Volman meets Burke or My journey with PA

Haven't tried to port this back to time charts. If one can do it, best luck. You would need to reduce the parameters. Suggestion for those who don't have easy access to range bars.

Just thinking about time charts is cringe.

the 3 t chart would make me crazy. been on the 20T charts for mes/es as of late. keep up the good work.

Just did my first two ignores since coming back. One is an arrogant person, no loss. The other used to be a buddy. Oh well.

Thinking Trump is a pedophile is ignorant and juvenile thinking. If Trump is so involved deep in the Epstein file, why wait until now to spill it all.

You people are fucking stupid.

I just threw those up to show the system on a different instrument. My work is with the M2K/RTY.

This forum (site) has fallen so far from what it once was. As they say all good things must pass. Mostly what has remained are the liars and frauds. Not many people bring much to the "conversations" on FF. It is mostly a comparison of dick sizes.

A couple things I don't over think at all are future analysis - other than that required to make an entry or consider a trading session direction, which can easily change, and most news.

Most news is in reality just data drops. Real news comes from outside these scheduled data drops. Semantics. My trading session starts around 10:45 ET and ends before 15:45 ET. No, I am not glued to the screen that entire time. I will walk away, meals, occasional nap. Yes I miss a few trades. Matters not. For the most part this period is free of news. Always be aware of tweets.

As far as analysis, the pic shows the 41-range. Price is at the big blue again. That is all I know. How I read it is what has the market done and where is price coming into the start of the session. I start about at the purple vertical line to a few bars before the brown. There were a few trades the first hour, then price went into a longer than usual midday consolidation.

What will this be in the am?? I have not the slightest clue. Matters not as I trade what is set before me on any given day. Some days easier than others. This system may not be perfect. But it is perfect. At least for me. Whether one duplicates this as it is or uses the concepts in their own stuff, it is all valid. Another useful thing from all this is a real time example of how to build a system. Go back to the beginning and you can see nearly the entire evolution of this system.

Short term I can tell the most likely direction of price. This is done through the Where's Waldo methodology. (That is where is price within the framework that is the system.) Other than that, I no longer even try as it is a totally futile effort. Just look at the multitude of failed predictions on FF and people continue to play the losing game.

The game changer comes when you take off the rose-colored glasses and see things for what they truly are as opposed to the same old crap everybody else spews.

This is a journal. You have to put up with the babble.

They did it again.

Some accumulation here. May be building a bottom.

Going to rebalance with the med green before long. Another common thing you will see with MAs. Price will change momentum. This allows the MAs to come together in those "squeeze" type situations. I call it equilibrium as the value of price and the value of some/many of the MAs become close. These are often areas of possible trade entries.

True Price Action.

The 8-range showing the crossing into the sell side of the med-green at the open today. I don't trade this time as I have other commitments. That was a large drop, 2250 to 2211 = 39 pts = 390 ticks. Massive for this instrument.

If you can get relatively consistent with a system similar to this, trading instruments that pay, you can stop pretending and become a real trader.

US futures have low day trading margins and very decent returns. And you don't have to play that hold game.

Got a pullback to Gold.

The climb is slowing.

Missed.

Sometimes it is Wash.Rinse.Repeat.

Referenced base in the rectangle. See if it will hold.
