Yeah , you are right !!! Everybody go in his own way , for me is to know what is working and keep it as simple as possible !!! :missy:

 

I have something to refresh your fond memory. No complication. :)

Subject: 30 minute warmup bar trading.

 

Fundamental Money Making Concepts.

 

I use simple mechanical systems to get people to understand the basic concept of making money steadily and with little or no risk.

 

When you trade daily for 6 1/2 hours a key thing to consider is not doing too much to make some money.

 

By choosing a futures index of any sort on any exchange in the world, you have put yourself, for 6 1/2 hours a day in a place that is truly dull and unexciting. Being there is fairly safe and not too demanding so you can relax and repeat a few tasks over and over to make some money.

 

I work first with 30 minute bars to frankly eliminate any sense of urgency. I use the prior days last bar to get the ball rolling, or I suggest you wait until the second begins to eliminate the end effects of the market.

 

Here is a progression of four mechanical methods to illustrate making money primarily and secondarily to illustrate that losses are neatly reduced more and more as a little sophistication enters the picture. I also introduce how in a trend you can switch to the most favorable side of the channel to exit. Because this is very simple and mechanical there is no need to clutter it with a stop system as yet mostly because it an index tied to the performance of and aggregation of stocks. We can tuck stops in easily though as a commitment to our ordinary discipline.

 

The four items in the progression are:

 

1. break out of prior bar.

2. slope pairs of bars.

3. overlapped pairs slopes

4. retracement.

 

Here is the progression:

 

1. set up a 30 bar display for a futures index.

2. enter on the breakout beyond (above or below) the prior days last bar hi/lo.

3. hold until the current bar breaks out of the other end (from your long or short entry) of the prior bar.

4. hold on inside bars.

5. hold on successive bar break outs in the same trend.

6. on breakout of 3., reverse so you can take on new trend trade.

7. repeat 3. through 6. for remaining bars of the day.

8. settle at end of day.

You know how they say: "it's only a drill, if it were an actual" trading system it would also have the volume and the fractal context.

If I were the one who designed the rule set of this method, call it a bull as you like. See who designed it.

 

 

You know how they say: "it's only a drill, if it were an actual" trading system it would also have the volume and the fractal context.

It is not a drill. It was put up as an actual complete trading method for a swing trader leaving plenty of money on the table. FYI his second complete method using slope pairs of bars which leaves not as plenty of money on the table does not use volume nor fractal context.

 

 

I am not here to argue what best or not. Frankly, I have a hard time to make meaningful progress in learning price volume relationship. I thought why not put up his older works as food for thoughts.

I'm not sure what's your point. Jack's charts show that:

....................

 

As a general note, I'm not defending Jack or Spydertrader, or trying to put one above the other, each one has his merits: we wouldn't have these discussions without either of them. I just post my opinions on a matter or another. I'm always open to learn something, be it something new, or correcting or improving my understanding. :)

 

Hi cnms2, frenchfry.

 

Do you have Jack's new library for TN?

 

Thnak you,

 

Stepan

This will explain where Jack was going with it:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/misc.invest.technical/MepKxK6hbpk

 

His typical MO, starting at a base line and adding layers. He's done the same with indicators, just how he teaches. Call it a learning tool, training wheels or drill.

Unfortunately, no. On ET you can see that he told me that I could/should get it but when I took him by his words he chickened out.

 

If you look at his chart then you can see that you already have most of what he re-invented. It is basically all the cases and bar numbers. He changed the lateral annotation and added his "U's" as an indication that the bar gives permission to measure volume. I also see he marks the BO's. The rest he seems to add manually. Everything you see on his chart should be pretty easy for you to replicate. If then in addition you can get the intra-bar degapping to work, then you're the man. :) No... in fact... if you add an automatic volume annotation with PPs, bands LVBOs, HVBOs, T1s, etc. then you should have an automated SCT system. Just remember me when you don't need the system anymore. :)

Thank you. :)

 

It took me significant time to reverse engineer Spyder's Lateral Formation and Lateral Movement and I don't want to repeat this route again.

 

If somebody will come up with defined rules than I have no problem to implement them for benefit of all. Otherwise I will stick to "old" school.

 

What do you mean by "intra-bar degapping"? Intra-day?

What do you mean by "intra-bar degapping"? Intra-day?

Stepan :))

 

Look at the chart you posted. There is often a gap between the close and the open of the next bar. If you take the distance between the close and the open and then shift the previous bars up or down by that distance then you will get a new result. For example without degap you would see an FTP but when you shift the bars then suddenly you have a XB or a Sym.

 

Does it matter? Theoretically, yes... could be. The funny thing is until recently everybody (most) didn't degap intra-bar and SCT still worked... or maybe that's why it didn't work?

 

Maybe those like DB_sezwhat who degap intrabar since some time can share their experience?

Todd spoke about that. He felt de-gap from the previous close to the open was sufficient. I have attache DB's de-gapped chart.

Guys- intra-bar degapping? Are you sure?

 

Just to clarify: you ARE aware that that would mean the trendlines would jump at every bar, right? Or rather- price would jump relative to your trendlines.

Which means you could not draw trendlines, therefore you would not know when you have crossed a TL/ closed outside. And you could not draw an FTT nor a VE either....

 

So- you are saying that it would be advantageous to trade this method without trendlines and without FTT's..??

First time I read this idea from Spydertrader, and I guess Jack took it from him, or as in other cases it might've been an older element of Jack's method uncovered by Spydertrader at a certain moment.

 

Degapping (day to day, and maybe the intra-day too) makes sense especially for the continuity of the order of events, for volume sequences.

 

There is the possibility that it may be useful for volume gating by price internals, and it might not be useful for trendlines. It might be also useful to determine if a VE closed in the zone, or if a lateral ended.

 

If you try to use a concept you don't fully understand, it's likely that you'll use it incorrectly and you'll draw the wrong conclusions.

 

You may have noticed that bar coloring (pennants) is slightly changed too.

"First time I read this idea from Spydertrader, and I guess Jack took it from him, or as in other cases it might've been an older element of Jack's method uncovered by Spydertrader at a certain moment."

Actually, Spyder apparently said on several occasions that de-gapping individual bars makes absolutely no sense. I can get you more info as to when he said that, if needed...

 

"It might be also useful to determine if a VE closed in the zone, or if a lateral ended."

Independent of the fact that if you can't draw a trendline, you obviously can't determine what a VE is: why on earth would you need de-gapped bars to determine either of these??

 

"If you try to use a concept you don't fully understand, it's likely that you'll use it incorrectly and you'll draw the wrong conclusions."

 

 

Very true, see above...

The trend lines do not jump at all.. Inter-bar degapping IS superior.

 

Also take a look at who found this post useful.

"The trend lines do not jump at all.. Inter-bar degapping IS superior."-

 

Thank you, now I am really convinced...:-)..."sigh".

 

OF course they jump! How could they not? You need to move either the previous bars or the future bars to remove the gap. The open of each new bar has to line up with the close of the last bar.

NT has an indicator that de-gaps bars, I had it- you try to draw a trendline, good luck. If I remember correctly, it moved the previous bars. If it shifted the current bar to remove a gap, prices would be completely off by the end of day.

 

Unless there is a software that moves the TL's with the price, if so- please let me know which one can do this: i lobbied with the owner of TN for months to achieve it, without success (and several others did too), just to remove the hassle of moving lines in the morning. He was afraid of liability issues for the software if it displayed non-existant price bars and people placed trades based on it.

 

As to Spyder liking that post: I personally know (because we discussed it in the last few days) from somebody who was as close to Spyder as anybody that S. thought that whole intrabar de-gapping thing was complete hogwash. Maybe he changed his mind after that post, I don't know.

 

But enough of this: if you guys can make intrabar degapping and drawing TL's work, please post it here.If you are already doing it- just post a video.Anyways....I'll stop now.

They are going to be at Las Vegas (the VP for sure, and possibly their CEO), and even though (at least) two individuals have strongly encouraged Genesis to add a 'Gap Elimination' Option to their software, additional interest for said functionality expressed through direct contact should prove beneficial. ;)After all, The 'opening' gap isn't the only Gap which does not exist.

 

More on this in Las Vegas.

PTVtrader's chart and post of 10-11-2009 were in reply to the above comment made by Spydertrader.

 

A clarification: I don't use intraday degapping.

PTVtrader,

 

"Inter-bar degapping IS superior", Bold statement (needs to be backed up)

 

Please could you demonstrate with an example where the inter-bar degapping gave you an edge over bars with gaps?

 

Thanks

I am not trading JH method....but if you ask me trend lines, and shapes are only in your imagination, and most of TA is crap.....you can't predict what price will do next based on TA principles, Ma's and indicators. The only certain is that most of traders are losers and if you find places where are more of them this is your sweet (G)spot...:)

    • 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.
