You have to find your own method in the end.

You seem unaware of blatant contradictions in what you say, but I do agree with this statement.

 

 

The point of all this learning is to be able to extract. If you can do it and don't need to ask questions of others, then that's great. I took the time to answer a person who is not at your level and threw something out there to expand his line of thinking. Evidently, my "beyond Hersheyland" phrase rankled you and probably others. It wasn't meant to step on any toes. Don't worry about what I say. Just continue with your extracting.

 

Cheers.

the diff probl lays in a subset of the tools and beyond the available tools.

No problem. Let me try to explain what I mean with "You have to find your own method in the end."

 

What I mean is..you take aspects from Jack Hershey method that you like... use it, enter, exit where you are comfortable and when you like market conditions and then finally after gaining experience make it truly your own method because only then you can 100% trust your own judgement.

 

This makes sense because it's really a discretionary method. There's no 100% ruleset...what to do and when to do it. It depends on the trader and on the experience gained, interpretation, etc etc... that's why there are so many pages about it, here and on ET.

 

regards,

Ivo

You are just making that up. Whether or not you agree that it can be done, a complete set of rules is exactly what is intended. Maybe you aren't aware of the latest transference method: the flowcharts with n, n+1, and n+2.

The method just helps to see the market. That's all. That's something else then a ruleset when to get in, when to get out etc. Stop after 3 losses, sit thru a point 2-->3, trading HVS, etc etc...These things you really decide for yourself after you understand the market.

 

Actually Spyder did give some beginner rules...enter at FTT, reverse at FTT and out at FBO I think...but really..it's up to the individual trader. How focussed do you want to be? How many trades/opportunities do you want to take? How many lines do you want to draw? Do you understand the market in every aspect? I certainly don't but I trade the things I do understand.

I have some questions about the display of Jack's TradeNavigator platform in the attached picture.

 

(1): What are +4.75 and +0.46%?

 

(2): I understand red and green diamonds on ES price pane are bid wall and ask wall. But they are not a reflection of the walls displayed in yellow boxes in the DOM pane. May I know how the platform calculates the placement of "diamonds"?

 

(3): Why part of the background of the OTR pane is colored yellow?

 

Anyone knows? :)

Where did you get the picture from?

 

I don't think that is Jack's. I have only seen Jack's charts from Tradestation and Ninjatrader. Secondly none of his charts have indicators called "Spydertrader..."

You are incorrect about the picture and indicators. Look harder in ET, you will find more of them, from Jack personally.

Does anybody here have a good understanding of the flowchart Jack created in this thread? Having a hard time understanding it, some of the terms are defined different in different places etc...anybody ever made a clearer version of this Flowchart?

 

Thanks,

I agree I cannot also make head or tails of the flow chart, please could someone post a clearer version.

I am creating one, but I need some input here from the old hands that actually understand it... if there are any:)

1. Points and % up/down since previous days close.

 

2. They were coded wrong, TN fixed it, you might prefer the boxes or arrows for a more accurate reading. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2689724

In the latest update TradeNavigator finally fixed their Dom Wall symbol locations. Now price can bounce between the blocks or arrows. Previously the ask symbol was below the actual wall level.

 

3. It's a division of time shading, pretty sure it was 5 minute periods, so you'd know where it lined up with the start/end of a 5 min bar.

Yesterday, EOD.

Had to stop around 1:30, so anything after that is hindsight :)

Hi Vienna,

 

In your 6 Oct 2001 ES chart posted in #3106 (http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/technical-analysis/6320-price-volume-relationship-78.html#post129421), why was the green point 2 of the green up traverse(bar 52 - 61) inside the previous red down traverse? (The pink circle in the attached chart.)

 

I found several source of information mentions: "The point 2 must be outside the RTL of the previous container in the same fractal." Is there something I missed?

 

Here is one of the information:

Thanks.

Here a video I created a few days ago with 2 live trades, one small loser, found myself on the wrong side and a quick correction. I added some comments what I was thinking at that moment. Also some examples of "What wasn't that" which was the reason to hold. If anyone finds it useful, let me know and I post some more with comments. It was produced twice the normal speed.

 

regards,

Ivo

thanks, it's fun to make and forces me to review the day better so will make some more. Of course this is not an average trade as price went quite far so maybe I should record some more (whole day). But anyway, it's the thinking (what wasn't that) that matters because it leads to the correct decission (hold, exit, reverse).

Sorry to bring this up, this stumped me and I did not see a reason why a 2 cannot be inside the channel on the same fractal. If you have identified an FTT there is no reason why it cannot be. I went back to the "tapes" (elite trader forum) Spyders old drawings and there are plenty on examples of the above. I have attached one for your review.

I bet that was before 'clean page' time. You got 3 channels there just eliminate one of them.

    • Date: 31st March 2025.   Trump Confirms Tariffs on All Countries, Sending Stocks Lower.   The NASDAQ continues to trade lower due to the US confirming the latest tariffs will be on all countries. In addition to this, bearish volatility also is largely due to the higher inflation data from Friday. The NASDAQ declines to its lowest price since September 11th 2024. Core PCE Price Index - Inflation Increases Again! The PCE Price Index read 2.5% aligning with expert forecasts not triggering any alarm bells. However, the Core PCE Price Index rose from 0.3% to 0.4% MoM and from 2.7% to 2.8% YoY, signalling growing inflationary pressure. This increases the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will maintain elevated interest rates for an extended period. The NASDAQ fell 2.60% due to the higher inflation reading which is known to pressure the stock market due to pressure on consumer demand and a more hawkish Federal Reserve. Boston Fed President Susan Collins recently commented that tariffs could drive up inflation, though the long-term impact remains uncertain. She told journalists that a short-term spike is the most probable outcome but believes the current pause in monetary policy adjustments is appropriate given the prevailing uncertainties. Although, certain investment banks such as JP Morgan actually believe the Federal Reserve will be forced into cutting rates. This is due to expectations that the economy will struggle under the new trade policy. For example, JP Morgan expects the Federal Reserve to delay rate cuts but will quickly cut towards the end of 2025. Market Risk Appetite Takes a Hit! A big factor for the day is the drop in the risk appetite of investors. This can be seen from the VIX which is up almost 6%, Gold which is trading 1.30% higher and the Japanese Yen which is the day’s best performing currency. Most safe haven assets, bar the US Dollar, increase in value. It is also worth noting that all indices are decreasing in value during this morning's Asian session with the Nikkei225 and NASDAQ witnessing the strongest decline. Previously the stock market rose in value as investors heard rumours that tariffs would only be on certain countries. This bullish swing occurred between March 14th and 25th. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump indicated that the upcoming tariffs would apply to all countries, not just those with the largest trade imbalances with the US. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ continues to obtain indications that sellers control the price action. The price opens on a bearish price gap measuring 0.30% and trades below all Moving Averages on all timeframes. The NASDAQ also trades below the VWAP and almost 100% of the most influential components (stocks) are declining in value.     The next significant support level is at $18,313, and the resistance level stands at $20,367.95. Key Takeaway Points: NASDAQ falls to its lowest since September 2024 as the US confirms tariffs on all countries, adding to inflation concerns. Core PCE inflation rises to 0.4% MoM and 2.8% YoY, increasing the likelihood of prolonged high interest rates. Investor risk appetite drops as VIX jumps 6%, gold gains 1.3%, and safe-haven assets outperform. NASDAQ shows strong bearish momentum, trading below key technical levels with support at $18,313 and resistance at $20,367.95. Always trade with strict risk management.
