So I was actually closest first time around (0, L, M, H, full), but whereas my abbreviations were ambiguous and poorly informing at best, these terms are precise and objective and facilitate mind differentiation. I'll do the illustration before continuing with the drill.
The finding FTT as a drill takes time. The next drill putting in whole Channel sequences reveals the W and M type days and trending type days. Log ago I asked for a tree to show the variety of sequences and how they branch out to form a day. This was not done so I left that task undone as things shut down. We are beginning to see that four sheets of logging make up a day. We are suspicious that to log on higher levels takes more columns. It does. What else is ahead besides more columns? It is making a better vocabulary and letting a vocabulary word stand for much more. Underline or high light this sentence. People are intellectual giants when they learn to differentiate. We are becoming like a carpenter with 20 years experience. Not the one who does the same first year over and over but the one who adds a year of new experience each year. The before and after intellectual difference of Beginner is Immense. That is beause of the scratch start; the referent before is very small except for the CW in the way of progress. Getting horizontally organized has been accomplished and it is an amazing asset. Hoking Gaussians is underway and we can now see trail blazes (color) and elevation change. We will use the same mind Operators over and over. They feed memory banks where long term memory is happening and this leads to differentiation topic after topic. It is like a huge warehouse of conveyor belts. Operators do things to stuff coiming through the conveyor belts called universal coding and later readers of the code switch labelled stuff onto the next conveyor on the trip. Nothing will be getting lost. And it will be stockpiled where needed to make it available for use when a request comes into the warehouse. We are going to palletize the log soon so the spece of the log has greater cpabacity and utility. Advanced beginner will be set up prior to Monday and the thread will become indexed on page one of the thread using the OP's first post. We will NEVER lose sight of what we have in beginner. BUT beginner will become the BOUNDARY of all of our trading. Price is always in the BEGinner boundary and from time to time we OVERLAP (can you Believe it, we are cementing in our minds what overlap means as we speak) one channel that is ENDING with the BEGINNING of a NEW channel. There are IED's Ive laid out all over the place. We want to reuse everything to turn SCT trading very GREEN. I will pick up the humor, the pace and the intellectual level. When we get done with OTS or OCS we will ,ove it to Carlyle's handy dandy War College level and run the games five deep. By that time maybe the Civil War in ET will be over as we go global in our thinking. The palletizer of SCT is MODE. We will keep adding packages (columns) to form pallet loads for the subset that forms M of MADA. you will learn when you do NOT have a full pallet. And you will learn that filling pallets is a quick job where alot of 0--2 is energizing the brain. There will be NO trading where the coherence goes to sympathetic OODA, vertical orientation and fear. anxiety, and anger drops the 0--2 to 50% of the brain requirement. We do the routine of MADA keep full pallets moving and USE MODE to ENABLE the certainty in which we always reside mentally. We are going to be batting soon and we will go from AAA to AA to A to the big leagues in knowledge, skills and hiking pack size. You will soon see this weekend how many contracts boot camp got into neoxx's backpack. PACE and volatility and overlap is going to be part of avdanvenced beginner, MODE is not measured on the CHANNEL BUTR it is measured on the TRAVERSE level. We go form FOREST to TREES level for trading and we KEEP doing tapes traverses and channels and have the internals on our platform automatically. There is no change in hiking Gaussians BUT we will have to drop the packs and load more contracts in the pack occasionally during the day. traverse profits create more margin to add contracts. This is not the Allenhobbs fear and anxiety contract adding by passage of time instead of constant adding of knowledge and technique. Margin is just a fixed size coffeee can and you add coffee cans when you have the coffee. MOJO makes coffee. Weight change of packs can be handled by HIKING. I had to have llamas after a time because the pack was so large. A string of four carried 80 pounds each. Two panniers per llama and they were balanced to the pound.
Day 9 I overshot even the channel FTT while searching for a point 3 on the prior drill! <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2142986>
here is my represnetation of what I requested. there are three things foe each case: vocabulary symbol, key word stored in mind and the illustration. The three most commonly used operators in the mind deal with shape movement and spactial relations. In reading there are three operators invloved as well: shapes, spatial relations of shapes (word list) and meaning of the words. Say thet you know some words by their shape you then have a known meaning for the word also available. What is we do two things: Get a symbol (shape) for the word and a shape to look for is "reading" a price chart. I give tasks to you in terms of how the mind works. You now have Doidge to read and learn about the mind and learning to recover from tradgic difficulties. I am trying to spring you free of the past so you can embark on mind building. I took a chance and ask you to create in the context of doing critical thinking and following a CPM or such on overlap. I am going to have to count on "overlap" as a concept in the future. We need to always try to stay on the same page. As you see lilduckling finds this too intellectual and verbose and all that kind of stuff. It is too much for him to get the relationship (in overlap terms) into his mind to use as a tool when "reading" a chart. The reward for both of us is knowing a little bit (the name of my smallest llama) about each other. I appreciate deeply that you accept doing a task. I am happy to find out how that task was habdled. for me to do the task too is helpful to anyone who tried to do the task or just understand the task. The market is something we are going to be reading. People drive cars and do not think consciously about driving the car defensively and within the rules and succeeding all of the time with zero tolerance. trading is "reading the markets". In SCT it is reading the markets with certainty and using "sufficiency" to do the reading. their are only 70 degrees of freedom and each has a vocabulary where the shape, the spatial arrangement and the movement of shapes re;ative to each other is all that is needed to read. we will have built four finite sets of subsets of elements as the MEANING OF EVERY ASPECT OF MADA. Our minds will be ABLE to read with certainty of meaning. This post "spills the beans" of SCT trading. It is why some of us trade ES using sport memory like people drive cars. The EFFECT is that a clean charts grow and bars form and other windows flow too. And it all lights up in our minds like neon all over the chart and we just trade every nickel offered as time passes. In the era of stupid use of computers, the SEC sat there and monitored multip[le accounts at large brockerages and stupidly concluded I was an inside trader uniquely insider trading every stock I traded. This amazing illogical and unique conclusion was pricelss in its stupidity of conclusion. I requested theur software through my broker but rhe legal staff would not pursue it. WHY? "Don't rock the boat we got you off" I wanted to have a laugh at their stupidity to see WTF they did to analyze accounts to draw hairbrained conclusions. here it is simple. SCT can drain any market at the rate of flow of the offer and the small capacity of the leak (the trading contract level). As few people see beginners do not trade, they just sit there and make money. Day two you appeared on the radar twice and 70 points apart. to NOT trade when it is inappropriate we need to be ABLE to read the MARKET and have in our minds the vocabulary in words (shapes) and the meaning of the words (shape) so our mind just continue to comprehend and we contiunally "know that we know". For our pleasure we will hook up a biofeedback system to assure we are reading in a parasympathetic pysio/psychological state. SCT trading turns out to be simple like reading and driving a car. BUT it is foreign to most people's heritage and those whom they socialize and work with. I will use lilduck to better explain these two foreign to each other worlds.
