No one else did it, so I'm kickin' it off.

The ES sure has 'seen' my area.

It's doing battle with the KZ.

Now the question here is will this KZ give it the energy to retest the area, or to blast it over and then my overhead areas are in play?

I think that one has been answered.

Now watch the ABCD area here.

Always clues right... : )

See the common theme to my methodology. Just watching area after area, assessing what it does and adding those clues into my evaluations.

I frequently liken what I do to detective work, most like the TV characters 'Monk' and 'House'. My job is to read clues and be a detective.

I recall one episode of Monk where the captain was explaining to someone why Monk was so special. They were investigating a suicide where the woman took an overdose. It must have been at least questioned, or they wouldn't have all been there (I think she was married to someone important or something). They had the open pill bottle with the pills missing, the whole thing. Anyway, Monk walked it, took one look and essentially said 'There's no glass of water. This woman was murdered.' The captain mentioned how many police, how many detectives, had looked over the scene, including himself, and not one of them saw that. Monk walked right in and saw it instantly and put it together. I am always reminded of that with what we try to do. There is a lot of information right in front of traders, but most can't see it, or understand it. I look at trading in a way that most others don't. In here I can point out the clues so people can see how I find them. What I can't do in a venue like this (and wouldn't if I could...) is explain every detail of how I interpret them.

good one. Roofer always says that traders are always looking the wrong way at turns.

Don't be shy about posting JaLee. If you come back to the posts from 2011 when I joined the forum you will see that I couldn't do anything more than finding ABCDs in all directions, yet I decided to post charts and treated it as part of my trading education. Besides, I think we all have a slightly different specializations, rat posts CFDs mainly, you are following ES as far as I know, and I major in FX, especially the Pound. So it will work to advantage of all of us if we cover as much markets as possible.

Yes I am very sad that he is no longer going to be posting here. I can't believe the wealth of information available on this forum. I do appreciate everybody's else posts as well. I will absolutely still be reading and learning from everybody here, but since I am fairly new to the KT Methodology I'm not sure how much I can contribute to others; but I would like to still be involved.

As we could all read yesterday, Jim considered seriously quitiing the forum after what has been happening in public area for the last few weeks. Today he eventually decided to quit and asked me to inform everyone about that. Sad but true...

Every user of private area will still have access to it, but from now on we are on our own.
I am going to post as time permits and I am almost sure that rat will do the same. What about the rest? JaLee?
