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 .....

    • Date: 23rd April 2024. European PMIs Paint Mixed Picture, ECB advise a June Cut is Certain. The German DAX recorded its highest monthly increase as investors continue to predict a weaker EU monetary policy. JP Morgan again advised stocks are overcrowded and may see a stronger downward correction. However, economists advise this is only possible if geo-political tension escalates or companies fail to beat earnings predictions. Gold witnesses its strongest decline in 2024 falling 2.64% on Monday and a further 1.32% during this morning’s Asian session. The Euro is the best performing currency after the day’s PMI releases. However, investors should note that the US Dollar during the Asian session was performing significantly better. USA500 – Visa and Tesla Ready Shareholders For Earnings Release! The SNP500 rose 0.87% during the US trading session and also broke the previous swing high. However, JP Morgan again told journalists there are signs that the stock market is “overcrowded”. When institutions are overexposed to certain stocks or industries, it only takes one big fund to start de-levering and then others will follow. Though, investors should note that this would also depend on three factors. The first is earnings, the second is geo-political tensions and the third is inflation. This week, investors will largely watch earnings, particularly Visa and Tesla. Visa and Tesla currently hold a weight of 2.00% and are two of the most influential stocks. Tesla continues to be one of the worst performing stocks, but Visa’s earnings are less certain. Visa has beat earnings and revenue expectations over the past 4 occasions but has been struggling over the past 30 days. Analysts expect earnings and revenue to remain at the same level compared to the previous quarter. However, higher earnings can potentially increase demand. Visa stocks have risen 5.20% in 2024 and have a dividend yield of 0.76%. However, as mentioned above, the performance of the stock market will largely depend also on inflation and geo-political tensions. Though these are not likely to change within the upcoming days. In regard to inflation, investors will be eager to see if inflation again rises, in which case, interest rate cuts will likely not be possible for 2024. If this scenario materialises, stocks can decline between 20-30% ($3,700-$4,220). GER30 – ECB Ready To Cut Rates In June 2024! On a 2-hour timeframe the price of the GER30 is trading above the 75-Bar EMA and above the VWAP. In addition to this, the asset is obtaining buy signals also from oscillators and price action. The index has retraced since the release of the European PMI data, but if the price rises above 18,067, without breaking the day’s low price, buy signals will become active. One of the key drivers, along with this morning’s PMI release for Germany and France, is the latest comments from members of the ECB. According to ECB representative Mr Villeroy, even if oil remains volatile, the regulator will look to cut in June 2024. In addition to Mr Villeroy, Mr De Guindos told journalists that a rate cut in June is “crystal clear”. The guidance given is increasing the demand for the German DAX as are indications of stronger economic data. The French PMI data saw the Services index rise above 50.00 for the first time since May 2023 and beat expectations. However, the manufacturing index continues to struggle and fell compared to the previous month. The German PMI was a similar picture. The Services PMI rose to a 10-month high and beat expectations, but the Manufacturing Index read lower than the 42.8 expectations and is at a 6-month low. Always trade with strict risk management.
