im thrilled for you man.
you have given me a chance to talk about something to everyone.
let what im about to say really sink in.
what im about to "say" is the key to the kingdom and im serious when i say that.
walk away and go find a quite spot and really think on it.
when your account is so large that a 5 percent return per month is more money than most yearly salaries then the throne is visible. problem is most people refuse to believe its really possible that they are worthy enough to sit on it.
lets step back though and think about what i just said.
i just said "when your account is so large"
those that can fund that size account from the start always lose it or at least part of it before fear drives them out of the game. does anyone really believe it could possibly be that easy? hey cousin joe loan me a million bucks and i will double it this month. i have many emails sent to me from people all over the world that have done just that and literally tell me that if they cant find a way to get it back they would rather kill themselves. my stomach flips when i get them. i would say i get half a dozen a year like that. now lets look at the situation most of you find yourselves in including me many years ago.
those that cant fund a large account from the start always lose it because they overtrade trying to get the large account.
think about what i just said. read both of them again.
i just said no one makes it and i just told all of you why.
i think 5 out of 100 is a stretch.
i think 5 out of 1000 is more accurate.
but dont let that discourage you.
why?
because the 5 didnt do anything that the other 995 couldnt do.
they were not lucky or smarter.
without exception they simply used common sense and in every case found a simple method THAT ALLOWS THEM TO TRADE SIDEWAYS MARKET ACTION AT BREAKEVEN OR BETTER.
NO ONE HAS EVER MADE IT IN THIS BUSINESS WITHOUT SOME RELIABLE METHOD OF TRADING CONSOLIDATION AT EITHER BREAKEVEN OR BETTER.
why has this material been so helpful to so many new treders for so many years?
because when they get good at it they can stay in the game in those times of consolidation which is what most markets spend most of there time doing.
what we do and teach here gives new and struggling traders the best chance at success i know of.
thats not my ego speaking.
thats almost 30 years of experience and more grief than any of you have or ever will experience in this business.
so what do we have here? when you get good at it you have..
1. a simple method that allows you to make money in a sideways market.
2. a simple method that allows you to catch the runners when they happen and if you guessed wrong breakeven at worst.
when you have a large account combined with common sense and this material you can walk up with confidencer and sit down on that throne.
those of you with small accounts must force yourselves to be patient with that future goal and possibility in mind.
i cant help you with that. i have tried every combination of words possible to try and convey that last sentence to you in a way that makes it happen.
words wont do it.
you simply will or you wont.
its a solitary one lane road.
funny thing is the road is not hidden.
its like the belief that people dont feel worthy to sit on the throne i spoke of.
some people fear or dont feel worthy to walk the road.
for those of you at that stage all i can say is i understand where you are.
ive been there.
i wish i could carry you but i cant.
its up to you.
................................... ................................... .........................
im enjoying the mountains very much and me being me ive been doing a lot of introspective work.
some of it may have just come out.

thanks casey,
the 3 to 5 trades a month approach while learning teaches you what you will need to know when you reach the large account level.
it will also help you get there in the first place.
funny thing happens when you get there though.
the 3 to 5 goes to 1 or 2 or sometimes none.
when one 100 pip trade off of a daily chart nets you a yearly salary trading is not so hard any longer.

truer words were never spoken in this thread.
not one of you would be the same trader in any way shape or form.
the same face will stare back at you in the mirror but you could literally change your name.
not one of you will trade the same.
not one of you will pick trades the same.
i have personally never seen this not to be true.
notsaying there are not exceptions but its a core truth of this business imho.

hello soh,
consolidation is a subjective term for most new traders and its why so many fail early.
consolidation is rarely subjective to someone who understands simple bar analysis and side to side support/resistance. I DID NOT SAY TREND LINES.
consolidation is a gold mine to me.
consolidation is where new traders get into drawdowns and loss after loss after watching profit after profit go up in flames because they do not care to understand side to side support and resistance.
consolidation to me is simply a way to daytrade off of a daily chart while waiting for a break of the consolidations support and resistance. if it does not break i get stopped at breakeven or a small profit which is fine.
HOPING FOR A BREAKOUT AND ALLOWING A HUGE DRAWDOWN AND THEN A HUGE LOSS AFTER YOU HAD VISUAL CONFIRMATION OF A FAILED BREAK OF SUPPORT OR RESISTANCE WILL KILL YOU EVERY SINGLE TIME. THERE IS NO CHANCE THAT ANYONE WILL EVER SUCCEED AT THIS WITH THAT APPROACH TO TRADING.
jacko understands this. check his stuff out for a slightly different approach but when it comes down to brass tacks everyone must learn this.
im stirring the pot a bit i guess but its important to me so im gonna keep stirring.
wish i could post a chart.

how do i determine whether we are in a range market of trending market?
do you mean a tight range e.g. 200 - 300 pip range or a larger range say 500-600 pips
sorry for the dumb question, but its always confused  me as to what traders mean by ranging market.
thank you for the golden nuggets

I don't know how long it will take before trading 100 a pip, but I'm working on getting to that point, one day at a time.

oops i forgot.
Bemac knows it also.
heck a lot of you know this.
knowing what we know is why we help people here.
right???
for 5 years i have been beating the drum.
it does not bother me at all that some question what i say.
its like an old friend after 5 years.
early on i used to shout profanities at posts here.
now i smile and say a little prayer.
i hope this person will give what i say a chance.
if he/she will they actually have a chance.
thats just how i feel folks.
its not an ego thing at all.

yes sir but the bars are secondary to some degree.
sure they give you a heads up but what determines the outcome is the pivot zones (side to side s/r)
when we get experienced at those we have the tiger by the tail. literally.
experience is of course a personal thing.
5 traders could take the same bar break and we will get varying outcomes as im sure your aware.
bottom line is if we are experienced enough losing long term is actually rather hard.
thats not a sentence used by many in this business is it?
its true here.
at least its true for those brave souls that dared to follow post one.

i see many candlestick patterns failed even for the famous ones, and wonder why james16 patterns work and wonder how they are derived.
can i say that they were based purely on your experience and observation?

ahh the brilliance of this old fart is beyond description.
bemac actually remembers rulers, pencils and graph paper like i do.
what would you guys do if you had to chart like we used to?
i still actually do it for fun sometimes.
ken sells great graph charts so i dont have to make them.
i love that guy. i swear i love that guy.
talk about taking it on the chin for several decades.
undeserved in my opinion.
solid human being in every respect imho.
ken who?
i aint sayin.
someone else can.

hello jimboo,
the day you can work out ryan will be the day you reach a level of understanding in this business very few reach.
it is much easier to become a doctor than a succesful trader.
but when you become a succesful trader it really is easy.
i can say with 100 percent certainty what he said is true.
i know it sounds convuleted but its the gods honest truth.
ryan says things all the time that boggle many of your minds but i shake my head in agreement.
you just have to climb the mountain and see that valley to understand.
words cant do it.
jim

40 years ago
At 10:56 p.m. EDT on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong descended the ladder of the Apollo 11 lunar module, becoming the first man to walk on the moon.
i was 8 years old and i can still remember the awe i felt watching it.
my father a hardened korean war vet cried like a baby.
i remember being in awe of that also.

here is what i did.
not for everyone but it worked for me.
1. for almost 8 years i blew small accounts. early on it was a combination of no knowledge and such a small amount meaning nothing. it was the perfect storm new traders fall into. small account combined with no knowledge and over trading.
2. towards the end of that 8 years i knew how to trade but the small account kept me over trading because i did not respect the amount a small move provided. in other words i would watch a win turn into a loss.
3. i quit trading live for a long time and saved my money but i kept demoing like a mad man.
4. when i came back it was with enough money that a small move meant something and as a result of that and the knowledge i had obtained by then things turned around.
5. the final key was following the outline in post 1.
the outline in post 1 is really just simple common sense.
took me a while to find some.
i always wonder how many of you would keep fighting for nearly a decade?

yes i know a couple.
one guy is an ex tax guy i know.
he is over 70 and i have known him a long time.
he started years ago with nothing playing covered calls.
thats what he still does to this day and he is very wealthy.
steady as a rock. if you want to get an idea of the personality type his name gives him away.
Norman Stemple
i changed his name just slightly.
yes he actually does carry pens in a pocket protector.
swear to god.
not many norman stemples here i would bet.

The impact of losses - no matter how small at the start are horrific in nature over time to the bottom line!

ITS TIME
IM SORRY ITS TIME.
if this is the beginning of the end for me here then so be it.
its been a great 5 year ride.
i love all of you and yes there are tears coming down my cheeks.
ok i will get out the voilin. lol.
chris was my friend. a good friend. i have no idea what happened. i have tried numerous times to find out.
it was the wierdest jeckell and hyde thing ive ever seen.
here is what is tough for me.
chris did not have to do it like this and i told him that even after most of you would have been boiling mad.
i liked chris so much i was willing to help him. I WOULD HAVE HELPED HIM GET STARTED.
all he had to do was be a man and not a troll.
its the trolls ive been fighting for 5 years here guys.
chris has hurt me. hurt me deeply.
the following is from chris himself just a few short months ago.
Jim -
I know you are pounded with emails everyday, most of which are asking questions, and asking for help, but I wanted to take the time to thank you.
As I have only been a member for a few short months, I still have a long way to go. However, for the first time in my short trading career, I feel that I am truly going to make it. Actually, I should say I know. My results are getting better and better. I cannot tell you the frustration I have had in the previous months before finding my new "internet home."
I have to admit, that spending the fee every month kept me away for some time. However, I can honestly say this: It is some of the best money I have ever spent. Your monthly fee has become almost like another "monthly expense" in some ways. A lot like the phone bill. I don't think or worry about it, I just know it's something that is necessary. I feel this group is THAT important. Actually, in all fairness, I believe this group gives me more for my money than the other "bills".
I have been following mbqb11's "My exit strategy" thread lately. He just put out a video today that really opened my eyes on a daily pinbar in the AUD/USD pair I played about 2 weeks ago....I could very easily still be in that trade, and now I know why.
This thread is a perfect example of what you have accomplished. It still amazes me that total strangers (who aren't being paid.) are willing to go way out of their way to post videos to help other strangers. (The fact this amazes me is probably what's wrong with this world. But that's another conversation.)
While yes....I would say your strategies are great, I believe that the true testimony to what you have started is the very fact that the members really do try to help each other. There are so many different people helping others, and paying to be here at the same time. The group is the only place on the net where genuine concern for others is so obvious. In a business where greed and fear drive everything, this is truly an amazing accomplishment.
I just wanted to thank you, and to remind you of how proud you should be of this endeavor.
Your friend and #1 fan,
Clockwork71/Chris
CHRIS I STILL WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND.
PLEASE DONT CONTINUE WITH THIS.
YOUR A BETTER PERSON THAN THAT AND I WOULD STILL HELP YOU

ITS VERY UPSETTING FOR ME TO SEE ANYONE, FRIEND OR STRANGER NOT UNDERSTAND THIS.
i guess i just grew up in a different time.
this is why i fear for the world to come for my kids.

I agree it's unfair,
What then Jim?

laying it out
i just posted this over "in that thread".
ive kept some things private for a long time but its time to let some things come out. my dad taught me you do right and you dont go around talking about it. ... well dad i have, for several years in this case but dad some things are going on that requirre i open up a bit.
................................... ................................... ..........................
see there is another misconception.
im gonna lay it out today. like i said its time.
the group breaks even many months and its been a regular occurence since the economic downturn.
there are more than twice the number of free members than still paying.
i never advertise so that compounds the problem. i have full permission to do it here as often as i like BUT I DONT EVEN DO THAT.
now im going to blow some minds with whats coming next.
i pay out almost 15,000 per month to people that help me teach and take care of newbies both in the group and here AND guess what? up until march when chris started the thread which caused me to wonder what he was up to he was ALSO GETTING PAID. are you starting to understand?
NONE OF YOU HAVE THE SLIGHTEST CLUE WHAT IVE BEEN DOING FOR 5 YEARS BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME YOUR BEING GIVEN A GLIMPSE.
i am not a poor person. i enjoy helping people.
THE GROUP HAS NEVER BEEN A BUSINESS. THE GROUP IS A SPIT IN THE FACE OF ALL THE SCUM IN THIS BUSINESS I HAVE DEALT WITH FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS.
combine the above pay with site costs and some months i take money out of my pocket.
its just impossible for you guys to believe that someone would do what i do and i understand that.
will i ever partner or advertise. yes probably but it will be in an ethical manner.
almost 10 people every month count on what i pay them.
they deserve every penney.
they help you and those yet to come and they allow me to continue to build my house in heaven with a few good works.
Jim

WHAT Happened
FORGIVE ME GUYS/GALS BUT I MUST WORK THRU THIS.
................................... ................................... ...........................
the chris i know did not act like this. im honestly worried about the guy.
is this how someone that wants your money and respect should act? this is mentally unstable stuff folks.

................................... ................................... ...............................
You sound like you have been reading my email that I get from him. You sound like you have already seen what's on my site. You sound like you have some kind of clue as to why I am left. You sound like you understand the reality of the situation. I would say I am surprised by all the drama, but I'm not - some people can't help themselves - like a moth to the flame.
Thank God, they are normally the people that give me their pips.
One thing I can say is this: I am too busy making a kick-ass site to get bogged down in the drama.
I am sure something will be worked out, but until then - people like you have no opinion.
................................... ................................... .............................
I WILL SHARE EVERY EMAIL I HAVE SENT HIM.
I WILL POST A COPY OF THE CHECKS I SENT HIM.
I WILL STILL BE HIS FRIEND IF HE CAN SOMEHOW SHOW SOME KIND OF PROOF THAT HE IS NOT MENTALLY ILL.
I COULD HAVE YOU BANNED RIGHT NOW WITH ONE EMAIL CHRIS.
HOW MUCH MORE OF A GENTLEMEN AND DECENT PERSON ARE YOU WANTING?
I AM ASKING YOU RIGHT NOW TO EMAIL ME WITH YOUR PHONE NUMBER WHERE I CAN CALL YOU.
THIS CAN BE WORKED OUT BUT I AM BEGINNING TO THINK IM NOT DEALING WITH A MENTALLY STABLE PERSON.
PROVE ME WRONG AND CONTACT ME.

thank you skong.
i think sometimes new people dont stop and think just how long 5 years really is.
ive returned almost 8000 emails and pm's from this thread.
i have record of every single one of them.
never charged a dime nor ever solicited a dime from one of them.
how did i get here?
im still not sure.
will i stay here?
still not sure of that either.

hello kk,
if i understand you correctly your saying a pin bar short from the 4900/5000 area would find trouble on the way down at your level.
that would be wonderful because that would be around a 500 pip gain.
pivot zones are your friend not your enemy.
did i understand you correctly?

thats part of my passion with this business.
i love sifting thru charts.
i trade stocks mostly on weekly/monthly charts so its not that time consuming.
this business is a hell of a lot of fun when you have enough money to be ultra ulktra ultra picky.
took me a lot of heartache to figure out trading with a small account is damn near impossible.
sorry but thats how i see it.
fundies?
whats that, something the good humour man sells?

This is a truly amazing statement.
why?
The "truth" behind this statement is "KNOWN" by many but its like an imaginary fog to new people.
The fog is in there imagination.
Its not really there.
The fog is self imposed and its imposed because people think things must be difficult and complicated to be of use or worth.
How do i remove the fog?
by telling people to be ultra ultra picky.
its a bit of trickery on my part.
why do i do this?
because those that are destined to eventually see that the fog is not real will not discover it by me telling them its not real. They will discover it by themselves thru time effort and practice.
i pump my fists when i see this happen.
your not asked to join this "club". you find the door and walk thru it. on the other side are those that found it before you did. welcome.
do you have to be ultra ultra picky?
of course not but you have to know when to get in and get out.
is there a damn thing wrong with just remaining ultra ultra picky?
of course not.
does it not stand to reason if you can make money not being picky your pretty much set if you decide to trade with a good size account and be picky?

here is something i recieved today.
i very very very rarely do this in the free thread.
im doing this to say something.
success is not a destination. its a journey and a damn fun one if you allow it to be.
example?
my "day jobs" are to numerous to list but they are not "jobs". i do the things i enjoy.
i live and breath for challenges in life ladies and gents.
the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat BOTH make me feel alive.
to many people live there lives in the stands watching the game.
i want to be on the field playing as hard as i can.
live or die, win or lose matters not.
I WILL NOT STAND AT THE END OF MY LIFE AND WONDER WHAT IF.
use common sense, pace yourself, love to learn, expect to be knocked on your ass often and realise obstacles and difficulties are almost always hidden oppurtunities that NEVER show themselves to quitters and people of low integrity.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Jim,
I just wanted to send you an email saying thank you. I'm no longer a member of the J16 group not because it didn't work for me, just because I didn't use your services anymore. What you taught me finally struck and it worked. It worked damned well. You know what? There has only been 1 trade I've ever been stopped out on since I'm found my groove, and that day I didn't even lose money. It was when I got a signal on the GBPJPY and the EURJPY to buy both, one stopped me out and one went for it. This is like 50+ trades and only 1 loss. I don't even stress about trades or being in trades anymore, I just keep sniping away at the market. Sure I'll see price going to a reistance level and think, oh price is gonna bounce off it, and it does, but if I don't get price action I don't take the trade simple. Its those trades that a real eye sore, its at a strong resistance, its has a beautiful pin, its got a few hundred pips before the next major resistance, yeah I'm really comfortable taking those, then heading off to the gym.
Now the reason I didn't use your services anymore, to be honest I didn't need your teaching anymore. I already knew it, I have my style it works. I didn't want to try anything else cause hey, its working, I put my time into it, and I'm making money from it. I have a busy life and a few hobbies which are extremely time consuming. If anything I looked forward more to hearing from you, that your teachings. I didn't even log into the website or check my emails from you for a few months, so thats why I made my decision.
I just wanted to let you know that what your doing it works. You gave me such a hope in my life, you couldn't even believe how happy I am now. This is thanks to your group. Success, money and financial freedom is one thing, but happiness is sure another. Thank you Jim, for all your hardwork and effort, I really applaud what you do.

i got news for you benji my friend.
money makes things easier and thats about it.
whats the greatest thing money ever did for me?
when i finally had some i still felt totally unfullfilled and it triggered a spiritual search in my life and i dont mean religion.
a journey inwards instead of outwards.
im convinced life is just a "school" and im also convinced when its over we will have a good laugh at how silly it was for so many of us to be so neurotic about everything. me included.

your a seeker mike.
ive known it since the first days i met you.
you know your on "the path" when two things happen.
1. these "wonderings" begin to consume you. you literally agonize over them.
2. you begin to notice that when your mean or angry or even slightly less than kind you suffer. i mean you really suffer inside from your actions.
its an often painful road but its value is beyond description where its leading.
might be time to start that section in the group back up.

dont be discourage soh.
discouraged is when you had to use a ruler, pencil, graph paper and a newspaper to trade. lol.
no one should ever be discouraged these days.
btw denz is a good guy. we might be miss interpreting him to some degree.
keep the faith buddy.

I am simply taking a year or two off to get good at this so I can have an ease and lack of effort around income. Then I'll be able to throw my energies 100% back to doing what I really love. The journey...

DEAD ON.
COULD NOT AGREE MORE.
you can open an account with them and just use the account to pay for the charting.
its just 99 plus fees that way.

Also tradestation is easy to use and I have messed with most charting software including the $600 a month CQG

FOOD FOR Thought
I saw this post today in the group by Matiasfx and thought i would share it.
"Although the cheetah is the fastest animal in the
world and can catch any animal on the plains, it will wait until it is
absolutely sure it can catch its prey. It may hide in the bush for a
week, waiting for just the right moment. It will wait for a baby
antelope, and not just any baby antelope, preferably one that is sick
or lame. Only then, when there is no chance it can lose its prey, does
it attack. That, to me, is the epitome of professional trading".
Mark Weinstein from Market Wizards, Jack D Schwager.
I have said many times that the only thing i teach is experience.
In my opinion based on personal experience the above quote tells you why
so few make it in this business.
If you were literally starving would/could you sit and wait for not just a
fairly easy meal THAT MIGHT get away or would/could you wait for a sure
thing, a GUARUATEED MEAL.
The cheetah will probably starve if it does not focus on its best chance
for a meal.
Traders that do not follow the same thought process will fail.
I GUARUNTEE they will fail.
almost 30 years of personal experience tells me that.
If and when you reach a point where 2 or 3 guarunteed "meals" a month
provides you the dream of no boss and fnancial freedom you will also
patiently wait for the lame baby antelope to cross your path.
The problem for almost all of you is being that picky with a small
account.
What can i say?
I understand where your at. Ive been there.
What can i tell you?
All i can do is be honest.
If your going to chase every healthy baby antelope that gets within half a
mile your going to starve. ( ie - marginal 4 hour trades etc...etc...)
I guarantee it.
The solution?
Treat this as a business even with a small account and be ok that it might
take you 5 or 10 years to build a nice size account.
Let me say once again what i did many many years ago.
After 8 years of chasing the healthy baby antelope and starving i quit
chasing it.
I stopped trading for around 2 years and demoed while i saved my money
for an account size where those 2 or 3 guaranteed meals a month meant
enough to me to wait for the lame baby antelope

i can testify to this.
your a lot like me.
i drive a lot of people nuts.
just recently i contacted a physics professor at cal berkley because of something he wrote about pulsars/ astrophysics. this is another one of my hobbies. ive had telescopes so big it required two people to set it up.
took me 3 weeks to get thru to him and he flat could not believe i was some 50 year old guy in texas reading an obscure paper he wrote 3 years ago.
ive called him 3 times now and i can tell by his voice he thinks im a stalker or something. lol.
i could care less if he likes me or not im trying to understand something im interested in.
its in his brain and damned if im going to give up until i get it out and understand it.
thought you might like that story sto.

Notice the 61% fib as well.
Not every trader uses these tools in conjunction, or at all. PA & S/R is bedrock. EMA's - some use them. Fib's - Some use them.
the trick is to look for areas of confluence using factors known to work.

MINI DOW
4000 tick mini dow chart.
high odds trades.
most people that daytrade this/these markets trade on a tick chart in the 50 to 250 range and take many trades a day.
its why there usually gone and broke in a couple of months.
im trying to win and stay away from anything to do with the word boss and all the crap and misery that comes with it. been a long time but i remember.
i remember well enough to be smart and picky with my trades no matter what market it is.
thought you might enjoy a little change from forex. its my intention to start posting more of these.

ok here we go. someone wake ghous up cause hes gonna like this.
i have a lot of things that interest me.
most make money. not all but most.
i have been a reptile nut all my life.
i work with pythons and these are ball pythons.
i have worked for years to produce rare snakes.
some people that lead this research make millions but its all consuming for them. its just a fun hobby for me and my son and its going to easily put him thru college.
the white snakes are a 3 year project for me and my son. they are not as super rare as they were a couple of years ago but i think i could easily say there are less than 1 or 2 thousand of them in the world. just a guess and could be less.
the others are mojaves and lessers. breeding a lesser and a mojave together gives you a 1 in 4 chance (or is it 8) to produce a white snake.
you have to raise the female to around 3 years of age before she will breed and the average clutch size is 4 to 6 eggs.
as you can see its no guaruntee. i beat the odds on this clutch with two white snakes.
the other picture is of 5 lesser hatchlings. they are very much in demand and should easily bring 7 hundred to 1000 each depending on sex.
i have a clutch set to hatch in october that could be REALLY COOL.
just more proof that im clearly out of my mind.

there are blue eyed and black eyed.
the genetics would only be of interest to people like me and you so i wont get into it.
seems like someone comes up with a new way to produce a white snake every year.
mike is right down the road from bob clark.
bob got mike started like a lot of people doing this either in person or thru his early research many years ago.

Congragulations once again,
BTW Mike at constrictors says leucies can only be produced from a fire, or is it only for the black eyed leucies or some other specialized leucistic variation that he is talking about?

gee whiz.
i wouldnt swim off the coast of australia and i wouldnt swim in a river in south america.
period/paragraph.
i have held and owned several reticulated pythons that were 15 to 20 feet long.
got rid of them when i had kids.
they get around your neck and no one else is around and they decide to constrict your history unless you can get to a knife before you pass out.
its not a feeding response as much as it is a squeezing response to warmth.
they should not be pets.

ive never had anyone dig as hard as supreme to get to the bottom of things.
the most curious person i have seen here in 5 years easy but he goes about it in a kind and respectful way so i always try to quench his curiosity.
lol
ive been keeping and raising reptiles since i was 12 or 13.
there are many many morphs. they can range from 20 dollars to 50,000 or more.
pricing depends on a lot of factors.
recessive or dominent genes/age etccc.
males make people money in this business.
grown females are treasured but young males are more expensive than there female counterparts.
males can breed at less than a year and females take at least 2 and usually 3 or 4.
ball pythons are terribly fussy eaters.
they can go off feed for months.
if that happens you can add that time to your already long wait for maturity.
i recently had a male go 9 months without eating and its very common to have a female go 6 months.

do u have plans to pursue herpetology or something?
i'll take these questions into PM if need be. Thanks & thanks for sharing!
of interest to breeders & enthusiasts, people like us
is that cooler than cool or what

very good of you ice.
snakes serve a very good purpose as a rodent barrier.
dont get me wrong. if a poisonous snake is found near my house its a gonner. cant take that risk but very very few people think that way.
if its a snake its dead.
most people unless they live in certain parts of the world will never see a poisonous snake.
they are abundant in my area but i have never seen one unless i was actually out looking for it. which i do.
i hear people all the time saying they killed a copperhead in my area.
rubbish.
99.999 percent chance they killed a corn snake which is nothing but a good thing to have around.

Was able to get the box out to the woods behind the house and let 'em go. Since we no longer have cats, snakes do a good job keeping the mice out.

baby snakes are almost always more of a threat.
there venom is much more concentrated.
a baby copperhead can kill a grown man.
a grown copperhead will just make you very sick for a while.
i know a guy that was bitten on the arm by a copperhead and didnt even go to the dr. i used to hunt them with him as kids. he was 5 years older than me.
that same guy went on to become a highly respected zoo herp director in my area.

I've heard the baby copperheads are worst because they don't know when to let go or something like that....?

ive been waiting for this. not a stupid question at all. a great one.
that video series is just a way to teach people how and why price reacts right after a trade is entered.
its designed to create confidence and skill with trading around s/r areas regardless of set up quality.
the individual trader must decide what kind of a trader he/she is and what he/she is comfortable with.
is there anything wrong with watching price hit a first area of s/r and pull back into a drawdown while waiting for a target that is further out?
NO. but it better be a quality set up.
some people dont like the stress of drawdowns. im one of them.
i personally would rather "hope" for a runner with my stop at breakeven than "hope" for a target area while in a drawdown.
once again its trader descretion.
