Hi Ezzy,

 

Thanks a lot for posting the videos and far more important, in keeping them all this time.

 

Can you just briefly mention what's the difference between this set and the earlier set that you posted. Were both of the 2 sets made around the same time with the same group of people ?

 

Btw, I found that downloading each one at a time is more stable than trying to download a few all at once.

 

TQVM.

 

The first set posted were recorded over a weekend in Tucson, Jan '07 with Jack and Spyder, except for the "Putting the Pieces Together" which was from an '06 Meetup. The Meetups were an IBD type group that Jack ran for a short while. (Do something, Learn something, Share something, Change something - Meetup.com)

 

The above set is the rest of the '07 Meetups that were posted at the time, plus a couple older videos on channels. When I finish sorting through the '06 Meetups, I'll post the relevant ones, not all of them were Hershey meetings.

 

Regards,

 

EZ

Below is the series of Meetups recorded in 2006. They are mostly on stocks and using indicators.

 

There is also an audio of Spydertrader from the Jan 25, 2007 Tucson Meeetup

 

The last two are documents everyone should have already read, if not this is where you start. If you haven't read them before and don't understand what the "scoring" is, some of the information presented in the videos won't make any sense.

 

Note: The "Putting the Pieces Together" Camtasia posted for Oddi on the 26th (last one in the group) belongs with this 2006 series. It was done on 6-22-2006.

My middle fractal gaussians ...

 

I am wondering why your middle fractals do not match the original gaussians you have drawn ? Appreciate if you comment further.

 

Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting.

That volume snippet (first post) was taken from MKTr's chart with no modification, and I wanted to show that just looking at volume the gaussians he's drawn don't quite match the volume picture. The second post shows for comparison his gaussians and mine. This is why they don't match. I should've been more explicit.

I'm trying to analyze the daily ES chart. Could someone help me out and explain which one of these possible choices is in effect - and WHY???

 

the LOW of today (7/20) is:

 

- a pt3 of a long (pt1 on 7/6)

 

- a pt2 of a short( pt1 on 7/15)

 

OR

 

- a pt1 of a new long (also FTT of a short)

- a pt1 of a new long (also FTT of a short)

 

On my charts, the market creates the low of 7-20-2010 on bar one (9:35 AM Eastern Time [and close of ES 5 minute Bar]). If your charts show the same, you might consider rephrasing your question. Also, if you choose to rephrase, consider adding context (tape point one, traverse point one, channel point one), else you might receive a yes answer to your questions, but interpret the yes answer in a way not entirely intended.

 

FYI: The why portion will be, "because the order of events of the specific fractal in question reached completion, and provided a signal for change."

 

HTH.

Thanks for the feedback. I was on the fence about that period (and many others on yesterday's chart!) but in particular those bars, changed my mind several times :)

 

I wasn't entirely convinced with the mode of those bars:

 

15:35 [close of] : decreasing red volume , mode: long

15:40 : increasing red volume -- but lower volatility (almost half the bar size). mode: long

15:45 : increasing red volume -- but bar is in flat bottom pennant : mode long

15:50 : increasing red volume -- but bar is outside bar, bar closes inside prev bar. mode: long

15:55 : increasing red volume -- but end of day effects starting, also closes inside prev bar, also almost spike bar -- mode: long

 

That said, totally agree, focusing at the volume it is clearly increasing red, and maybe after several bars of that it is enough to be more of a factor than whether bars are closing inside the previous bar etc. Sounds like my test for dominance is a bit too strict. thx :)

I tried to download some of the videos on pages 196 and 198, but I couldn't get to the

download page. Does anyone know if those files are still availabe on FileDropper?

Thanks.

It does look like they're going away. If you don't mind a slow download, I've created a torrent of the files. I've attached the .torrent file in a .zip. This will take some time because it's over 5.1 gigabytes and I throttle my uploads to 50 KB/sec. But it should work and if anyone else participates, it should work better. When you get it, you should seed it so others can get it too. Please, let me know if you have any problems. I've never actually tried this before. :)

Looks like they already took them down. If/when I get it resolved I'll let everyone know.

Hi all, I have a chart and some thoughts I was hoping to get some advice/opinions on if anyone is willing. :)

 

Lately I have been doing fairly decent (still a long journey ahead) at my MADA. At times, several days or even a week or two can go by with each gap-adjusted day flowing right into the next as expected. Of course it remains to be seen if this is actually improvement or just strings of luck where my mistakes are not obviously proven wrong by the market lol.

 

Then there are the times where a string of days is working perfectly followed by something that invalidates some or all of the previous days. Monday 8/2 ended the most recent string. :crap:

 

So, I thought to post a chart of Friday 7/30 with my thoughts at the time of what the market was building and what was to come.

 

I had thought the market was building a down channel starting on 7/28 bar 2. The first Traverse of this channel had several VE/Zone/Acc which I know are generally what lead to my MADA failing. But anyway, I ended the first Traverse on 7/30 bar 2/3. At this point I am building a non-dominant Traverse headed to Pt 2 of the down channel. This seemed to work out well through EOD 7/30, but of course 8/2 makes a gap-adjusted new high over my Channel Pt 1.

 

Possible places I went wrong:

 

1. There was no down Channel starting on 7/28.

 

2. There was a Channel there and I screwed the Traverses during all the VE's causing the Channel/Traverses to end sooner than I expected.

 

3. The market was doing something compeletly different and through luck of multiple errors I ended up with something that just "looked" right. Failure is always an option!

 

Please feel free to give advice on where I screwed up these last few days. I really hope the point of failure can be pinpointed (if my MADA was anywhere close) so that I can go about working out the "whys" with some surety I am in the ballpark.

 

Attached is a chart of Friday, as this was the last day everything seemed to fit perhaps the error lies here?

 

Ugh, re-reading this it seems to ramble.

 

To be specific with my questions: Do you think that a down Channel started 7/28? Do you think 7/30 was an up Traverse?

 

Thanks very much for any guidance you can give!

Have you looked at a de-gapped chart for the last ~10 days, or at least starting with 7/26?

Yes, and starting the down Channel on the peak of the 26th would fit nicely. I had the 26th as pt2 of an up Channel and I have looked at that up Channel several times and it seemed correct...but it never occurred to me that my mistake might be further back than that :doh:

 

I guess the reason I didn't want to look beyond the 28th for the mistake was that everything from 7/16 onwards just "worked". Bad case of tunnel-vision.

 

I will work my way backwards tonight, hopefully without the blinders on.

 

Thank you very much for the tip!

    • there is no avoiding loses to be honest, its just how the market is. you win some and hopefully more, but u do lose some. 
    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare. And they happen only once in a blue moon. That’s exactly why it’s important to notice when the conditions start to look familiar.   Not after the move. Not once it's on CNBC.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
