    Christ, what an ungrateful dick.

    Mav's earned his place and has been doing us all a favor.

    INFP here. Oddly enough, most the best traders I've sat next to have been NFs. Although not sure about some -- could get some NTs in there.

  2. Quote from baggerlord.

    "It can also help show if certain products are worth trading or if specific trades are worth taking. IE on SPY it shows me that breakouts from the open are worth trading if you get in at a certain point before it has moved too far."

    This also works in FX. Do your homework fellas, and this will most definitely work out for you.

  3. INTJ here. And a pretty extreme one. Interestingly once i had already entered the SF pipeline I learned that the majority of guys I know already SF qualified are INTJ too, even though it is only 1% of general population.

    I think it is cool to find a job where certain traits are strengths whereas in most other areas of society they are considered negative traits, and maybe even a diagnosable disorder. Makes life more pleasant. :)

    And Mav please write a book. You might be suprised by how much time I have spent searching and reading your posts.

    But I did not want to say that to him. That kind of language for me is restricted to the basement, 2nd level.

    Up here I am understanding and conciliatory :D

  5. Daily chart too gappy for me, so I switched to weekly.

    Had I followed this, using ACD, first week in Oct gave me a signal using RCG, I would have put in the pivot range for that week. THEN I would switch to the daily charts. My rules would not have let me in until Oct 20th. I did not calculate the the exact A up, but price action shows me that I would be long. Also, I would need to do some studies to find out at what point price is likely to continue to move my way on the weekly charts before I entered the trade.

    Haha, true, you are quite right. P&R's the place for that.

  8. It is my signal generator. My system. Mav has his, Samsara has his, you have yours. I just named mine.

    Edit: And every trader on here should name their signal generator. It will clarify things. MF named his method, so it can be explained. You should do the same with your signal generator.

    Thanks
    Interesting, I did not see a shorter OR as having a better RR for my breakout method, basically breakouts work when volatility is high enough in given instrument.

    Volatility being key with respect to breakout IMO then which direction to take.

    So Instrument first, Entry exits money management. What I can say is Nat Gas is not working for now, what is working I have not found yet
