Thank you so much! I guess when it comes to 5 min charts I have always looked at Al Brooks as the leading expert. Unfortunately I found Al's books rather convoluted to read and not as clear as Bob's setups. Appreciate your feedback. Rein

Volman's new Book Suan, Since you have experience with both books, is it worth buying Bob's new book? When I originally worked with his first book, I never felt comfortable with his tick charts and the associated speed. It is intriguing that Bob seems to focus on the 5 min time frame as...

Excellent, advice, BLS! Thanks for sharing these points of wisdom. I certainly have difficulties with concentration. I often catch myself web-browsing, and checking out my trades on different time frames. Perhaps a good exercise is to force yourself to observe a chart for 60 minutes, nothing...

Thanks, Bill - I know about the scalability of time frames. I used to trade with 5 min and looked at the overall market structure with the 15/30 min TFs. I was more interested in knowing if someone has experience with Bob's 7 setups on a conventional time frame. I find ticks difficult to...

Here is Bob's 70 tick chart of the US open on 4/12 versus the 35, 40, 70 tick charts in TradeStation. I think a comparison of Bob's setups against the TS data feed is nearly impossible?! Has anyone attempted to use standard time frames (like the 30 sec, 1 min, 3 min) with Bob's setups? Thanks!!

This would really be helpful. I have been playing around in TradeStation with different tick counts (35 - 120) in an effort to compare my charts to Bob's with little success...

This does make a difference....never thought it would have to be reduced so much! Thank you very much, datamold!!

In your first graph my thinking is that you have a double bottom plus another push down. In essence, the market created a three-push down pattern (kind of a wedge), and a reversal setup (down-up bar) at the third push. So you should expect a two leg up movement; the end of the first leg being...

I have similar observations as datamold. When I compare my tick timeframe in Tradestation against others I do notice differences as well. I took a SB trade yesterday where I immediately started worrying if I can get to my 10p profit target. I stayed in the trade until I reached the previous...

Thank you very much!

It seems to me it's fairly subject to tell when the clustering to the left has an influence on the breakout succeeding or not. Do you have a rule-of-thumb? Can you say, let's say, 1h, or 20 bars, or something? Thanks, rein

Staying in Denmark for a while I can trade the early European sessions. Unfortunately I missed this in my opinion nice DD setup yesterday.

I agree, not pulling the trigger can even be more stressful than placing a losing trade!

Not sure if you guys placed any trades today - I did early in the morning. Noticed a RB, then waited for the pullback before going short.

Thanks, BLS!
