I suggest 30 and 27 are too trivial for a move this strong. But nothing's lost by watching them. When price stops, there's a reason.

Yes, these are just in case. They are quite insignificant, like an embryo at the onset.

Oh! I see what you mean. More to think about.

 

Thanks.

Look at the entry off the DT at 70. That's what the PA is supposed to look like. If it doesn't look like that, then get out of it, at least until you have thoroughly dealt with your fear issues.

And how is it helping you in RT? The R is being provided by TRs, not TLs, particularly since the latter are being drawn in hindsight.

not sure about TR (assuming it's trend resistance)

i once read a post describing the jargon used in one of the threads but could not find it now.

 

i draw trend lines to try and predict "where" R or S will appear, R in a down trend and S in an uptrend.

 

eventually the PA in those areas (next to to TL) is what matters.

 

i extend the TL further more on my charts (to get the trajectory ), on tick charts i find it pretty accurate in the NQ, especially in trending days.

TR refers to Trading Range (see the Glossary). And, as I've said, diagonal lines, whether they're trendlines or demand/supply lines, don't provide S or R. If you want to know where S or R will appear, look at the TRs. You may think that the TLs are providing S and R, but you're throwing virgins into the volcano.

 

TLs and DLs and SLs have jobs to do and they do them well. But they don't provide S or R, only the appearance of it.

Thank you

 

Please feel free to move this to the TBP if it's more appropriate.

I'm trying to change the way i look at price action.

i noted on the chart today's price action. is it better / more correct to look at price action this way?

It's more appropriate to the Wyckoff approach. But what is better is whatever makes you the most money. And that may be a strategy based on TLs.

 

Never forget, however, to distinguish between what's in the market and what's in your mind. Price action is in the market. You have no control over it. It will range or not. It will double-top or not. All you can do is watch.

 

Whatever you draw on your chart, however, is in your head. The market doesn't know about it and couldn't care less. All it cares about is what it's done itself: where it's been and how it got there. It will reach a price that it just reached a few minutes ago and buyers will not be able to push it past that price, regardless of what you think about it. You may draw a line across that price level to give you a point of departure, but the market doesn't know and doesn't care.

 

What matters is not that price can't get past your line but that buyers can't push price past the previous high. It's not the line that matters. Some other trader might draw some other line. But whatever line this or that trader might draw, it's traders' behavior that moves price. If traders can't advance price, then you have a potential short, regardless of what you have or haven't drawn on your chart.

I have 30, 27 and 22 as the next possible levels. The pace has increased for price, chance for some kind of capitulation? I don't have volume anymore so will have to see price behaviour only.

 

Gringo

 

Looks like you were right about 30. Way to go.

The Grinkoff Indicator, which involves a synthesis of overbought/oversold, price/volume and momentum has started to produce respectable results. It was the indicator that alerted me to the support at 30.

 

I'll be testing it more rigorously in the coming weeks but am in a hurry today to catch an express train to my vacation spot from platform 9 3/4.

Levels:

 

2720

2700

 

There's also this 2727-2737.5 TR which I believe just might prove interesting for today.

There is enough room in the 2727 -2737.5 TR to be playable.

what the problems are and (b) propose remedies for these problems

 

Reversal Setup Summary:


  • A double bottom/top on the 1m chart.


  • A HL/LH on the 1m chart.


  • I want to see buyers/sellers coming in aggressively and rejecting price at least 4 ticks


  • This can take place in a 3 tick range from the level I plotted, so If i S at 40, I will take the reversal between 43 and 37

 

Problem 1:

You are trading against the trend when catching reversals but that isn't the problem. If you waited for the new trend to be confirmed then you are not trading the reversal. A 4 tick rejection is not always enough and means that you enter on a smaller scale HL/LH or double bottom/double top that is on a smaller scale than the wave you are trying to catch.

 

For example this is the FGBL line chart for 13/8/12:

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=31936&stc=1&d=1349891012

 

Solution:

Only trade HL/LH double bottom/top that are proportional to the wave you are trying to catch. Maybe a rule about how far up the down swing the rejection gets? Perhaps also something about how long it takes to retest?

here is my analysis for today, I am going to have a good look at which levels areas play out best as I seem to have so many choices on what levels to pay attention to during the session.

This is quite a mess. Unless price makes an attempt to fill that airpocket to 67, you may want to just watch today.

2720 to 2752 seems to be the range for today.

 

There are multiple S/R along the way.

 

Yesterday's link to the chat is still functional and traders have gathered there already.

      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 ?

      Hello everyone!
      I am an advanced trader, with many years of experience (about 15 years - 10 living exclusively from this)
      I am going to give you some tips that you must know:
      There are going to be many people who tell you that trade is easy, that with only crossiing a line  with another one you will win a lot of money.... and that´s not true.  No, Sir, reality is far away from that. Many people who start arrive here with the hope that someone "gives them" a free method, they watch youtube videos thinking that this will give them the "strategy" and in a few days they realize that it does not work for them - they lose money - and then They go looking for a new one ... and so on. YES, IT´S TRUE YOU EARN IN TRADING, A LOT. BUT THINK: for a few to win (10% + any BROKER) many others must lose (90% people). YOU MUST HAVE A MONEY MANAGMENT FORMULA ( you can email me) People study so many years to live on this, not because they are dumb, but to know what they do, when, and have absolute effectiveness. It´s very easy to get lost here: do not disperse, jumping from one to another strategy WILL NEVER give you money, it will only waste your time and make you nervous when trading. PEOPLE WHO CHANGE THEIR METHOD CONSTANTLY : LOOOOSE ALWAYS.   If you have the knowledge to develop it, take your time and do it.  Always try it first on DEMO for at least 2 weeks! If not: search to buy a solid strategy (no you tube videos pleassse ! Avoid losing money! ) This is like any business, it requires some capital to start (capital = money in the broker + solid made /purchased strategy) If you are lost: I RECOMMEND YOU NOT TO WASTE TIME IN YOUTUBE, JOIN PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE AND IF YOU ARE GOING TO BUY A METHOD ... PLEASE !!!! DO NOT BUY 10 BAD AND CHEAP METHODS, SAVE MONEY AND BUY ONLY 1 BUT EXCLUSIVE AND MUST ALLWAYS HAVE SUPPORT !!!!!  Do not buy Signals! They never keep up with constant profits! One week will win and the next will lose. Nothing that does not depend absolutely on you will give you the money you are looking for. And if you do not have a strategy (made or purchased) do not even try PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE: DO NOT USE REAL MONEY! AT LEAST 2 WEEK DEMO FREE HELP HERE!!!!!  IF YOU FOLLOW MY ADVICE YOU WILL BE PART OF THAT 10% WINNER, email me.
      Have a nice trading day
