I got one from some one named "taskyneem".

I'm so glad Obama didn't go into the kitchen after his acceptance speech.

Mine was from 'prahkjapati"

Yes, much more. What I had in mind that might be a help to you in translating the subjective fear/greed combo into an objective display of P/V was the section on Ws.

You might take the extra step and inquire about db's e-book, since you're collecting books anyway. I'm sure you'll find your own answers to your questions there. Just a thought.

Seeing as how Al was only 4 nm off the coast of his departure point where the “rescue” took place, and he was only 2 and a half days out from the start of his journey, a competent sailor would conclude that Al violated one of the most basic rules of the sea. Chose your weather window wisely. Old, bold sailors don't exist – for long.

Gassah, If you don't mind, could I get you to clarify a few points on EOD trading? Or at least your take on it. Are you using daily price bars for your set-up? And Entry? And Exit? Or perhaps you are using the dailies for set-up and something like hourly for entry and exit? Are you placing orders for the EOD stuff after hours, and then checking the end of the following day to see if there was an execution? Are your entries based on braking the range of the end of a previous price bar? If so, do you have tactics to deal with an opening gap in the direction of your entry, which puts you into the market at an unfavorable price? For instance, the stock set-up price range is 45 to 50, you place an after hours order to buy at 50.10, the stock opens at 54 and triggers your order at or around that price (54), but then closes for the day at say 51. Thanks

Question to the Mods - Thyread Placement
cantana replied to GammaJammer's topic in Announcements and Support
I now see it. -
Thanks for looking into the “open” thingy for me db. My original thought on it was similar to Erie's – maybe geared towards investors. But as I learned more about W, I realized that he was pretty consistent with his day trading reference, which seemed to contradict the investors assumption. The reason that the range and close only thing caught my eye to begin with, is that under my current restraints of only having the EOD information on US based markets to go on to come up with some sort of entry and exit tactics, I thought there might have been some sort of message in there I was missing. Again, thanks to all who responded to my question.

Concerning the charts at the end of the PDF “Determining the trend of the Market”. These price bars has the “close” only, no “open” hash mark. For some reason W felt the open was not an important piece of information, or at least not important enough to record it. So I'm thinking to myself, Why wasn't the “open” price important? It might be that, at the time there was not the gamesmanship of gaping the opening price outside the previous days range, resulting in triggering the EOD orders at an unfavorable price. Or, Maybe, a open price, had no importance to the overall story the market is telling? Anyway, I know the “opening” price is significant to a modern day traders plan of action, Maybe the “open” is not so important to EOD traders?

A little late on this, but.. I've always found that a glance to the left on a chart, will alert me to important price points. A horizontal line from the low of the opening bar, carried across to the right shows that, that price area was important 3 previous times before a break of your supply line. That price point turned out to be important one more time on your chart.

Blog: How to categorize blog entries
cantana replied to cantana's topic in Announcements and Support
Perfect! Thank you. -
Hello guys, Dose anyone know it there is a tutorial for the Blog section other than the FAQ? If there is, can you show me where its at? Specifically, I want to know how to categorize blog entries. That is, if I'm allowed to even do it. I figured out how to create a category, But I don't know how to link an entry to it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I wonder if, considering an entry during a climax, he would hold on into a retest? Or maybe he was planing to staying in only as long as it turned out to be a V bottom? I don't see how entering at the climax would be advantages otherwise. I'm just thinking about the “poke” effect on a W
