0815: Price drops below 77, but the short entry off the ret is not triggered. Price moves back into the range.

We have an overnight range from 77 to 88, with a midpoint of 83. We made another attempt at 88 a few hours ago, failed and fell to the bottom of the range. In the morning we have and tried to escape the range and returned inside and we are heading for the mean again.

 

If we break below the range, I would look for the opportunity for a short, keeping an eye on the levels from yesterday. We have various swing lows, and a 50% at 67 to watch for, along with the mean of yesterday's morning channel at around 54.

 

I was kind of surprised that we didn't make it to the previous swing high of 600 after getting so close. It wouldn't take much of a push today to get us up there, and I would look for a long if price heads that direction. If it gets there I would be aware that we may get a quick reversal, or at least some consolidation around the area. If price just pushes through without stopping, then I can assume that the long is the correct direction.

 

This is as good an example of What Do I Do Next as one can expect in the early stages of learning how to trade rationally.

SLA trades for this morning:

 

:) I only followed the market until the rejection of 52, but it was pretty much the same thing as far as entries go. I think I am still closing the 1 lot too early.

 

Another thing, why not the REV at the open?

 

What REV at the open?

What REV at the open?

 

They ran out of buyers at 80 just after the open, it was inside a very tiny range so my "REV" is more like the prelude of the BO, I had 77.50 as an entry so that is why I asked.

 

BTW, what did I miss there :confused:

 

77 was a line in the sand since yesterday afternoon. I wanted to see it broken first. Three points is not that big a deal.

The chart on the left was posted yesterday evening. The chart on the right is today's session. These illustrate as well as anything the value of AMT.

 

If you didn't rake in a sizeable portion of this today, why not?

The above looks eerily similar to what's in the SLA-AMT file.

 

1) Use AMT to identify an extreme.

2) Wait for price to reach it.

2) Start using SLA when that extreme is reached.

 

Can it get simpler than this?

I was looking at those same lines and I thought to myself - it's against the rules. I need to keep reminding myself that the lines are there to show the mean and the rules sometimes need to be fudged to do that.

 

I did find something that worked. Yesterday basically doubled the range and I guess apple went crazy after the close and caused our interesting overnight session.

 

(Let's see how many days this takes to post.)

I've modified my longer-term tick chart. I basically went back to the original supply line we had drawn on 3/19 and moved the lower parallel to somewhere that makes some sense. With these current lines we see 3/21, 4/2 and today as overbought and 4/15 as oversold. Although this captures the extremes well enough I lack confidence in it defining the mean at all based on prior price action.

 

Am I just curve fitting?

Your UL is drawn incorrectly, but how is this against the rules? The point is to track demand and supply. My chart does just that. And did. Confirmed by subsequent price action.

If you move the LL, then you lose all the OS information. You're drawing these lines in hindsight. If they are going to be of any use, you have to draw them left to right, not right to left.

 

You may want to open up a journal if this is to be ongoing.

Unusual to post essentially the same chart three days in a row:

 

 

 

 

0837: While most do not like to trade pre-market for some reason, I should point out here that we came within 2pts of the UL after the Claims reports. This provided a legitimate short op. Whether it succeeds or not is of course unknowable. (Edit: short entry came 17m later)

 

0910: Rather than post another chart, I'll just point out that the mean of this channel is around 3600, which we are rapidly approaching. If we get there, that will provide a 14pt profit before the opening bell.

What is OS? The new SLA document is first class.

 

Oversold. OB=overbought.

So far is succeeding

SO, but still a good trade. You never know.

 

Now we wait for the opening reconciliation.

 

0929: A DT and a Dog. Here we go again.

 

0931: And here we are at 3600. The LL, of course, is around 3580.

      Hey guys , what are the main things you look for to detect if the consolidation area is accumulating or distributing ? 
      1 ) I see springs in top , still markup happens and it becomes accumulation area and vice versa
      2) There is lots of volume absorption in support line and still markdown occurs.
      3) sometimes in market high / low it becomes re-accumulation  / re-distribution
      Is there any clear way to find it ?

    • 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.
