... there is a schmuck in the group i trade with...
... apparently he is following this journal, simply due to the comment made by thalestrader about "unintelligibility"
... hilarious... ;0)
... if i was visiting someone else's journal, and i wanted something, i would just politely ask for it... instead of using some sarcasm and 3rd person form of address.
... anyone is welcome to contribute, as long as it is done politely.

... i guess smart people tend to be dumb asses when it comes to being polite.

... about wednesday..
.. as i said "don't bother" due to strong trend.

the reason is this.
.. you can see that the move exceeded 10 points..
29.25 es... to 41 es

so.. while you could still survive...using a 3 point stop
.. the pullback offered you very little opp for gain

another reason for "don't bother" in this case
is that once you know it is a strong trend, it is often too late
... so let's say you go with the flow on the retrace to 38.25, and get in in the direction of the trend.

... well sure you can get the break out for continuation... but there was not enough time left.
... so if you wanted to hold for another 10 point move, you would have to take on the added risk of holding over night.

..so.. to sum up... once you have determined that the trend is strong, either don't trade.. or fade the system
... by waiting for a small pullback around the 10 point mark, and getting in in the direction of the trend if there is time left

stop used should be at least 2 points, preferably 3 points
... and more than one contract is also preferable due to the ability it allows you to take some off at 3 points gain or 6.5 points gain, and let the rest battle it out for the full 10 point move

[elovemer]

... if you went long on wednesday on the pullback to 38.25
... then you have to just be a hard ass and hold on over night if you want to go for a full ten point move to 47.25--48.25
... i say hard ass... because it means you also have to hold on through that pullback at the close which ate up half of your gain from your entry on the small pullback
.. i would venture that had there been enough time left in the session, it might have continued on to 47--48 without all that hulabaloo... you never know

... a note on the system, my rule of thumb is .... if it goes 3 points from the turn, then it could go more.. be it 6.5 or even 9--10
... another note... if you are using a 3 point stop... you can see that trading multiple contracts is a big plus when trying to get (profitably) over this 3 point distance from the turn on the remaining contracts... whether you see one unit as being 10 contracts or 1 contract you get the idea

I think the issue at hand is that you are saying just ask a question and you will be glad to help; but when a few have asked for charts you say you can't do that. The TL servers run just fine the majority of the time so the issue is taking a screenshot and then uploading. If you use something like snagit, this process takes about 2-3 minutes from start to finish. A little longer if you really want to detail your screenshot.

So I would suggest you either:

1) Tell people that you have no desire to help out other than the numbers you post
2) Tell people you are willing to help and then do it, which includes screenshots

Maybe you didn't notice, but the requests so far have pretty much been - post screenshots. That is what your audience is asking for, your choice if you want to oblige.

... thanks Browns... for being my interpreter...
... yeah.. it's up to me... as i have said already repeatedly

... when i posted screen shots with explanation of the method... on page 5, in response to your request to do so... there were no questions about it
... and as i have already said, i will post screen shots when i feel like it
... unless anyone has a specific request which is made politely without sarcasm
.... don't need or want an audience...as this thread is for myself

... i would prefer to interact with individuals who are both respectful and polite ... if those individuals have any requests for pics or explanation then i am happy to oblige
.... if those other individuals who would like to pop in and clutter this with sarcastic *hints* instead of just asking exactly what they want... they can just take a hike as far as i am concerned.
... how about this.... i will do what i want... take it or leave it
... no more comments about this

... and yes... as i have said, i will be posting more screen shots than before... to oblige those who appreciate them
[QUOTE=brownsfan019;86404]I think the issue at hand is

[elovemer]

...my last comment on this...
..just to clarify... i never said "i can't do that"
.. i am saying I WON'T DO THAT... for smart asses.
... anyone else, i am very happy to oblige
...see this is why i don't have any interest in posting a tutorial style thing here...
... because it just attracts smart asses (i am not referring to you Browns)
...any more comments about what i should or should not be doing... will be ignored...
...keep in mind... this is for me... not others

... anyone who has any specific request.... will be obliged at my discretion.... thanks :0)

... here is a screen shot of nothing
... just showing where the long signal would come in from this 45 high pivot
...pretty basic .. right ? right.
... high 45... long at 36--35 .... 3 point stop... simple

.... if this is too confusing... then just look at your own chart... as i have said...
... and go back over a month or so ... 5m charts.... and measure all the 9-10 point moves
... that is the best way to get this... not by looking at my screen shots

...edit... one more note about this chart
... where would the next short signal occur ?
.. for me... i would start from 38.25.... until 48.25

.. unless.....
.. you can see that the AH low pivot is 41 ... if this make a double bottom there... then i would start from there
41....51
.... why ? i don't know.
but i would forget about 38.25..48.25 ... and i would instead watch 41...51
... might it pullback at 48.25.. instead of at 51 ?.... yes it might. it also might never make it to 48.25

... should one be shorting ? or going with the trend now ?
... that is really up to the individual

... should one distinguish between globex signals and rth signals ?
... or do they merge together ?
... i don't know any good way to answer this.
.... sometimes in rth , it will turn on a signal which started during globex and never make it to the rth signal level
.... sometimes it will go a bit beyond a globex signal ... too far.... and then come back up to form a perfect rth only signal
