  1. from that quote i assume you don't have drawdowns.... your equity line is a perfect 45º slope straight line...

    As fow Winton, here it goes:

    December 2009 : -2.45% YTD 2009: -4.6%

    January 2010: - 2.6%

  2. Because it doesn't look like there's a formation there, it looks to me like the red ibgs bar made higher high.

  3. So you don't annotate lateral movement? Fair enough...I don't annotate formations or movement. But why start a lateral on the pt 3 of your thick black container? Laterals go from pt2 to pt 3 of some fractal. don't they?

  4. I do, but only those that begin with formation

    Because the market created one there.

    Some of them do and some of them don't - I am not sure if I understand your question.

    Mr. Black,

    you guys seem to use fixed targets and stops? How are they determined- from the chart or are they just a fixed amount, such as 20 ticks...?

    Than,s.

  8. You claimed a profit target of 1.357 and this chart didn't even hit that target. So, how in the world can you claim that you just obtained a +20 point profit?

  9. when you enter long@1.3545 and you exit@1.3565.... 1.3565-1.3545=0.0020

  10. Yes. I would agree with you if you wouldn't have said that your original target wasn't at 1.357 (not 1.3565).
