Good evening all,

I have been attempting to learn this method for a while. This newest thread really resonates with me. I have limited resources due to my day job but feel I can finally show where I am at with my learning how to learn in search of feedback. I anticipate a lot of errors but seek to find a way to contribute (and learn more). I have not previously posted because, so far, every answer is out there somewhere or in a chart.

This is my hack at 12 Oct 2009 on 5 minute ES. Any feedback is welcome.

Thank you to Jack, Spyder and many others for their generosity and patience.

Correction, my hack at 13 Oct 2009.

Feedback on the presentation.
I really enjoyed posting the pdf.
So many things to know. . . and I was looking for answers on what to call a tape, or faster fractal taverse, and still be on the same page as everyone.
I posted questions here not that long ago based on that.

So really all the material in the pdf did was take everything we have done already, and nothing new at all ( build a faster fractal from what we called tapes,
FF building a traverse, traverse builds a channel) and try to give some of these segments a name that I, and at times others question. ( traverse or tape ? no longer faster fractal ? and the tapes that built the FF ?)

I know the " goat ".

It was very recently within the past few weeks Jack mentioned in a quote what he built a channel from, and the names he gave the segments ( bbt, tape, traverse ). It was great to see there was a way everyone could be on the same page.
So it was something I felt could be animated in a few pages and post for all to view it as JH quoted.
I wish it to be helpful. Please know I have studied everything the past few years here and know the same material as everyone. ( after missing NYC probably less ! )
This was a great way to begin to help everyone so we may be on the same page when discussing the price volume relationship.
I did not create these names in any way, they originated from JH and his quote was re-posted here http://www.traderslaboratory.com/for...html#post77657

So I cannot take credit for the terminology, but it would have been cool to come up with all of this.
Hope you enjoyed it.

Since you work a 'day job' you might want to take a 'test drive' of Trade Navigator. The software has a 'playback' function which allows the learrning trader to view the market 'tic-by-tic' as it develops throughout the trading day, but viewed "Live" at the trader's convenience - instead of during live market hours. You should be able to obtain a free trial for these purposes.

As far as your efforts go with respect to chart annotations, I have a few comments for you: Focus in on how Gaussians must operate, and how all the pieces fit together. Also, make sure your 'carryover' trend lines accurately reflect the current market dynamic. Lastly, with respect to your 'chart notes,' consider using a darker color - making your notes easier to read and easier for others to provide you feedback.

I feel it very wise to set goals. Instead of a 'profit goal' (as most new traders set) you have chosen to set 'transference goals." Continue to do so in an effort to improve knowledge, skills and experience.

Keep up the great work.

Spyder,

Thanks for the response.

Here is my AM effort for today. Improvement (I believe) but still a long way to go. I am also working on MADA. I can tell I am often premature in 'deciding'.

Goat herders aren't much for picking nits, so I don't think they will care.

Good trading to you.

I mentioned that book because you make a comment about Mandelbrot in your original set of articles. The author claims to be a close friend of Mandelbrot and a big fan of his work. I'll crawl back into my goat cave now.
