I just played my first game of disc golf in Orlando. Not near as nice as in Colorado, traded lush green soft grass and views of the mountains for swampland and mosquitos... but, I went prepared by purchasing 3 more discs (left the others in Colorado). I got a driver for long distance, cuts through the air, has a hard hook left at the end; a mid -range, hooks slightly right but other than that very straight and stable; and a putter, very lofty, slow, hardly any fade.

Ther relevance here, is maybe I don't want to change my 6 range chart at all. It is good for a certain condition or certain type of shot. Maybe what I am looking for is an optional chart that does something different.

You could try fading the colors out on your indicators to blend more with the background...more monochromatic

Gary the way you trade - you might like something similar to this mentioned here to show market structure. I like it a lot better than market profile because it flows.



Shows wave action really well. Just fade it out into the background so it is there for reference but not overwhelming.

like this -



later



Mine looks more like spider webs.

Gary, I already think you're cool but you're over the top awesome now. I have never played disc golf but have played ultimate for many years, and still find little that I like more than 30 minutes tossing a disc with someone. If you come up my way, or if I come down your way, we gotta have a quick game! It's very therapeutic for me. A bit of gravity-defying as the lift takes the frisbee along.... riding on pockets of air, and very much has a "flow" to it. I'm tired, sorry if this post comes out hard to interpret.

Looks like a toned-down version of Guppy (GMMA) ... I used to think it was SOOOO cool when I first started trading but then I realized it's just a bunch of MA's stacked on top of each other

Any time. Georgia is not one of my states, but Atlanta is a short flight. If you head to Florida I'll get you contact info.

I am not that good, just discovered it in Colorado a few weeks ago, but that is not really important. The simplicity of it, the feeling of youth that it evokes, having something to do outside...

I think it would be fun to get together with another trader, or a group even. Maybe this year I will rent a ski house? Or, put together some trip?

Crude's posible major 5WM is still intact, and the trendline off that possible top is still holding... but the large trend is still up. Support on the daily could come in further down into the 93.60 area, and I am keeping a close watch on the major trendline.

On the 30/120 minute, a possible ABC is in place, watching for a break above 96.10 and then above 96.55




There are probably short positions building stops in those areas.

The trend is up, and 5 waves can be beat by an ABC.
