Setups Analisis, Timing Analisis

Recommended Posts

Hello fellow traders ¡¡ its has been some time since I dont write something down here... so let me share something here...

 

I am taking some vacations on futures trading and giving myself some time to do research on forex... must confess a very stimulating experience, by the way talking about stress on other threads, I must confess taking some distance from tick charts lately and being looking 1 min and now even 5 min charts ¡¡¡ has been very relaxing... not extrictly that I am going into long term here, but the short term on forex is much relaxing than our usual waco speed on futures...

 

On this little thread I wanted to point out some two big AREAS of analisis that a good trader must have under control and master to be succesfull...

 

this two areas should be somehow independent by themselfs... and then integrated into one...

 

One area of analisis is the SETUP.... thats where we have an argument as to "why" are we going to enter into a position... here we can argue so many things, like for example Breaks, continuations, reversals, rejections, failed moves, contractions, expansions, patterns, volume, deltas, MP`s... bla bla bla... big area of analisis, lots of schools of thought... but thats where we argument our bussiness on the setup analisis...

 

The second area of analisis is the TIMING analisis, here is where we study the "when"... many good traders do well on setups but when it comes to timing they have a hell of a trouble doing so... in some ocations the setup himself may provide a hint into timing... but sometimes this is not the case...

 

I am convinced that timing should be an independent school of analisis and not necesarily be dependent to the setup analisis...

 

My ideal way of aproaching a technical research is going with the setup analisis on one part and doing timing analisis on the other part and then integrating both together into one final product...

 

This makes possible the independent and non compromised setup analisis without any bias in terms of timing, giving place to some neat new timing aproaches as they can show their best alternatives and not submited to any particular setup...

 

Maybe this topic sound unfamiliar to some traders, it really depends on what stage of analisis experience you got maybe to understand me and valorize what I am trying to say here...

 

Now to make it more simple let me give some examples of what I am talking about...

 

So far Walter has presented some kind of "universal" timing method that he applies to diferent types of setups, and that is the case with CCI... you can notice on diferent threads where he presents various types of setups like "flip", "false break", "lazy" etc... where he uses for all of them the same CCI timing method crossing levels like 50, 100 or 0 lines ... thats a universal and independent timing analisis that can be used on so many diferent type of setup analisis... I dont know if you get me...

 

So thats one way to go on the method of creating finaly an "X" trade... you will combine a determined setup you found to be reliable and you make your timing with a universal timing method that works like a charm for you, that you feel confortable and that it makes your life easier and stressfree...

 

Thats basicly is how I organize my research process and it gives me some nice results so far... SO

 

what is the purpose of writing this... well I am doing an open resaerch on forex ( for those who are following ) and had presented various setup ideas....you may have noticed that I did try to use my universal timing method with CCI wich I find it does well sometimes on forex and sometimes not that well... so this relaxed days I have been using them to research on some new independent "universal" timing method to be applied into forex...

 

On this process I did tour some forex forums and had some fun encountering very professional people who are developing incredible things that I could not get even near to them like a guy called fxcruiser who is developing last generation indicators, and I also saw some funny things from amateurs who amused me quite... all diferent thing in terms of setups as of timing... there is also lot of junk out there not worth loosing time...

 

So I will be creating a new thread about this new "universal" timing method that I will use for forex... and then on separate threads I will present some new setups that I am considering where you will notice how I use my universal timing method... ok Dont want to make this any longer... stay tuned... cheers Walter.

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
