Wyckoff Applied to Forex

Recommended Posts

In this thread I’d like to discuss how Wyckoff ideas can be applied to Forex. As this should not become another VSA thread it should focus on how to judge the market by its price action alone.

 

For your convenience the most important Wyckoff terms can be found here.

My first try can be found here in post #55.

 

I’ll also be annotating EUR/USD charts from the start of this year for study purposes. I’d be glad to see people join in the practicing and hope some of the Wyckoff pros throw in their wisdom and corrections as well. :)

 

For the hindsight analysis I will always be posting:

- a pdf file with two annotated charts:

(1) daily chart at the beginning of the week

(2) 15 minute chart of the weeks action

- an Excel file containing:

(i) a ‘raw’ version of the daily and 15 min charts for your annotation convenience

(ii) my annotated versions of the daily and 15 min charts

(iii) the data for the graphs

 

So here we go with the first week of 08.

As I told Flojo when he asked me about this prior to posting, a number of people have expressed interest in this, but few have followed through (and none in this Forum). I don't see the lack of volume (and please, let's not get into the tick volume nonsense again; those who just can't help themselves can peruse this) as an impenetrable barrier. After all, Wyckoff didn't use volume in intraday trading except in the most general way; he used P&F.

 

So if interested individuals want to find some way of making it work, that's perfectly okay by me. All I ask is that VSA be left out of it.

Here are my annotations from the second week of january (13th to 18th). This time I've also included the data of the previous week + a chart showing the most important ranges (DBs cajas famosas). These are then shown on the weekly chart as grey boxes next to price on the y-axis.

 

Feel free to comment and/or make your own analysis with the data.

 

Cheers,

Flojo

@Firewalker: Which Wyckoff ideas do you incorporate in your trading?

 

Hi flojo, I'd say I try to use some ideas to the best of my ability:

- shorting a secondary high at resistance on lower volume

- buying the test after a selling climax

- taking a trade when price moves from a state of equilibrium (consolidation, congestion) to a state of strong directional moves

 

There's are just a few... I mean the ideas or the approach is not a fixed set of trading rules or tactics, so my 'interpretation' or my practical work-out might be different than others who use similar guidelines.

 

Btw: nice charts you have there!

Thanks for the pics. Can I ask about a few of your acronyms on the notes?

 

1) wrb (does this mean wide range bar or wide range body?)

2) LWL

I'm back from my short trip, down to business again and just completed my annotations for last week.

 

So far there was not much discussion about the annotations, how you see them, what you actually read when looking over the chart, the box placement, etc....any suggestions for making this thread a bit more lively?

 

Are my posts with charts like this actually of any interest to you, or am I just occupying server space?!?

 

Good trading,

Flojo

Yay! The views to this thread cracked the 1000 mark! What do you pay attention to in these posts? :hmmmm:

 

To all the work you put in :)

Great job... perhaps this thread goes unnoticed by the majority of FX traders because it resides in the Wyckoff Forum?

Certainly looks like that, indeed he is making an effort, we don't trade that market.

Preparatory work for this week, including:

 

1) Daily chart

2) Last week with boxes

3) Macro view with boxes

 

What's your preparatory work?

 

Edited:

Forgot to mention...how to read a box chart can be found in this thread

 

Attached is the box version how DB sees it. (Originally posted by him here in post #99)

    • 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.
