I would like to start a thread were traders can post charts showing trend lines and entries. They can be live or sim thats fine either way but post if live or sim. I trade both ways and mainly the YM now due to the size of my acct. I may at times use a CCI on a smaller time frame chart. I use the a 444 volume chart for the YM, 2000 tick chart like Mack on the ES, 1000 volume chart for the CL and NQ. The only indicator I use is a 21 ema on the chart like mack. I will also use 75 to 125 tick chart to get a smaller stop when I take a 1st entry. I watch the PATs channel on Youtube to recap the end of each day with Mack to see if i had the trend lines correct even if I only trade the YM they all look about the same. I may post my charts after I trade or live sometimes depends on how my day is going. If you follow Mack you are welcome to jump in I don't care what you trade if you use his method.
This is the common journal for futures.io (formerly BMT) Elite Members who are currently trading or interested in learning more about the PATs Price Action Trading method as taught by Mack.
Why another new PATs journal now ?
The intent of this common …
Let me know if I am wrong, otherwise it is best to use that thread. It is open to everyone even though it was labeled as a journal. I can move it to the general section.
I agree with Happy Rick, the other thread was not specifically for ES but posting other instruments were not encouraged or welcomed.
Maybe it was because Mack only posts ES trades.
I'm not sure why the other thread suddenly died but there seems to be some underlying reason that I never understood.

I would like to keep this one as David stated other markets would not work in that thread. I used it along time. I don't understand what moving it to the general section means?
I'll weigh in on the side of using the older thread instead of creating a new one.
It appears that the old thread has pretty much died. I don't know why; perhaps the active posters just moved on, for whatever reasons.
It does not seem to me that starting a new thread on essentially the same topic will bring interest in it back to life. I would suggest that people who want to post on the Mack method could help revive it by posting on the older thread. If people want to follow and add to it, they will. It seems that another thread will succeed or fail on the same basis: if people want to post there, then they will, if not, then not. I agree with @DavidHP that a new thread will not solve whatever problems the old one had.
Of course, the main problem is that people are not posting there. It seems that one way to solve that is to start posting there....
Also, at one time there were many Mack threads running, and it was confusing to jump from one to another, which is why eventually all the Mack activity went to just one.
As to using the Mack method on YM or NQ as well as ES, I don't see this as a big problem to people who like this type of price action. At present, there is no Mack posting in ES or anything else. Mack does trade ES exclusively, which is why that was the emphasis before; but now, perhaps something is better than nothing.
Basically, if the intent is to revive Mack-style PA posting, I think the best way is to use the thread that is there. It does seem like a duplicate to me too.
Bob.
Edit: we might ask @trendwaves, the thread starter, his view on this, and on non-ES postings. Actually, I think I just did.
