Jack, please cool down ... If you honestly want to help this guy, then cut him some slack ... Once he gets it, he'll have plenty of time to make tons of money, so it doesn't matter how much money he doesn't make in the next few days, weeks or months ...
Thanks for the support, Charts, but I think Jacks justified in everything he's been saying. I need to start pulling my weight here.
Also, every time you post a log or a comment post also a link to the chart you're referring to, for easy lookup!

Resize the picture, or scan it with a lower resolution. I've resized your log 33%. Also, US date is: month, day, year ... 10/06/08. EDIT: Don't use HTML sizing because it displays a picture with poorer resolution.
Ok, here's a rescan on minimum resolution. Any better? This should do the trick... <img src=http://elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2131962 width=800>
A beginner has the best opportunity to go to support, comfort and confidence by starting from scratch and adding just what he needs as he needs it to travel through all the knowledge and skills levels to get to advanced expert. Unfortunately no one starts from scratch. Heritage, informal and formal learning create a belief system that is found in long term memory. It is put in through the biochemical process generally known as LTP (Long Term Potentiation). The opposite of potentiation is depression (not the mood term). LTD is more difficult to maintain as an active process than the active process of LTD. A lot of people have heard of the companion biochemical made famous at one of the Ivy League schools (LSD). The "first recourse" a person has as some point gets hardened up to a fairly great extend. A person's character is what is showing when this happens. The best example of the use of LTP and LTD is when a person chooses their partner. LTP is on overtime. Lets move ahead in the cycle and see how divorce operates. Here is a setting that continues until the divorcee wants to complete the process of going into partnership with a new person that has passed the partnership test. A lot of LTD is going on to free up the neurons to make a place for the new partner in his mind. LTP is used to vreate all the new connections. So why isn't bootcamp working to create the new trading orientation needed? The old belief system is so ingrained as would be a partnership between two people. There is no divorce component in bootcamp. ET will never have a divorce component either. To summon up the LTD continually and thoroughly to free up space in the mind for the new orientation is not going to happen. What is the alternative? It is more like makng use of LTP to build some applications along side the prior beliefs or as I say to put the applications in front of the existing "first recourse". Do I need the answers to the questions I asked. Sure. Who needs them more? Two groups need them. Those who are stuck in their CW beliefs and those who are going to do work. Will work work? We know the answer to that from years and years of poor polling. The poor polling shifted somewhat. Why? There are no good reasons that have significance. LTP and LTD are what they are and so is the CW. The CW is a pervasive aspect of our culture. So there is little opportunity for most people to make scratch starts other than the CW scratch start that most people make. A colleague works at a clinic. She has referal children who have attention defict dissorders. She uses the biofeed back I use for shifting people away from the fight or flee syndrome that characterizes the character of the detractors here. She has a problem because the professionals that classify the children's problems do not believe it is possible to have what happens to the children actually happen. The children no longer go to fight or flee and the children use their teachers as the detectors of their beginning to go to fight or flee if their little undeveloped characters are giving "tells" to the teacher. The teachers cannot believe that the Attention Deficit characterisitics dissappear when the teacher first notices it. So fight or flee at the beginning of AD disappears and so does AD in these children. AD stops appearing. I asked the clinition, today if she uses a finger or an ear pickup on the computer the kids do therapy on. She prefers the ear connection. I also asked what the CPM was for getting results. She says: "Oh I just do it first and they catch right on to doing it." What do the children catch on to? LOL...they catch on to their feelings and emotions. Why did the detractors get to where they emote from and how they are still emoting the same old ways? They do just what the children do. Look at a screen and see things. They are at choice (the children). They can choose to do fight or flee and go to AD or they can choose to become conscious of what is going on and skip the fear, anxiety and anger trip and its associated consequences. They lose the AD in a short while. How will the professional assessment people get around to seeing the recovery loop and how it works? They probably won't. How did the repair person discover the CPM? By accident is how. How does she always do repair work now? She is the example at first as the child watches the screen with her plugged in a doing the drill. Then the child does it and gets a reult not previously achievable. Lo of MIT does testing and so does Steenbarger. Why can't they make changes in their clients? They keep doing the same thing and expect different results. That is the way phishing works. Keep phishing and you will get the same results. Who knows this? I do and it is the way it goes and always will. Why didn't Spydertrader phish? Why isn't NEOXX phishing? Why do detractors phish? Why do little children not get help from those who teach them and to whom they are sent for appraisal? It is simply because these people are continuing to do the same thing and expect a different result. So bootcamp is an externality and I have spent over half of it only to get a vertical response again today from the person who is in boot camp. Can I keep doing the same thing and expect a different result? No, obviously, I can't. Can NEOXX keep doing the same thing and expect a different result? No he can't. Is he done inventing? Is he going to print his first colored chart over which to place an opaque cover? Is he going to get a cover for his printed charts? Is he going to put the cover and the chart on a color scanner by mid week and post the entry on 12 days of charts by Wednesday? It took me over 15 days to find out he doesn't have the color printer or a color scanner to do the work. Who is he kidding? He doesn't have a log with horizontal lines on it as yet. He wouldn't use a pencil but he used colored pens to mark the log which he could not scan in color. Mandel is actively phishing for anwsers by accusing named people of not coming to his aid. Why doesn't he aid himself? Fight or flee can be all encompassing. We all read the comments on spending time "clearing". Getting back to neutral from where? Medically speaking there are five (count 'em) separate domino parts to the measurable biochemical aspects of going down the habitual fight or flee stressor sequence and not including the Bohr Effect. LOL.... Doing beginner SCT has a shorter sequence. A children's repair person is dong a great job with children who are "growing" out of AD using their teacher's "tells". How do you think the teachers handle the fact that the children are better observers of the teacher than the teacher is herself? So bootcamp is to get straight "knowing that you know. What is the tell for "knowing that you know"?
