Ok, i think i have answered my own question here. http://apexinvesting.net/the-nadex-stop-plug-in-training-course/
Now, I remember looking at this video but not knowing how relevant for lack of better words as this video shows the scanner while still embedded in the Apex site itself. I can not even get the embedded scanner to pull up for me at all, i apparently joined after the change. So, much of the reference herein i am “click trying” on the new scanner with some undirected frustration. Not to mention the revelation that i have been scattered in my search for direction due to confusion of things here > https://forum.apexinvesting.com/t/thursday-apex-webinar-11-20-2015-apex-thursday-webinars-izone-sharpshooter-entry-rules-clarified/4993 . I have been quite “suspect” of the videos and information i am trying to absorb at this point. Not in the way of legitimacy, but fear of mixing information again.
I am going to assume this is an older video before the change, as the extension Darrell is instructing to be installed into chrome is now out dated and instructed to be removed in this fourm post here> How to properly transition to the new scanners . Now, through more digging i have also found > https://forum.apexinvesting.com/t/apex-thursday-webinars-07-09-2015-new-binary-scanner-training/3663 . At time stamp 12:00 - 12:40. Looking at it today, this video is still older than what is in use today, but also informed me that as a paid member that is the scanner you are able to use. So, if i was not infact a member, would the one embedded on the Apex site still be available? To sum this up, I am just looking at the question of platforms not matching base instructional videos 700+ days old and the intimidation factor of getting something wrong not looking at what the instructor is
There seems to be something missing between videos 4 and 5 of the Stop Plug Training course, as 4 ends with the explanation of setting buy/sells vs working/filled. (summarized) 5 begins with Stop Monitoring, where there was nothing discussed of Stop Monitoring discussed up to that point in training.
Going back to the core question, What does the function do, what parameters to use when setting values etc is best explained in video Module 10 in the Stop plug training. to my beginners ear
In Module 9 unit 1 my mind is blown as a new trader with “Taking out the book”. Now, when my account more closely reflects my demo account; i’m sure this will be of great importance. But as a new trader, following my rule as to never trade more than one contract until i have proved to myself i am confident in what i am doing, this module…has me jumping to find what i need to know trading onesies / twosies.
I apologize if this seemed like a rant, it is not the intention. Just connecting other dots of my misguided mistakes, though the serious difference in scanner presentation threw me for a huge loop. Partly wanting to dismiss the visual differences and just watch the tickets and listen, but being somewhat tech savvy enough/ newbie scared enough to know clicking the wrong button on the wrong platform probably will not give you the same results.
In summary, as I learn the system with APEX and NADEX i will begin to be able to decypher older videos from recent, and what i might be able to take away from them or discard!
