One theory I am testing out

Recommended Posts

Im testing out a trading setup based on market understanding.

 

We had a wide value area today for 64 points. Now combining this information with the fact that we had a %TREND of 60.78% yesterday, I am interested in finding out the percentage of time the markets will remain inside of value.

 

Today the markets chopped around all over the place inside value. This seems to occur alot after a nice trend day with a wide value area.

 

The markets did provide good long opportunities from the value low pivot but it spend some time trending in between VAH and VAL respecting the daily pivot a number of times.

 

This analysis will be continued....

Im still trying to devise one actually. It would make more sense to me if the markets tested the lower and upper extreme of value. I am still trying to figure out a method to understand why prices hover in between. Notice how the daily pivot was pretty much in the middle of the two value pivots.

 

Perhaps I can set a target at the daily pivot when this happens instead of trying to ride it out towards the other extreme. I will keep you posted if I find anything insightful.

Is this not just an example of markets being over bought and over sold, but just over a very very short timescale?

 

Maybe you could incorporate an RSI (Relative Strength Index) into your new theory?

 

Then maybe compare the market movement, to the trend / shifts in the other major worldwide markets?

I just don't like the concept of overbought or oversold. I dont believe any market should be considered "overbought/oversold". Its a reallly bad way of putting things.

 

Im still trying to organize my thoughts on this one... been testing out some strategies but none seem to make any sense yet. Will keep you posted.

Perhaps another way to describe "overbought" and "oversold" would be relative strength?

 

Relative strength against the market / sector, etc is an easily definable variable. It can also be a very useful indicator, especially for the short term trader.

 

The beauty about markets is that no matter how hard we try to track and predict movements, we can never be sure. That is why we all enjoy the challenge that the "market" offers.

 

Its every Trader against the market!!

Yea.. relative strength may be better. Different sectors tend to be laggers or leaders depending on the current economical cycle.

 

Indexes also tends to lead one another. FTT, are you familar with intermarket analysis? If so, would love to hear your opinion on the global markets.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
