Ivo,

 

Been lurking here for years and trying to make this system work. Your points on volume are well taken, although I think for trading es, volume is critical for identifying the termination of moves. One problem which continues to plag me is the interpretation of volume as market moves say with data at 8:30 compared to overnight, and then again at the open of trading. Can't rely on it because everything is more or less reset. So I tend to stand aside. But it is frustrating, because I might have a real good grasp of what market is doing in the overnight, but seem to lose my bearings with these changes in pace related to the above mentioned times.

 

Any suggestions for dealing with this appreciated.

Another video. Just to illustrate how important it is to have the channels correct. If you don't have the channels correct you simply miss things because you don't look for them.

Ivo

 

 

Is this real money trading?

I want to add that I use candlesticks instead of OHLC bars. So I place a lot more emphasis on the open and the close. (are we closing within the previous bar?). One tick can make a difference. Also I annotate 15 min bars. I only trade when those two line up (5 min and 15 min).

 

Maybe those two "tools" make up for not having volume in forex.

 

regards,

Ivo

 

 

I am wondering, from the subject matter of this thread, regarding Volume Precedes Price always, I am wondering if you have noticed this pattern of B2B 2R 2B etc... with dominant and non-dominant waves and if this has affected your trading strategy in any way.

EURUSD Trades of today. In the next hour or so I believe price is not going anywhere. We have price centering, tails on both sides and bars are getting shorter and shorter. These things together say "be careful: chop"!!

Ivo

Hi Spydertrader;

 

I'm confused on how to follow threads. How do I best follow the sequence of your original post July, 5 2009?

 

I'd like to study and test your complete method before pepperingyou with questions.

If the video that you're referring to is in my torrent, this should still work:

You should be able to get just the ones that you want.

 

Thank you very much!

I have all of these...just did not recall that Str-Sq was discussed in them.:)

 

I was referring to some that are just about Str-Squ, by Spyder I think...but this should do .

no. see attached. p2 and p3 geen channel inside red channel

That Increasing Volume IBGS annotated by you as point 2 has no indication to hold through it. As it forms, YM turns increasing red PRV and finishes with increasing red. As your guru used to write: "Who wants to be long in the face of increasing red volume". That's where you and your guru would have been shaken off, if you or he actually traded instead of posting misleading charts. Can't believe that years gone by and some folks are still trying to decipher that nonsense.

still dead as a doornail.

 

Ok I'll make a revival attempt.

 

Who amongst the older hands here ever fully differentiated the Laterals? Seems like many people here participated in the Lat Drill and follow up. I went through the thread, starting page 141, and at page 196- two months later- it did not seem anybody had really gone to the bottom of it... am still reading. My motivation to start was the comment bySpyder that if you reached full differentiation, you would always know which direction a lat would exit to...obviously, a worthwhile goal. He insists that this is binary, exact....

 

Spyder divided the process into 3 parts: 1. Context, 2. Order of things, 3. The Thing itself (the Lat). He suggested to start differentiating "the thing itself" (the lateral), in the specific case of the Lat drill, he started with Sym lats. Now: I don't know if he did so in order to teach people the process of differentiation or if he did so because the Thing is actually important in itself... let me explain:

I started categorizing them (the Thing). Please see attached as an example, just 1 page (out of 8 or 9)...I ended up with at least 40 cases, probably more like 60.... there are Sym lats, Fbp and FTP Lat Formations, as well as Lat Movements, whose first bar can be Dom or Nondom, with increasing or decreasing volume, OB's or Ibgs's, with boundary bars on the dom, the nondom side or both, and these boundary bars can have increasing or decreasing volume etc....you get the idea.

 

My big conundrum is: How do I know which of the factors overwhelms which? If Context and The Order of Things is more important than the Thing, why did Spyder insist on differentiating the Thing first? And how do I know- when reviewing old charts- which of the factors caused Change or Continuation? Was it the Thing or the Context?

 

For Example, if you have a lat occurring at a fast Pt 2-3 (Order of things), I have observed it to resolve in the Dom direction in most cases, no matter if the boundary bars are on top or on bottom, if it is a sym lat or not, if the volume of the boundary bar is increasing or not...even a Lat Movement will do.

So- what is the point in differentiating "the thing", if it is all Context- or "Order of Things" dependent?

 

If anybody actually fully understands this, I would greatly appreciate any guidance! Perhaps you want to contact me by PM in order not to clog up the thread...we can chat on skype... or post here, I will publish the results of my research here when done...

 

TIA,

 

Vienna

    • 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.
