  3. here is my annotated version
    It shows my trades.

    Note that I lost on one short.

    I circled one of your X'ed volumes. Look closely and see you did not degap price.

    All bars on price MUST be degapped. TN so far cannot understand this. I will be there in Colorado Springs for 3 days after I get back from Hawaii Islands trip

    You are doing great to see the P and T's.

    we can convert them into the Pattern I posted.

  8. Yeah, maybe I am overestimating the intelligence of the crowd.

    My point is all TA has to do is increase your odds that one price will be above another within any time frame, and these binary dealers would be out of business. For some reason, TA traders must lose more than they gain or good bye FX and binary dealers who win when you lose.

  9. Fantastic resource, Mike. i was not aware of these interviews. I did a similar thing back in 2005 in print with around 50 hedgees, traders, academics and economists--- met several cats during this time that changed my life for the better....

    Thanks for making the podcasts free for everyone. Incredible and up to date knowledge base. I strongly recommend everyone listen to these chats. Completely free
