Thanks for the very informative document and the re-post of the zones image. I have made notes as suggested, and will seek to cement the information provided in the document in my long-term memory by means of drills, as and when appropriate. Also, thank you for directing me to the extremely pertinent conversation in the Iterative Refinement thread regarding carryover channels and their enduring importance in achieving correct context and enabling continuity. An absent or incorrect carryover channel can skew one's entire perspective, and impact on much of the subsequent day. The last part of the drill - integrating the chart with a full and accurate log - has been taking longer than expected. In trying to encapsulate all of the information contained in the chart within the rows, I have included tape VEs and tape FTTs. But now I suspect you may only have suggested doing that for the initial rows as we were still reestablishing a dominant move in the carryover traverse. Otherwise, it would seem we have pre-empted the shaded Price column. I will post the first log sheet completed thus (with the accompanying chart segment). (n.b. lines on the chart extend behind the cover as I had proceeded onto the 2nd log page before deciding it may be prudent to seek a validation of the modus operandi before continuing further. Many thanks.) <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2176393>

It looks like you are trading today after completing a run of 1 chart 10 times to get some mind differentiation. This means you have done three drills of 10 charts each to get to this point: 1. Beginner on days 1 through 10, 2. Advanced Beginner on days 1 through 10, and 3. Beginner internals 10 times on 1 day to refine that day. I projected doing two laps on days 1 through 10 this weekend. It is only possible to do one lap on days 1 through 10 since there is only one new skill level. To complete the run on days 1 through 10 pull 4 clean print set of days one through 10 and clip each of the four sets of clean prints together. We will use the clean sets for laps on Beginner Internal, Intermediate, Advanced Intermediate and Expert. I provided the log headers for these a while back. For the last three you will also be using the YM 2 minute charts and some other aids. Collect and print the YM needed materials from your platform at your leisure so they will be available. In December you will be tading, so we need to get to that beginning point with these skills in hand and your learning three ring binders souped up. Use your cover and pull it from left to right to do days 1 through 10 on Beginner Internals skill level. Also log each day as you do it and run the "added contracts" debrief concurrently and ADD another curve to the Excel contracts curve. You will have another scale change it turns out (you have gone to the Excel forum to get using semi log graphing in hand). You can debrief today while it is syill in mind. To fill out (make it more complete and useful) the 3 ring learning binder, I need you to list all of the tabs you have so far. In each tab, we need to have a good write up that combines the topic's leading idea, a punchy, articulate, functional visual conceptualization for triggering the mind's differentiation locations and detailed write up of the skill application and illustrations of the application for each market trending possibility (3). I will do most of that work since I have it done already and all I need to do is cull and synthesize past work on various presentations, workshops and forums and threads here and elsewhere. If the list is sparse, I can fill in some other tabs you will need to have a complete set. When we get this done we will add a column to the left of MODE and call it TAB. If you can write in the tab ID, then at that time you flip to the visual on page 1 of the tab and use it to drive home what the row is about. They are friends just like your mind has names of 750 friends and acquaintancs in it for immediate recall, we will use 750 tabs sooner or later for your trading friends and acquaintances. I will give you these words in a five color assortment all cross referenced to pages in five books that form a core of how markets work. Later we will add packets of 12 additional systems and their methods and how they fit into a broad spectrum of tools and applications to classes of instruments. As you will see, there are means to advance all of these to better effectivenss and efficiency levels. Fixing and improving systems is a good intellectual drill, especially taking out the induction and inserting the null hypothesis "fixes". The pool extraction six levels of knowledge and skills is comprehensive and all money velocity ranges of performance of other systems are included in the range of the pool extraction algorithm applications and range of application of capital.
I think I'm finally logging correctly. The transition from the RTL BO to point 2 to point 3 can all be clearly identified just by reading the PV rows vertically.
