2/27 the Big Picture

Recommended Posts

thought I would post a screen shot showing how I like to use MP

 

what you should see is that our first area of resistance was 1369-72 which we finally broke through on 2/25, the expected next stop would be 1387 and that is what we needed to get over today to move up to the 1396 area, if we break that, 1416 here we come, otherwise, a nasty drop back down to 1358

 

note I am not using value areas, IB, etc etc...shape/development and POC is what I am concerned about

Thanks subq -

 

So are you using the POC as an area that you expect to revisit on following days and assessing the implications of a revisit or a failure to revisit? Sorry, might be a dumb question ...

no dumb questions

 

POC = Value

 

which is why I don't really find a reason to look at value areas, IB, etc etc...

 

naked POCs are very strong magnets

 

think about it in the sense that a POC is where lots and lots of business took place, so it makes sense that business needs to take place there again

I'm not into MP per se, but I do trade support and resistance and pay close attention to the "midpoints" of the ranges as defined by volume. All this predates MP by many, many years, though (Wyckoff, to be exact). As such, I do find the extremeties to be worth noting as the trips back to the midpoint (what MP calls the "POC") are more reliable with regard to entry points and management than are the trips away from the midpoint to support or resistance.

 

For example, the midpoint in the NQ has been 1780 for weeks now. Trading the support and resistance extremes from this back to 1780+/- has been not only simple but easy. This will all end when we break out of this hinge, but, in the meantime, it's been a pleasure.

Db,

 

I am just starting to tinker with MP in addition to using VSA and Wyckoff and it apppears quite good. I need to look at more trades and gather a few more stats.

 

Previously, I had just used pivot points and the previous day's high or low. I had a little bit of previous exp. with MP having studied it for a bit last summer. I believe the reason why both are complimentary are they are both based on volume which is a method of trading based on sound logic.

 

I just want to give another note of thanks to Soul Trader as I watched his videos using the two and. For example, today the ER2 opened below VAL and it showed clear weakness as defined by VSA and Wyckoff as it approached the area and rejected the VAL twice on a 3 min chart. Get short. Then it penetrated the PDL on volume and started to pullback on lower volume. Get short again.

    • 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/
