Trading Action Reaction Lines - A Presentation

Recommended Posts

First off I should say I am a big fan of Tim Morge, I think his work is exemplary. There is little doubt (in my mind) that he is the real deal and possibly I would go as far as saying a 'trading great'.

 

He has just done a presentation on trading action reaction lines. It starts of with a history of how they came about then moves into drawing them and actually trading from them. Morge is one of these people that is not timid to talk about actually trading. Even if you don't have much interest in these lines I would still recommend a look. For example I always like to see how he talks through a trade from beginning to end and how he uses price action to manage his position. How to trade rather than just how to analyse.

 

It weighs in at an 1hour 40 minutes or more and I thought was pretty excellent. I should point out I am not affiliated in anyway shape or form, I just enjoy the stuff he presents and hope you might too.

You need to fill in a couple of details for the CME and it will download the WebEx player but they don't spam you in fact you can put any junk in if you so desire.

They are usually good however this one has stuff that he has not talked about before. (though has written of) whilst the core bits are always the same there are always interesting new twists. As I said before I like how he talks about managing trades, not many speak specifically about this.

 

There's a new series on medianline.com entitled "The Fed has got no Clothes" its from when he ran a currency desk and sometimes performed 'manoeuvres' for the Fed. Its only up to part 2 but a fun read so far. I think I can guess where its going. Part I is at the bottom.

 

I admire the guys energy and dedication to trading. Runs a fund, trades his own account, manages a prop shop, and helps floor traders make the transition off the floor to the screen. Still manages to find time to post freebies and do webinars while writing his second book and a fairly extensive speaking schedule. Apparently he has recently suffered poor health but seems to be back with a vengeance.

 

Worth checking out even if you have seen other presentations. As I said I am a bit of a fan so caveat emptor.

I was a fan several years ago and was in to it then. I Began to learn other tools and left it. Now am bringing it back as another way to see the playing field. Thanks for the link to the presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned much more.

 

Thanks Blowfish. I am a fan again after listening to Morge and getting some new setups to ponder. Hitting those lines with 80% likelihood after certain occurrences is something I want to watch and study more going forward.

 

Also Morge mentioned how important playback is for all traders and to be serious about learning, or forget about it. He is smooth and I like to listen to him.

thanks, guys for the link. I've been looking for a long time or some background how to use pitchforks. I just watch the webinar and was very informative. I'll test them out to see if they fit my method. Good stuff.

 

forsearch, your link doesn't seem to work. Please check.

Yeah he has traded for 35 years trades billions (apparently) but still spends the odd couple of hours here and there on the simulator!

 

There is a ton of good material on the medianline.com site look for the archives section. For anyone who is struggling with trade management its worth checking out, regardless of your methodology. It's nothing really new (using market structure/price action to manage trades) but there are many concrete examples of managing a trade from begining to end. The only thing I'd like to see is more failed trades.

The use of price action to manage the trade is what I use and he explains it quite well. Good stuff. Regarding the shifting the pitchforks requires a bit of know-how and practice that's for sure.

His approach (at its core) is actually quite similar to some discussed in well established threads here.

 

Draws 'lines' where price may reverse (or congest). Use price action to see if that is in fact happening. Enter and manage the trade (based on PA) until another 'line' is hit. He uses an energy metaphor (rather than supply demand for example). How he conducts business is really not so different.

    • 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.
