<BODY bgColor=white lang=EN-US link=blue style="tab-interval: .5in" vLink=blue>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ton,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>&nbsp;Thanks for taking the time to explain how you 
approach your trading decisions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You said that you were "...an overall average 
Technical Trader", well&nbsp;I consider myself</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a student with much to learn!&nbsp; It's funny that 
you bring up&nbsp;my Point &amp; Figure history,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I believe that it (P&amp;F) is a valid trend 
following method, but I had given the development</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>of the Point &amp; Figure Indicator&nbsp;a rest 
after&nbsp;struggling with MetaStock's language&nbsp;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>barriers (It should now be possible using "Power 
Basic" or "C++" and the developers kit).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was trying to create an indicator that would plot 
on a bar chart were the "x"'s and "o"'s </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>of&nbsp; a P&amp;F chart would be. If this can 
accurately be done using different point and reversal </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>value's, then this indicator could be used in the 
system tester for analysis. After this </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>struggle, I became interested in Robert Krausz's 
Stuff... some of it didn't seem to work,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but I really liked the Multiple time frames and 
having a specific definition for trends.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>&nbsp;But as you mentioned (and what took me months 
to learn) "You&nbsp;do the Analysis first",</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I spent all my time doing analysis, but couldn't 
find a good way to pull the trigger (trade).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Pitchforks, were then added to the Krausz 
charts...but that just helped my analyzing,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>still couldn't trade.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>&nbsp; So ... were am I now? Still a student of 
this madness, but I am learning how to pull the trigger.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Charles Drummonds "Point &amp; Line" is a Multiple 
Time Frame ( I like this ) method that allows</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a person to define the market condition (Trending, 
Congestion, Reversal). Once the market</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>condition is defined, then you use&nbsp;trading 
rules for&nbsp;that specific condition. It also defines&nbsp;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>specific&nbsp;support/resistance levels that can 
act as buy/sell&nbsp;points (this can help me pull the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>trigger or get out). I am still studying all of 
this, but have most of the code in MetaStock now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I get my nerve up, I'll post some charts 
(should be good for a few&nbsp;chuckles).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you wish to see how an expert uses this method 
go to :</FONT></DIV>

  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the system is far

  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; e. And Technical Analysis is basicaly

  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Therefore, both 
  (Analysing and Trading)&nbsp;should not be mixed.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. 
  -You&nbsp;do the Analysis first.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. 
  -Then considder a Trade or if you uberhaubt want to Trade.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. 
  -See the filters above and create more of them.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. 
  -Check out all to come to terms&nbsp;with them/yourselve/Trade to see if there

  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; advantages/disadvantages and to what extend.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5. -Finaly, 
  and if your money account/supplier agrees, do take in the position(eh 
  Trade).</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>Now the above is all words, if you are not willing to take a 
  risk. And that is what Trading, oppose</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>to Investing, is all about : RISK. How far/well do you 
  believe the words(read: analysis+filters) and</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>their </FONT><FONT size=2>outcomes to go ahead and take in a 
  position, and how well, afterwards, are you capable of</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>to protect </FONT><FONT size=2>your initial 
  inlay.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>Questions, questions and questions. Hope the above helps at 
  least a bit in answering them, eg</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>the above </FONT><FONT size=2>purely to be seen as in how I 
  "Trade" my charts (which can well be that I have a possitive</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>result, chart pattern/indicator or&nbsp;fundamental or 
  combined, but still do not "get in", this since the</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>getting ins do not count, but the getting outs ON TOP &lt;or 
  equal to inlay&gt; is what counts).</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>I know quite a lot of&nbsp;Traders now, that are "on

  <DIV><FONT size=2>that I know Investors </FONT><FONT size=2>"on credit",

    <DIV><FONT size=2>Ton,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I always find your charts interesting! 
    The general logic is fairly easy to follow</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>since you seem to be counting waves (Elliot theory?) and 
    plotting angle lines.</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;I have a couple of questions:</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>1. Does the market ever make moves that cause your angle 
    lines and/or counts</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; to be re-adjusted, thus causing a 
    recalculation of your analysis?</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>2. I have learned over the past year that analysis and 
    trading are two different things,</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; so once</FONT><FONT size=2> you have 
    the chart analyzed how do you trade this?</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>You have probably answered these questions before (if so I 
    apologies), but</FONT><FONT size=2> I ask </FONT><FONT size=2></FONT></DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>these questions with the utmost respect&nbsp;for your work 
    and generosity to this list</FONT><FONT size=2>.</FONT></DIV>

As of Sunday 7:05am EST, still unable to download from Reuters. This is
appalling service. And no 7/24 telephone to report problems either --
Strictly normal business hours!

According to recent stories I've read, Reuters wants to become an internet
force and be all things to all people, including the individual investor
whom they have not traditionally served. Seems to me, they have a thing or
two to learn about customer service.
