    DING DING DING!!!

    We got a winner.

    Current presentation of SCT is too complicated (read:CONFUSING) for newbies.

    Start simple then add incremental layers of refinement.

    Focus on the big time frame first, then slowly work down through successive time frames applying the same channeling technique to each newly created sub channel.

    What's being taught now is the most advanced form of channeling (seamless continual trading) which in reality, should be presented last as it demands the highest attention to detail and contextual experience. Very difficult for a green horn to cut their teeth on - let alone, get a 'feel' for what the strat is all about.

    I'm sure there's a reason for this and I'd be quite curious to know what that is....

    Either way - a big and hearty THANK YOU to jack and his a team for taking the time. For without which I would have obliviously strolled on by without paying a second thought


    Thanks guys.

    That is a direct result of Jack's ego, he could explain it with clarity and brevity if he chose, but he would not sound quite so esoteric and exotic to mindless devotees... he's a word wanker

    I agree in the sense he's overly verbose. But jack opened my eyes so I respect his approach.

    At its most fundamental level, all that's being taught here is dow theory, suuport and resistence and trendlines and channels. That's it. But it works.

    Of course it works but his ego and drivel have found a way to make it inaccessible

  5. Prove it! We want to see execution reports. You could be living in a trailer park and posting from an internet cafe <rant>... :D

    As to your previous post, yes, there is a recognition that beginners should stay on the "forest" level. This is not the fault of the teachers at all - trying to transfer knowledge across the web is like herding cats (no catfish allowed either). No harm, no foul.

    A reminder of the rules:

    It's really not that complicated.

    If you get angry, especially in trading, you are hurting yourself. Anger disturbs your calm wise ability to function at your best.
    Thus when you trade you miss important signs or see things that are not there. You also misjudge news, and other input because your attention is focused on anger and not on calm observation.

    As I have said many times, emotion has no place in trading. Anger is a wicked attitude that helps you self destruct if you keep it up. You are not a bull in the ring charging a human with a red cape. If you see red in forex for any reason, or in any other trading, better become a hermit. At least as a hermit anger will not make you loose your money. Here is the best advice I can give you about anger and trading. Trust no broker-use them. Observe, observe, observe. Learn all you can calmly. Most important-love yourself completely and honestly. You are a great being and only you can love yourself as you are without any judgement towards yourself.

    Create good luck. Attitude is everything.

    Are you sure you aren't talking about the SCT posts of yore, like "Questions for Grob" etc? In the new futures journal, Spyder/Jack/Mak et al have taken GREAT pains to simplify the learning process. The first month is just ES, price, volume, and channels. The second and third month is the YM. The fourth month is STR/SQU. Etc. Every month a new layer is added. And what we are doing does not even come close to touching SCT ground until probably the very end of this year. Your post really confused me, and I'm pretty sure you haven't seen what's being done. You should stop by sometime, or check out the digest :) <a href="http://pr0crast.com/hershey/ET/spyfut.vol1.zip">download</a>
