ annotation and simming is quite the experience. It's like you're on speed or something. Or like swinging a really really heavy bat before stepping up to the plate. SO MUCH TIME TO THINK!

  7. I was afraid of that when I was thinking about recording the unfolding market and doing a playback for practice. Too much time to second-guess.

    Probably best to replay at 1x speed.

    First time using the YM in a long time. Here is a snippet:

    1345: FTP forms on ES (hold short)
    1350: FTP BOs down on increasing red (hold short)
    1354: FTT on YM forms (rev long)
    1355: FTP forms on ES (hold long)
    1400: FTP BO up (hold long)
    1408: FTT on YM forms, FBO of ES FTP (rev short)
