Most slacklining youtube videos show people using safety lines, Dean Potter doesn't bother with them: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaqlM7W1HNI&feature=related]‪Extreme Highliner‬‏ - YouTube[/ame]

Don't waste your time with VSA.

Yes Rande why is it that you choose to use your real name on an anonymous forum? If you had remained anonymous then you wouldn't have to run to your lawyer every time you are criticised. I guess it would be difficult to direct punters to your paid for services if you remained anonymous.

The Tour is just around the corner... 60mph down hill on a road bike with cars coming in the opposite direction...no thanks!

Tim Like the blog. Do I detect a Tim Ferriss influence? TradeRunner

You missed out the qualification: consistent basis

You trade news releases because "that is were the action is", but then you complain about book sweeping? Can you post some charts showing "book sweeping" events that didn't occur during news releases?

Well it sure is a load off knowing that our trading failures has nothing to do with us and can all be blamed on HFT!

Does a 1min, 5min, 15min from 2004 and before look any different to a chart from today? Yes - please post some examples showing the difference No - what skills have been superceded?

Cool - what do I win or will I have to make do with the satisfaction of beating thales? (Thanks for calculating this Cory)

There was thread on another trading forum that experimented with drawing random lines on a chart and looked to see if the market "appeared" to react to them. Search for "Random Line Theory" and you will find it. A few people just didn't get it or didn't want to accept it.

Thanks Mysticforex. Did you get to see The Doors live? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ee9Mqr0bdE]YouTube - the doors- love me two times- live 1968[/ame]

Hi Steve How are you identifying your S&D nodes? I've looked at the charts you have been posting and I can't see the pattern. TradeRunner

You have enough money to last you a life time and fund the life style that you require with enough to spare to pass on to you loved ones etc. So you just don't need to trade to make money. Would you still trade? It would be a no for me.

Really? I always though that it was more of an skill than something you could learn in 30 minutes. For example you could be a exceptional violinist (have spent years practising) and not get very teaching me to play it in 30 minutes.

He was long during the flash crash: Don Miller Trading Journal: Thursday Notes - There's No Crying in Trading Don Miller Trading Journal: The Weekend Trader - Continued Crash Autopsy Don Miller Trading Journal: The Weekend Trader Part 3 - Learning From Tylenol He has also blogged about other bad days: Don Miller Trading Journal: Wouldn't You Know It Don Miller Trading Journal: The Weekend Trader (Saturday Edition) And this is one of my favourite entry showing a scatter graph of his trading sequences: Don Miller Trading Journal: The Weekend Trader - The Big Picture To me he comes across as being genuine guy who is interested in showing what being a trader is really like and that is pretty unique from what I have seen.

Right at the start of the video he shows the overnight session. When he starts trading he switches the 2min chart to show RTH. He has a range defined on the 5min chart.

he is promoting his dvds he is promoting his course - although these are not run very frequently he wants to raise money for his good causes he wants to recreate the format of the poker tv programs. I doubt you would become a good poker player after just watching "High Stakes Poker" for example he likes these type of projects e.g. creating the web sites etc it is a popular request from his blog readers My opinion is that this is a bad idea for people finding their feet. In my opinion this is the difficult part to learn. After all he has been trading the ES from 10 years. Have you looked at DBPhoenix posts? He also uses $TICK and $TICK divergences to time his entries

ok......................................

Didn't he explain this right at the start of the video (and also the title of the episode)? He talks about the overnight market rhythm: range bound market, series of tails, trades are taken on the assumption that this will continue early in the session. What other information did you want?

How would you have used this resource when you started out?

He doesn't look at his P&L during the day These video are provided for interest not teaching The trading commentary has been added latter He doesn't use stops If the market goes against him he often delays exiting until there is a retracement He starts with a bias and a premiss and only trades in the direction of the bias. The premiss allows him to enter early with little confirmation ("wholesale") and exit on pops ("retail"). Look at number #3 for example of where I think he has the wrong bias. You will often see that he has a resting order at previous resistance and in #4 that order is executed on a spike down. If you are looking for chart patterns you are going to be disappointed. Most of his charts are incredible long range compared to his holding time. For example in #4 he has 2min, 5min and 1min3LB charts but his holding time is <2min. I think he uses $tick/tape reading/experience to time his entries in zones that he has identified ahead of time. Steve I would be interested in seeing any video you produce.
