Dave,

1) good webinar, thanks.  I'm learning a lot.  I spent a week with Bill McDonald in his emini room, which improved my skills quite a bit, using Ninja.  His strategy also uses only support & resistance levels, but is based on a sort of "cup&handle" breakout approach, line across previous highs (or lows), trigger after the pullback returns to resistance line & closes above, then buystop or sellstop entry in next bar that continues.  There would be entries that you'd be out of within a few seconds, 1st contract out at 3 ticks, 2nd at 4, last two auto trail stops, or you could manually manage longer runs if slow enough.   But difficult to get the entries right.

2) your approach of limit entries at deflection points is less manic, allows for longer runs it seems.  1st day in the room with you, paper trading with TOS, I was up $1200, just following along; still not completely hipped into the tick & bank confirmation conditions, but getting there.   But I'm just not comfortable anymore not having the same tools, Automatic Trade Management for exits.  TOS has a DOM & a chart trader function in their Active Trader tab, but its a little more cumbersome & lags when adjusting (compared to Ninja). I'll try the Infinity demo; or go back to working with Ninja (which has its own issues, & doesn't have the same fib functionality or internals set up I don't think).

3) re the question of whether to start the fib "extensions" from an intermediate extreme in a pullback or from the hi or low just before that pullback, I wish I could ask the question & get your attention right when you do it, cause its still not clear.   I think I get the difference between a "measured move" from a low to a high or vice versa, which is what an intermediate fib from the pullback would be; but you seemed to be drawing "extension" fibs on the outside of the curve, from low to low.

4) the red&white line seems to be something other than a fib, a "priceline" horizontal.  I draw those, but the color options don't offer r&w.   also, I got that you drew one from the previous day high at 895, but the one at 905 didn't seem to be for the same reason. 

5) not sure if having both the room open & TOS is too much resource draw,  computer performance was really boggy today.

6) I had asked a couple times about TTM Squeeze indicator on the jabbify chat, someone had offered to send the link, but I didn't get it by email or from the links posted on chat.  What do you think of that?  same as your view of all the other indicators, trailing, set up late entries, etc?  if you are able to forward whatever is needed to add it as a TOS or Ninja indicator, that would cool.

7) crash indicator:  is a pivot?
