Calculating Intraday Turning Points

Recommended Posts

I have been reading this forum since Feb of this year and have really learned and enjoyed it a lot. I hope to get to where most of you knowledgeable traders/technicians are now one of these years. I daytrade the emini S&P and Russell. Anyway, I have been searching for a way to calculate/forecast the next day intraday major turning points. I have searched this forum and web extensively with no luck. :crap: Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks, jpflores

Try looking at any of the price action / support resistance threads also the 'busy day tomorrow thread' in the Forex section. Also take a look at DBpheonixs blog he did a couple of weeks marking up S/R for the NQ.

 

You maybe be better thinking of places where you 'anticipate price might find S/R' rather than 'forecasting turning points'. Thats not to say that you can not find success predicting but it is a tougher path to go down, not least for the psychological pressure of dealing with being 'wrong' a lot of the time.

 

Have you thought of anticipating S/R then monitoring price action to ask yourself is that holding now (in the present)? It is possible to do very well without needing to predict.

You just need the current and future day's turning points?

 

Is that all?

 

Oh, come on Brownsfan, don't be unfair.

 

I'd like this week's and next weeks please.

What are you guys talking about? This is really easy to do. All you need to do is get a Delorean, Flux-Capacitor, MR. Fusion and you are good to go. I actually saw a documentary, I think it was a 3 part series, and this guy, Dr. Brown along with his teenage sidekick accomplished this feat. Not sure if they have a trading website, but you can check it out. I know I have!

 

Here they are in action:

side track: ah, i saw that documentary too. I think the documentary show that a locomotive would do just fine if Deloreans were out of stock. ;P

 

on track: perhaps you could try looking at the various methods of Pivot levels

Thanks guys!! LOL!! I guess I deserve that (with crystal ball in hand). I do use fibs and other calcs but wanted to see if anyone had other thoughts.

 

I'll check into that Blowfish.

 

BTW Brownsfan, I am a big Brownies fan also!

 

I'll keep reading!! :hmmmm:

i have a rule where i don't trade between 11 and 1,cst,i have a note taped to my monitor that say's "what time is it *******" to remind when i get faked out during this time period,there are about 3 days a month where it will trend in one direction all day,that is the exception to the rule on the time of day posted. I also watch for 1:30 when the oil closes and 1:50 it usually starts to make a move for the last hours trading. There is a soft rule among some of the larger houses that they don't trade the first hour,so at 9:30 the market will generally see an influx of orders

This is how i do it. Look at aug 20 chart (sp500 cash ). The intraday low (1261) arrives around 10am which is 3 hours from prev days low. 3 is a fib number and 1261 is near term support (elliott wave). Next, the intraday high (1276) arrives one hour later and thats also 8 hours from prev day high. 1 & 8 are fib numbers.1276 is almost 10 points from prev close, (rule of 10,well,my version) Next, from 1276 to 1264 around 2.20pm is 3 hours.3 is a fib number.Next, 1264 long (rule of 10) gives 1274 target which was hit-intraday close 1274.5.

I dont scalp.i go for the swings but if i did, i would experiment with counting bars 1 2 3 5 8 13 21.. etc on smaller time frames.

Anyway, there you go, happy hunting!

 

And this post proves that there are many ways to trade.

another clue was 46 spu points down on 2 days and a consolidation day in the mid week,the uvol /dvol was changing places all day as to which one was dominating,first clue as that down trend had stopped,2nd was it wouldnt be a continuation or reversal with indecision about uvol/dvol,that sets up for an inside day which usuall sets its hi/lo in 1st 90 minutes,then you sel hi's and buy low's with a stop above or below hi/lo of day,these inside days if you can spot them are free money,you close your positions at the nip on the mrkt profile

I know this is not a literacy site and I am sure your posts are very insighful, but without capitalization and punctuation, they are barely legible and hard to read for me. Would you mind to try and form regular sentences in your posts? Without that, I am afraid that much of your wisdom is getting lost between the lines...

It's better than someone using ALL CAPS AND SHOUTING AT YOU. Ammo's style actually forces me to fully read and attempt to comprehend his thought process, so I don't mind. Not to mention the salacious factor of his terminology (boob, nips, cleavage) :o

Do you have market profile or volume profile? Usually areas of high volume or long amounts of time spent in a area will offer support or resistance when visiting them again for the first time. Very often the major reversal points for the day happen at these areas.

yesterday at noon cst,we had a bottom half of a boob and u knew we would have to draw in the top by the end of the day. The spu's were trading 1270,71 at the time. We also had a trendline on a weekly coming in at 1281. So u knew where to unload or reverse. Intraday turning points to me don't appear that often,not in an obvious way at least

Hey Ammo, to get an idea about the accuracy of turning or "pivot" points, check out the video available at http://www.techniquetradingsolutions.com

click on "market update for August 28th". The SUN and POT trade setups allowed daytraders to get a 4 dollar move due to the accuracy of the turning points. They offer classes in order to teach you how to calculate these turning points.

    • 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.
