Taylor Trading Technique

The beat goes on, after all these years...........

Hi Farridin

If you wanted to learn to play golf, what would you do?

Read everything you can find on Golfers Laboratory. Study all the books on the subject.Talk to lots of golfers.And practise on the range... lots.     SIM . Then you have a few real games.Not quite what you expected.you need some lessons!

The same with TTT. Find a mentor.And if you have to pay Richbois, it will save you years of struggle.

You must have the same chart as the expert and follow him with the count, see when he enters/exits. Otherwise you are wasting your money.

Try Elovermore, if hes still around.

And after all the lessons, you will face five up days in a row  F..k   Nobody explained this

And the you face  nine down days in a row, double f..k

Good luck

Hi Farridin

Some more morality

John the apostle wrote Revelation. He then helped George Taylor write TTT.

Both incomprehensible

You can use both books to "press"leaves.

Theres another thread on TL ," Beyond Taylor ", which has some useful info

It was started by Mishibushi, a London car dealer, but very knowledgable.

The posts used to be numbered, but no more

Look for Patucas posts from  page 29. He is the only trader I have seen to start a book,trade daily using TTT, document it, and show a profit

Worth a read

Regards

Hey Bob, 

Really appreciate the input, will certainly check those out. Also sounds like you have a negative view on the Taylor method. Am I right?

I get your thoughts in your previous post about a mentor and I agree that having a mentor can certainly speed up the learning process, maybe its something I will look into a some point but I am hoping this thread will have a lot of the answers. Especially if we can get some activity going on the thread again. There must be people out there still trading this method and also those new to it like myself wanting to learn.

To be honest I ended up skipping past a lot of elovermore posts as I found his post as hard to read as the Taylor book itself. Also from what I picked up on he was explaining/trading it in his own way compared to how WHY?, Dogpile & Richbois explained everything. I certainly made progress from WHY? posts. Its a shame he hasn't been on TL for sometime.

I live in London myself so maybe can try get in touch with Mishibusi and thanks for letting me know about the beyond Taylor thread will certainly be going through that. 

Many thanks.

Regards,

Farridin

I see some people have their own interpretation of Taylor's method but I would like to understand pure Taylor before deviating.


You can’t understand anything “before deviating”. .. you already deviated.  There is no such thing as pure Taylor.  Even Taylor himself had no “pure Taylor“ to utilize. Consciously or not, you are already running some variant of TTT in your head. 
... ie ... It is impossible to not have your own interpretation... Nothing wrong with that ... and nothing wrong with TTT


And it is impossible to have your own interpretation     https://www.real.video/5811888545001


btw to believe in TTT you must believe in ‘campaigns’, very short term campaigns in this case... ie you have to be a con spiracy theorist :).  I should know... I’ve always been a con spiracy theorist:)

... Sun Tzu wrote “Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate.”  If you are going to persist with TTT or similar methods, learn to type the auction.  That way you’ll know when to and when not to TTT (more generally aka cycles) ie you know when ‘your little’ TTT crowd can still play  and when they have to  step aside instead of trying to beat down (or up) larger crowds of much more motivated participants...

I have also studied Taylor "trading it for about a year about 25 years ago" and Crabel who I still study to this day.  What I have discovered is that time based data has a poisonous effect on most methods.  If you apply these methods to non time based data such as range bars I think you will find much more consistency.

The painful truth - TTT does not backtest well at all.  Plain TTT, 'fractal' TTT, ‘statefull’ TTT, 'filtered' TTT,  ‘intelligent’ TTT, whatever - none backtest well.  Any successfully applied TTT is ‘artfully’ applied TTT.

One other salient point - TTT performance deteriorated over the years ... took a real steep dive circa 93-94 ish and has never come back (except for a couple short random runs)...      this is why I say things like “it used to be a good ‘crowd’. It’s not anymore.”

    • Agreed since some of the new traders usually lose money in start and some loses more while chasing their lost money and eventually ends up blaming to their brokers part.
    • The crypto market are also in phase of maturing like the forex and other trading assets so we can do much more accurate analysis than before since early days it was purely a luck if the investments in crypto bears results because most of the coins or tokens never come to fruition. Some early birds were also able to make profits on these tokens or coins. e,g., like turtle coin starts with 1 satoshi and go up to 7 sathoshis, quite good rewards. another token lmgx now hovering at 10 started from 1, 
    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • 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.
