QSuzy: dave....where would retro have entered long? dave_b_quick: breakout of 15m bar after 5m 1-2-3 reversal, 1552.50, but it wasn't a very good entry point at the top of an upbar gravestonedoggie: elly, try ctl-alt-n to switch server... try to get to another server dave_b_quick: if this aw a lower high, we're in a triangle jimbo_320: vol spike at 1550 ppusa: an alternative to this is today's high is in, we go lower maybe for a day or two and then get a bounce from somewhere lower. This bounce would be the equivalent of having a high for the day higher than the previous day. dave_b_quick: sounds likely, pusa ppusa: which today HOD or tomorrow or? leont_2_1: dave this triangle has bearish or bullish implications? 4nq: nice action for a 26 point range leont_2_1: looks bearish to me dave_b_quick: good question, leon.

Not just a scalp. In the meantime the trend is your friend. QSuzy: thanks dave.....I am ever the student but not much of a practitioner, I fear....

Why does NASD have to tell me its too risky. But i can go and gamble 25,000$ on a horse if i want.

(05:26 PM) Orprepus: what time frames do you look out (05:26 PM) Buffy_04364: then if you go to hourly you can anticipate where weekly/daily/hourly EOS might occur (05:26 PM) trader139: maybe u could talk about selecting anchors and when to change them (05:26 PM) Orprepus: out = at (05:26 PM) beanman_1: Wkly, daily, 60 or 130 min , 15, min and 4min.. part of my pretrade routine (05:26 PM) Buffy_04364: anchor on a significant high low (05:27 PM) beanman_1: I meant 120 mih (05:27 PM) Orprepus: why not multiple of 4 on time frames (05:27 PM) Buffy_04364: that is what differentiates an EOS on a 15M and what might be eos on weekly, daily, etc (05:27 PM) Orprepus: 16m vs 15m?? (05:28 PM) ispe_bc: When do they next converge? (05:28 PM) Buffy_04364: it is very simular to a cluster fib - a retracement is not big deal but if happens to be through fib numbers than it means something (05:28 PM) Buffy_04364: they converge when they all hit eos at the same time (05:29 PM) Buffy_04364: you can see on this 15m chart it broke above resistance at 1554 and is now traveling with the 45 degree upward channel (05:29 PM) beanman_1: go to chart 9 (05:30 PM) Buffy_04364: how did that funny mumble jumble happen?

(05:40 PM) dave_b_quick: hilander_3 has been bounced from the group (05:41 PM) Buffy_04364: so if you are trading a 4M chart you probably wouldn't want to go short when it broke TOS around 1558 (05:41 PM) Orprepus: agree (05:41 PM) Buffy_04364: I actually think this might be a good combination to use with retro (05:41 PM) Orprepus: what ya think dave (05:41 PM) Buffy_04364: thanks dave for the bounce (05:41 PM) ppusa: The default setting on Ensign I just got was 22 when attached to 15 min. How do I decide whether to use 11 or 22? (05:42 PM) Buffy_04364: you have to get used to adjusting the degrees based on how stock is moving and the volitility (05:42 PM) ppusa: Because I have seen price blow past the square and this has been a problem for me. (05:42 PM) Buffy_04364: 22 for 15M chart and 11.5 for 4M and 2.8 on 1M or 2M chart (05:42 PM) Orprepus: degrees that is (05:42 PM) Buffy_04364: if on a time line also should be looking for change of trend (05:42 PM) hanksterr: please give all three settings for STO (05:43 PM) Orprepus: this was great (05:43 PM) Buffy_04364: it sure was orprepus (05:43 PM) dave_b_quick: fast RSI setting?

(06:07 PM) beanman_1: trdr 139 would have to see it.. (06:07 PM) Orprepus: I was thing multipel of 4 for time frames (06:07 PM) Orprepus: thing = thinking (06:08 PM) Orprepus: really like the 120m have for a long time (06:08 PM) beanman_1: You always want to trade the square and triangle you are in.. (06:08 PM) beanman_1: Yes 120 min is good (06:08 PM) Orprepus: just cuts down on the noise (06:08 PM) beanman_1: I also anchor based on the signficant high/low for that timeframe (06:09 PM) Orprepus: yes (06:10 PM) beanman_1: daily I have anchored fo several months... 15min for several days. possibly changing for today (06:10 PM) beanman_1: 4min I change almost every day (06:10 PM) Orprepus: did you see my chart from yesterday 120M NDX2 (06:10 PM) beanman_1: I the seminar I attend with Don Hall , unlike the book, he now reanchors the small TF on every swing/wave (06:10 PM) beanman_1: I will chk it out. (06:11 PM) Orprepus: did you get the book first and than the semiar? (06:11 PM) beanman_1: Degrees also change.. can be 11degrees going down.. then retrace / consolidate at 5.6 degrees... (06:11 PM) beanman_1: Yes.. (06:11 PM) beanman_1: Studied the book for several weeks. and also talked to Don a lot on phone and email before attending (06:12 PM) beanman_1: He is a great guy, like T. Lo (06:12 PM) Orprepus: great might do the same this PP seems to resonate with me (06:13 PM) beanman_1: If you ever read any Gann stuff, they talk about Harmonics and vibrations.. that is what you see in PP, the price "vibrates or oscillated up/down the channel (06:13 PM) amfw: Is the criteria for a new swing on the short TF all three indicators hitting 27/75 and , if so, do you use the same criteria for the longer TF's? (06:14 PM) beanman_1: Gann also thought time was more impt than price.... Hence the EOS is very impt, higher TF' rule on EOS (06:15 PM) beanman_1: Remember , Like Elliott Wave, you can have waves within waves.. nothing goes straight up or down... (06:16 PM) beanman_1: Yes AMFW (06:16 PM) beanman_1: below 25 or above 75.. Don calls them his barometer.. He still looks for confirmation with Pyra (06:17 PM) beanman_1: The indicator show you the past.. Pyra suggest where it may go in the future.. with a way to limit your risk (06:17 PM) beanman_1: indicators = rear view mirror,.. Pyra is looking out the front windshield (06:23 PM) elly_34: are we on still? (06:23 PM) Orprepus: like the steps - the market does not like to take big jumps it trys to have some order in chaos - just look at the daily every couple of weeks we take a jump and skip a couple of step and the market makes sure to fill in the step (06:24 PM) Orprepus: done for the day closing up shop until tomorrow - see ya (06:25 PM) beanman_1: Orprepus. with PP, you hvae to trade the TF you are most comfortable with and with you risk tolerence.. Futures requre so much precision..with PP you can scalp on the lower TF's with tight stops or trade the higher TF with wider stops (06:27 PM) beanman_1: The goal is to always now where you are at in the market / trade... so yes you can go long in the 4min at support, even though the 15 min and perhaps others are in a downtrend, but you odds are lower.. (06:28 PM) elly_34: does don hall have a website? (06:29 PM) beanman_1: No, But he has a bunch of QA and FAQ at Tradersworld.com They are the publishers of his book. I am not sure that is the right URL.. so do a search (06:30 PM) elly_34: ty (06:30 PM) beanman_1: Also, there have been several articles in the previous Ensign monthly newsletters (06:30 PM) beanman_1: And there is a Pyrapoint yahoo group Paltalk: To visit our sponsors, click on banners!

(06:33 PM) beanman_1: For any successful trading plan/srategy you need a trading plan with rules for entry/exit, a miniimum of indicators, software to support it (Ensign and Pyra), and most important an Edge ( from the book Trading in the zone) (06:33 PM) elly_34: i'm probably asking what has been asked, but i had to be away from here so pls bear with me.....how much does the pyrapoint factor into your trading decision beanman? (06:34 PM) FoxyDaveUK 1446: hi im new to this.is there any site to go to for beginers lol (06:34 PM) beanman_1: Trading is at least 90 or more psych and emmotions... (06:35 PM) beanman_1: With Pyra and the rules for enty you can isolate some of the emmotions because shows you were to enter and if you do , where you are wrong (06:35 PM) elly_34: so rules with pyra can be more mechanical? (06:36 PM) beanman_1: Yes...Study the rules I posted... and visualize on the charts where you could have entered.. with the trend.. of the next higher TF (06:37 PM) elly_34: are your rules in this chat or posted elsewhere on the site? (06:37 PM) FoxyDaveUK 1446: so no one wants to talk to me (06:38 PM) beanman_1: If you entered against the trend.. and price goes above/below the top/bottom of the square against you, you are wrong.. (06:38 PM) beanman_1: If it goes above/below the 45 against you are wrong .. (06:38 PM) beanman_1: No matter what you think, hope, pray, what CNBC says.
