Re: Taylor Trading Technique

....why does everyone keep saying the same thing over and over again....
?????
... has anyone missed their turn at interpreting this quote ?


... up trend has more up days than down.... down trend has more down days than up ....
.... nobody can disagree with that....
....that's what i call a cycle.... B/M/S/B ... OR ... S/M/B/S ....
.... or else ... B/M/M/S/B .... S/M/M/B/S

... on a 3 day cycle... in an uptrend... there is one down day ..... and two up days...
... on a 3 day cycle in a down trend... there is one up day .... and two down days....
.... this is a very simple concept....

.... your interpretation of Taylor's book.... IS YOUR OWN SPIN....
.... unless you are .... Taylor himself...

..... let's dig up Taylor himself... and we can find out who is spinning what around here....
....until then.... let's keep reinterpreting the same quote to suit our own... egos...

Re: Taylor Trading Technique

... yep... you are right WHY ... there are more down than up days in an up trend...
.... and more up days than down days in a down trend....
... now that we have established that the market goes up in a down trend and down in an up trend...
...next topic... who can piss the farthest ? i vote for Taylor...

.... i just spoke with Taylor himself... and he informed me ... that your take on his method is baloney....
.... i'll let you know if he calls me again....
.... you want to turn TL into ET... go ahead....

...WHY if you want to discuss how your interpretation of Taylor's writing with differs with mine... you should PM me....
... this forum is not the place for a pissing match...
....otherwise... focus on your own methods....

You are confused about taylor's methods and unless you can be more open minded you probally won't ever learn his methodology. On top of that you are distorting taylors methodology for other traders on this thread by presenting concepts taylor never presented yet you are trying to label them as taylor. So...as far as I am concerned just go ahead and stew in your own errors if that is what you wish to do. By the way; you never answered the question "Where did Taylor ever say that???" You didn't because you can't. I dont have the time to argue so look at it however, you want to. Others viewing this thread and trying to learn taylor may need to see that what you are doing isn't the Taylor Trading Technique....which is what I thought this thread was about! Happy trading.

Re: Taylor Trading Technique

Bull market/bear market are BOTH full of many 3 day cycles. One must understand that the 3 day cycle IS NOT in itself the bear or bull market. Any prolonged bear or bull market will have any number of the three day cycles in it and per Taylor the continuity of the cycles stays the same. The rules that govern each day of the cycle take into account the market manipulation when in a bull or bear market. No where does taylor ever advocate changing the 3 day cycle simply because a bear market has made the turn into a bull market. As a matter of fact one cannot even know if a bear market has actually turned into a bull market until sufficient trading sessions take place to determine that. So there is no reason to flip the cycle just because it "appears" there may be a change from a bear to a bull. One could easily be wrong in assuming the market is going bull on two or three days of a minor uptrend. It could still end up being a bear market after 3 or 4 days. That is easily seen over and over on any daily chart.

Re: Taylor Trading Technique

The cycles exist because there must be market stability. Manipulators cannot ALL the time drive markets straight up and straight down or no one would want to trade, as it would be too risky. So, many times markets are taken up in slower bull trends that have many 3 day cycles in it. These cycles stabilize the markets and allow a manipulator to make money many times over on the up and downs of the market as the three day cycles take place within the bull market. Same thing for a bear market. Much more money can be made in many up and down smaller trends as the larger bull trend unfolds than if one took a position at the bottom of the bull trend and sold at the top. The book "The Profit Magic of Stock Transaction Timing " by J.M. Hurst Clearly shows that point. It is much more profitable to trade the short term trends over and over than buy at the bottom of a bull market and sell at the top.

Re: Taylor Trading Technique

"POST 703... i have friday as buy day on a B/M/S/B cycle...

POST 708: ... today... tuesday... was short day by my count....
.... and wednesday will be buy day
"

There is glaring contradiction here, if Friday is a Buy Day, then as per Post 703, Tuesday should be a Buy Day and Wednesday should be a M Day.

OR if wednesday is a buy day, then Friday following M day(Thursday) has to a sell day.


Not that it matters one iota to another trader who has proven/tested strategies in place for intraday trading for each day of the cycle

Think for meaningful discussion here, it is imperative to refrain from person attacks and insults not only on the forum but via unwelcomed Private Messages as well. Name calling via PM like "Joker, Jackass, without balls" etc is not very productive, perhaps Soultrader should look into this otherewise this thread is coming to a grinding halt for it looks like anybody who posts here is considered as wrong, faces unnecessary hostility and instructed to migrate to ET.
