Hi all,

After having introduced my mother and a few friends to the 4x. I am astounded with the amount of "fear" people have about charts and hand drawn tools. I am NO EXPERT by far. However I feel I can do my part to help the newbies catch up......at least to my level. So anyway here are the first 2 more on the way.

Cheers,

Snap thanks for putting these vids together. I know you simply want to only show how to draw the indicators but it would have been good to get your opinion on when to enter and exit trades based on the channel or fibs alone not assuming any specific trading system.

Either way good work.

OK How about I do a "Video Blog" of my trading? I have 14 days left on the free trial of camtasia and searching for a "free" replacement like hypercam or something. I'll start now today (sunday morning) and walk you thru my price projections and presetup. It takes as much as 2 or more hours to upload a 10-15 min video. These videos may be considablly larger lets just see.

This will be a very small live account, that i will be videoing......I personally do not believe in demos. If you want to demo I would suggest the napstex interface. You trade for napi points not dollars.....it is quite competative and fun!!!!!
ok im off to record.

Thankyou very much for the feedback! you rock!

to answer your question I have checked out youtube. Here is the skinney.....

Youtube allows files up to 100megs each no limit on how many of them. However youtube limits all videos to 10 minutes or less. Unless you have "Director" status ....whatever that is.

Live video allows up to 200 megs per file. They also do not have limits on how many you put up. And in addition there is no restriction on how long the movie is.

I plan on some movies of recording entire trading sessions live so they will almost certainly break the 10 minute time restriction on youtube.

BTW just finished Part 1 of my sunday study. Compiling the video andup loading now. It should be ready within the next couple hours.

Yes, you are right. I thought LiveVideo is like imageshack, where your videos would be lost after a while, but the site looks great. Good choice, and I am looking forward to more...

I need to shorten these to make them more useful.

I took out large chunks of stuff as much as I could to get the entire nights "main activity" on this one. From here i shall cronical trade by trade not day by day. recording a full day then editing it down is frankly a big huge PITA!

very fun channel exit off bad trade.....good stuff!

Hi guys!

I am going to write my feedback about this videos as been newbie....
I watched 3 videos and I have learned almost 0 out of it.

Fibonacci: I learned who discovered it but I didn't get anything important out of it. I still do not know why should I use it, when and how will it help me.
Example which is on the video didn't work on EURUSD screen.. I kept playing with many charts but couldn't understand why should I use it and how will it help me on every day trading.
Sorry.. but no useful information...

Channels:
at least I know how to change the background of the channel but no useful information on chart forecasting. channel breakouts and something what I (newbie) should know!

Please explain me when should I use it? I am here to make my life better and be successful trader but not to chat on the game server or IRC.
I am sorry if I am wrong. Please explain.

Thanks very much for the feedback!!! you rock!

The fib tutes and channel tutes were really aimed at a smaller group that was learning a certain style of trading called SRDC. Most of those folks understood the why but not how.

both of those tutes I stressed I was not trying to teach a "trade like this method".....I was trying to teach you to "play" with the tools of the system and learn how they work.

I will try to do a special video for you to address your questions. Again thanks for the feedback. I can only get better at this with feedback.

-Snap
P.S. after that video I will be ending my tutorials and will start a video trade journal thread.....in the trade journals forum.

those that want to follow my video trade blog can link there or go directly to my live video channel at: http://www.livevideo.com/SnapCracklePip

Kanaps,

Snap is right, the videos were adressed for people that allready has an insight about SRDC method.
If you are a noob you might have a look at those threads.
I'm a noob too and learned from there how to draw chanels, trend lines, fibs, predict movements based on price action, etc...
Even if you don't follow the method, it is a good reading for learning.
