From 1987??! Man, the markets have changed radically since those days. How many are in the newest market wizards? surf
Thanks for posting. I missed your post. My bad. I did catch a post at the time of bar 36. From bar 8 to bar 12, there was some trend building going on. I was just sitting there working and my position was short. my bookmark caused me to restart my annotating. For the short, effectively the geometry points on price got moved to the right in time. i think traders have concerns about making money. Occasionally, I have read some traders expressing concern about taking losses. I really do not bother with taking losses. Here is what happened for me (How my mind works). I have a list of End Effects. I have an RDBMS for continuation. To properly trade I have an order of events that is an umbrella for trends. It told me I was in a short trend. this trend OOE tells me to check for EE's in the trend. I didn't see any that occurred on my list. So they did not occur. next I looked at the OOE of the categories of the primary and secondry. there wre only primary categories: PI'1 and a T1. I would be looking for a P2 or another P1. Bars 13 had a book mark after it became a non internal. It was long in orientation at a time when I was looking for a point 2 as shown on clean page 4. I was looking for the volume equivalent of the point 2 as well. I was sort of relaxed since I had made 50% of my daily amount for doubling capital every 3 to 4 days in 10 accounts. I then started to do my test procedure for the bar category. Part one ws checking for a repeat. failure there. The bar was big (biggest of he day) and it was black and not an IBGS. All this was off topic so I forgot about it. I started through paet 2 of the category test procedure. By checking the reverse chron order I found a potential for a P1 and there had to be a reason to use P1 since a P1 after a T1 is not gated ordinarily. I found the gate in the flow sheet of the logic. I use about five three rings that are topical functionally speaking. So I check out my system on each bar to be sure the system is accurate. One feature of systems is that they are "fail safe". All systems have to have "fail safe" particulars. So flippping to long and then a little later flipping to short is what can happen if you have a complete system and it is fail safe. Bars 13 and 14 became a restart for the short. Bookmarking makes it possible as you contribute. to add a little flavor and make a point baro san keeps notable; I went long on 21 and did the quickie short on the OB, bar 24. As the PACE of the market went into midday, wrapped up the three moves of the short by having traded the subs of this short fractal you brought up. Once a person gets over the knee of the learning curve, then about nothing is unsettling. Here in ET at this time you see a real cast of characters that are impervious to learning and they won't do it at any cost. Today the entery and first reversal did 1/2 the job; interstingly the last reversal and the exit did the other half of the job. the trades mentioned above are just examples of how thick the icing is on the cake we bake.
Markets still go up and down, no? Not really interested in entering this discussion as it`s the equivalent of discussing economics with a communist. I just answered a question that was asked. That is all.
