PastorP, Feel free to direct message me if you have any specific questions. In general, if you are wanting to jump start the W&O leg you may want to consider a round of the classes, S1-S3. There are some subtle details in the classes that wasn't taught/available in the earlier classes, particularly on what "trading the evidence" clearly means. Some of these details are well wby maninthemachine - Trading Discussion
You can also get a jump on the recommended reading. The material will have a recommended reading list, with the top three [*] The Slight Edge, Olson [*] Relentless, Grover [*] Chop Wood Carry Water, Medcalf Be sure not to get the kindle versions.by maninthemachine - Trading Discussion

On thing on this. Have expanded past the two week trends (to the 1, 4, or earnings)? any particularly reason you started with two weeks? Currently I'm only putting some of them in a watch list and keeping an eye on them.by maninthemachine - Trading Discussion
Appreciate the quick response. Your answers clear it up. thanks! I think i assumed incorrectly that you could put the order in the night before based on the candle closing, and was thinking I could get hosed if the futures were indicating a dramatic swing the other way.

Similar situation as above. Attended the S1 in January, planning to take the S2, S3 in June/August. I do have a few basic questions: Question 1: Entry on the close of the first candle is straightforward, no more action charts. However, if you only need to look at the market (during market hours), specifically, after the close of the first candle, when do you pull the trigger on tradesby maninthemachine - Trading Discussion

Has anyone here ever used or contributed to the Collective2 platform? (see trade.collective2.com)by maninthemachine - Trading Discussion
@Taz43 I think RichieRick and I are saying the same thing. GW has an effective method for what you are saying you want, entry/exit criteria, etc. To RichieRick's point, he has streamlined it so that the guess work has been eliminated, with essentially a set of strict rules to follow. That said, the method/class is taught on site in NC. Class contacts are posted elsewhere on this site.by maninthemachine - Trading Discussion
Per RichieRick's post, most on this forum are students (current/former) of GW who has a proprietary trading system. I fundamentally believe that to be successful you need a system that you are bought into and willing to stick with. One place to start would be some of Elder's work. He system includes risk management, entries/exits, and the psychology of trading. Very similar, at a highby maninthemachine - Trading Discussion
