L.o.l.r?

 

Looks like a correction is due on the daily, but there is still plenty of room to go in the weekly.

 

Here is a question, if it goes into overbought territory on the daily and finds R around the previous top, can one trace a new LOLR as soon as a LH is defined or is it necesary that the DL of the TC gets broken ?

They're both weeklies, the first the NQ and the second the ES. Looking only at the NQ and how this is the first time price has closed above the midpoint of the channel in quite some time, I'd've said there's a chance of moving all the way to the top of the channel. However, since the ES is now at the top of its channel, they may both reverse and make the return trips to the DLs. And a lot of people have been looking for a correction anyway.

 

It may be an interesting day.

:doh: did not read the labels, and assumed they were the same thing in two different intervals.

 

But in general, after reaching the top of the channel and even after getting into overbought territories there is that gray area I still don't have very clear and it is where the new trends are born. If there is a LH but price is at or above the channel, I am still in an Uptrend, but that could be the beginning of a new profitable downtrend. Guess as everything else, it comes down to research, will add that into my to do list and find out.

Overbought and oversold conditions are always tricky because on the one hand you've got mean reversion to consider and on the other you have potential trend change. However, given the extent and duration of the trend in the ES, mean reversion may be the more likely outcome. And of course there's no need to rush into any trades. One can simply wait a few days to see how things go.

 

And, no, Wyckoff doesn't say anything about mean reversion, but that's what balancing and a return to the middle and equilibrium are all about. There's nothing mysterious about it; it's just a standoff between buyers and sellers. This accounts for the uncanny parallelism in these trend channels. And the general misconception that TC lines provide "support and resistance".

I don't suppose it should come as a big surprise that this morning would be so boring after yesterday. But considering where we ended up, I expected more. And I was ready to quit at 1100. Then buyers finally got it together. Then price ricocheted off R. Now I'm stuck here until we turn trendless.

 

*sigh*

As I said above, I would not have expected this morning to be quite so boring. But trading began to come alive with the exit from the hinge (below).

 

For the daily context, see yesterday's chart post. For the premkt, see chart 1.

 

Chart 2 shows the opening gambits without the hinge so that the entries and exits can be more clearly seen. Since there were no RETs to speak of, I elected to enter off S/R reversals, as long as there was S/R to use. The hinge then formed, which is an overlay on Chart 3, which is otherwise identical to Chart 2.

 

The last, of course, is the entire session, at least until I quit due to the volume dryup and the sideways trendlessness.

 

Gee, it would be so much easier if S&R "worked". :cool:

Just out of curiosity, has anybody calculated a ballpark win rate and profit percentage (assuming one contract) for the charts I've been posting the last couple of weeks?

 

If anybody wants to play with it, remember that entries are stop limit and exits are market.

I probably haven't seen all the charts, and occasionally an exit is not clear, but ball park 80%+

1. Break of the DL (not drawn) and FTB.

 

2. Rejection of R

 

3. Congestion

 

1- So you take this setup regardless of where it takes place, not necessarily at S/R?

 

2- How do you define Rejection?

And today,

 

Aren't 1 and 2 your usual procedure?

 

 

Activity slowed down dramatically at that point, and price drifted sideways for 15 minutes. This was not an energetic bounce off S of any kind other than 50% of the previous day's rally, which is always soft.

 

And it was after 1100. I was bored.

1. Does it matter?

 

2. Hits R and reverses.

 

1- I would say so, given the emphasis throughout the forum on trading only at Support and Resistance.

 

2- This seems so subjective, I cant see why sometimes you enter on the first drop at Resistance but others you wait for a LH. Then again, I haven't been looking at this for years...

You just answered your own question. I've defined all this for myself. It's up to each trader to define it for himself. That's what makes it subjective. And why decisions made in real time aren't always as pretty as they are in the brochure. And why one must backtest all this, then forwardtest it in real time or via replay.

      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

    • 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.
