The Las Vegas Traders Expo held at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino runs November 18 - 21. I currently have plans to attend the event, and for those interested, I can plan another session - similar to the one held in NYC. However, unlike the NYC event, Jack Hershey plans on attending and presenting. I have tentatively scheduled time for Friday (November 20) morning, and have cleared the remainder of the day. Should enough people show an interest in attending, we can do the same thing as we did in NYC (presentations, lunch, drinks, etc.)

 

In order to keep this thread on topic, anyone with an interest should send me a PM and include a contact email address (just like we did last time) in order to facilitate the exchange of information, and so I can provide additional details moving forward.

 

Additional details as we move closer to November.

It would be fun to see all of us back thgether.

Questions about tape-level gaussians:

 

In the attachment, the period from 10-10:30 is annotated as r2r2b2b, which is not a valid sequence. Should the r2r2b be one 'r' instead?

 

Does the tape @ 13:30 really start at 13:00? How would folks in this group handle it?

 

Any input will be appreciated.

I have been skimming the thread and, as one may suspect, i missed a lot of the nuances of what was being taught or presented. Before, I go back and attempt to truly follow a long, I am wondering if anyone has ths far been abe to adapt any or all of the imformation on the thread to live trading.

 

Is this like EW with volume analysis or something like that?

 

I would appreciae anyone's insight.

Thank you so much. Isn't gaussian for a down tape have a red gaussian up to lowest point of down tape? Or is that only the case when the down tape is in the dominant direction? Since the down tape here is in the non-dominant direction gaussian is therefore down to lowest point?

 

Is IRV=increased red volume? and is IBV=increased black volume?

 

Thank you!

What are the correct gaussian formation between 14:20pm and end of day?

With deepest respect and utmost friendliness, but I can't help not noticing how remarkably persistent you are in continually denying yourself all available data from the market. May I recommend a review of Spydertrader's posts here and elsewhere that specifically mention the word 'Gap'?

That is my shorthand, yes. :)

 

With regards to gaussians (regardless of fractal) - Think about where troughs occur in the gaussian formation.

 

R2R 2B 2R - 2 troughs occur in this sequence

and conversely

B2B 2R 2B - 2 troughs here as well

 

Also Recall, Price does not indicate the end of a trend (on any fractal)... The Volume sequences DO.

A word of encouragement for those that may need it.

 

A few weeks ago Spyder gave us a channel drill. Without question, it was a daunting task. I have worked, reworked, and re-reworked those areas for weeks. At times I thought I would lose my mind. At times I thought Spyder was full of s**t. (no offense....;)) Admittedly, I am a workaholic when it comes to these charts...days, nights, and weekends too. I tried to invent things which have not been taught. (Some actually worked....sometimes.)

 

The good news is that I persisted and finally, somehow, had a serious breakthrough. Who knew the answer to my fractal jumping issues could have been so simple. In my particular case, I was unaware that laterals were causing me to jump fractals...a lot. So it took a while to realize the problem and find the solution.

 

I am thankful and so relieved that I can now work every chart in the channels perfectly, as well as every other chart I've examined. Spyder challenged us to find a solution which could be applied to any and all charts. I believe I have done that. Nothing is needed beyond price and volume. Nothing.

 

So I am writing to suggest to others; those who may have most of the puzzle pieces but are still missing some critical element....work the channel drill until you find the answers. Once you find the solutions the charts will become crystal clear almost overnight.

Hi Jhon

Thank you for your post. Could you provide some current ES charts to illustrate how Laterl makes you jumping fractals? TIA

Hi NYCMB,

 

How I was previously interpreting the gaussians in lateral areas might be quite different from annotation issues others might or might not have. The point of my post was not to suggest that laterals represent a problem for other folks, but rather to encourage those who are still struggling to not give up on the channel drill. I learned a lot from the drill, of which laterals was a very important element for me.

While many of the plans and agenda items continue to take shape with respect to The Las Vegas Traders Expo, I wanted to take a moment and ensure I have included all those individuals with an interest in attending. To date, I have 23 names ....

 

sscott, ptunic, moz, innersky, rs5, ramora, double eagle, stepan7, gooch87, ehorn, icarus618, ph11l1p, yazdgatsby, stevecs314, treeline, ezzy, romanus, neoxx, Avi-8, Liz, Jack Hershey, Spydertrader, and Mikeytrader

 

If, for whatever reason, you do not see your name on the list, but do have an interest in attending the event, kindly send me a PM via this web site, and I'll forward you some information. If, for whatever reason, you do see your name on the above list, but have not received an email or PM from me, please check your email inbox and / or your PM inbox. The information you seek, should be waiting for you. If, however, you have previously sent me a PM, but have yet to receive any information (after checking your email and PM), then, most likely, this is a result of me not having your email address. Kindly send me your email address, and I'll return the favor promptly.

 

Some additional information ....

 

We attempted to grab a large block of rooms at a reduced rate for the time period, but due to a very large 'Gamers Convention' being held in the Gaming Capital of the World, well, we understand the hotels / casinos know what side of their bread is buttered. :rofl:

 

Anyhow, for those still looking for a place to stay within walking distance of The Expo and our event, The Excalibur and The Tropicana fit the bill nicely - as well as several other locations around the strip. You may want to stay within walking distance.

 

With respect to our November 19th event, we still have a few additional details to iron out, but everyone should find the day both educational and entertaining. The day will (tentatively) last about 10 hours, and will include all the fun stuff from NYC.

 

In terms of content, information pertinent to Equities Traders and Futures Traders will be included in both Jack and my presentations. I have also 'baked into the cake' plenty of time for Q and A.

 

More details to follow .....

    • Agreed since some of the new traders usually lose money in start and some loses more while chasing their lost money and eventually ends up blaming to their brokers part.
    • The crypto market are also in phase of maturing like the forex and other trading assets so we can do much more accurate analysis than before since early days it was purely a luck if the investments in crypto bears results because most of the coins or tokens never come to fruition. Some early birds were also able to make profits on these tokens or coins. e,g., like turtle coin starts with 1 satoshi and go up to 7 sathoshis, quite good rewards. another token lmgx now hovering at 10 started from 1, 
    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
