Right, Gun Nuts. We don't want to hear from them. We (or at least I do) want creditable sources that have at least attempted to discover the facts pertaining to the topics. So if its like bootleggers during prohibition then we all know how that ended. It ended with an amendment to the constitution I believe. It seems that a consequences at this point is more guns on the street. I would be willing to bet that an unintended consequence of this whole situation is more people carrying guns and more opportunity for folks that shouldn't have access to them. I have seen a bunch of stories about the increase of gun sales and magazine sales from many different news sources. They all point to the fear that Obama will crack down hard on gun control. So it appears at least at this point that a crack down is at least at this point having the opposite intended effect.

Seems like there is alot of passion on this topic. Is there any data or studies or any fact linking a decrease in violence and or violence in schools with guns in conjunction with an increase in gun laws and and or gun restrictions? How do we know that an increase in gun laws will directly decrease gun violence? Do states that have stricter gun laws have proportionate to a lower gun violence rate? Are there any facts or just assumptions and opinions? Seems like the thread slid into abortion, God, and gun control with 2 hands. Did the state that this latest tragedy happen have gun laws that allow you to walk into a gas station buy a pack of smokes and an AK? Was it a state that had similar laws to most of the states. Are the laws more restrictive then most states? Is it possible that an increase in gun legislation has little or no effect on violence? DO other countries that have stricter gun laws have lower violence? Or do they just have lower gun violence? Can some one link the studies to the facts?

How Do You Deal with the Boredom and Loneness
Colonel B replied to Dithsoer's topic in Beginners Forum
Well yea sure. But I don't just hang out waiting for trades for hours like the needy and the greedy. I make my money and get out. In doing as much I have learned that there is more to life then trading and sitting in front of a computer all day. -
So do you use this with the Gann square of 9 stuff or is this a stand alone thing?

How Do You Deal with the Boredom and Loneness
Colonel B replied to Dithsoer's topic in Beginners Forum
I hear you man. I came here to this forum to find other traders to converse with maybe during the day or after the close. Yea it hasn't turned into what I wanted or expected. how do I deal with it? I try to trade as quickly as I can so I can get out of my house or come here and troll around. -
Day Trading the E-mini Futures with Predictor
Colonel B replied to MadMarketScientist's topic in Commercial Content
The unfortunate thing is that everyone is criticizing and critiquing Mr.Dice. Why not add value and do what the thread was started and designed for? If the clown wants to turn this into his poor example of a failing trading journal then don't let him hijack the thread! You are not bringing value. So far it seems I am the only one who even attempted. What say you? So called "Market Wizards" with the golden "C". That should forever be your trading grade. C. If you can't do better then Mr. Dice then don't feel ashamed. If you can then post pics. Simple as that. Just fill up pages with good stuff that works and makes money and every one will see. Just simply saying his stuff doesn't work or he is wrong doesn't help new or struggling folks. Unless you just want to fill pages with worthless comments then keep doing what you are doing. If not then fill it with good stuff that works and he will have no credibility. -
Well here is another one. Lets see if this posts or not. Similar idea as before but this time with a level. 1.5 x IB SELLERS over 1500-2000. No big anything. No big sellers or big buyers so all short term guys getting trapped. It was good for +6 right away. 2012-12-14_1432 - Colonel.B's library
-
Oh yea and it is working and it did work. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
-
Who me Mr President? Fool??? With all due respect I guess you missed my earlier posts. Everything I posted in detail with pics and descriptions ahead of time. Way better then the dice guy. AND when anything went off -3 ticks down from the entry I posted. And if anyone was using a market order stop loss it would of been a lose. But hey if you can do better then by all means do better.
-
The main thing that order flow adds is that I watch for buyers at the top and sellers at the bottoms. I had the long call on this last trade but the trigger was the sellers. Its working now ( see above post for what I mean) . but here is the follow up pic of the after math. you can see the 7136 at the bottom and the 352 coming in at the bottom chart. It held the 3 tick stop out. But again I WAS NOT ON IT AND I WOULD OF EXITED AT -2. But yes its working :haha: 2012-12-14_1243 - Colonel.B's library stops are going to come off now and we will get a pop
-
This is yours 2012-12-14_1227 - Colonel.B's library I am not sure on the time frame Here is mine it charts rotations so its over an hour but you can see the time at the bottom. It looks like to me that it appears to be the same principle. 2012-12-14_1229 - Colonel.B's library I don't have green arrows so the red arrows on the bottom could be buys but I wait till the head fake down because I find that these can can fill any size and pay the best IMO.
-
you aren't doing anything really that much different in principle. The main difference is the time frame and I watch when it gets to my level I look to see what kind of activity goes on there instead of just throwing it on. Ill post some pics so you can see the patterns
-
I still think it will go but again in all fairness I would be out.
-
I would try to cut it here if I was on it at a -2. So even if it does go in my direction and I say SEE SEE THERE IT GOES just know that I wouldn't be on it. I am posting this now before the feeling of not beeing in it sets in
-
its going to fail this time. Or it looks like its going to be a loser
-
2012-12-14_1212 - Colonel.B's library 09.75 bidxoffer 2 tick stop out I AM NOT ON THIS !!!!!! I am posting big buyers comming in no sellers all seller apper to be short term
-
2012-12-14_1210 - Colonel.B's library now im wating for the 1500-200+
-
Yea I posted what I thought of his software in his thread. I think its a poor rip off of the stuff I use. I don't think he is doing a good job reading it either. HOWEVER just because I don't think he isn't good at it and maybe selling a poorer ripped off version of what i use doesn't mean he isn't on to something and that what he is attempting doesn't work. In all fairness I watched only 5-10 minutes of his video and looked at the pics up to my post.
-
head fake setting up. I may not take this one but im trying to call it out early 2012-12-14_1149 - Colonel.B's library 2012-12-14_1158 - Colonel.B's library consolidation is happening. A 10 year old could see it on the second one
-
yea not me I use 2 tick stop on the bonds and notes and 2-3 on the ES sometimes 4 if I get a bad price if I go to market. 4 points is too much for me either way
-
Well 6 is pretty aggressive. You got brass. I am going to make a quick buck. I wont hold anything for 6 points. I cut my winners quick and cut my losers even quicker But yea if it gets to 15.25 - 15.75 I am going to be looking for blue volume 1500-2000+ to take a trade to get short. Right now I am looking for some one to go off sides and im hoping to post pics for it.
-
That order flow pattern is setting up again. Lets see if it consolidates and then has a head fake then moves higher then lower. The dice guy says higher and I think anyone with a 30 min candle can see that it may go higher. 2012-12-14_1132 - Colonel.B's library You dont need special software either. Just look at the bonds and notes both have stopped 1 time framing and are coming off a bit.
-
Yea no way I am getting up that early. Mainly because I cam make money during RTH. But hey if you can make money then and have an advantage then go for it. And yes I think that is "predicting."
-
Here is one. Its an IB trade. Standard MP with a twist. The secret to the order flow is to watch the wrong color come out and in the ES 1500 gets me looking and 2000+ is something to watch. In this one I don't have an actual target and I am out already with all my contracts. 2012-12-14_1114 - Colonel.B's library You can see on the bottom chart there is not a singe big buyer or big seller coming in. All short term shorts getting stuck looking for follow through.
