OK, thanks . Relooking at the 2b again, bar 11-12 was a stitch long creating a possible b2b with the increase in black volume. If that was the case, then bar 13 should be point 2 to 3 with decreasing red. Instead bar 13 had increasing red indicating that a change in dominance had occurred and the sequence is not completed yet.

 

The 2B from bar 21 is full sequence non-dominant move from bar 21 to 27 with a decreasing volume to create Point 3. Bar 28 confirms WMCN with Point 3 move.

 

Am I close ?

 

The 10-12 sequence is on a smaller or finer level, you won't see all the movement on a 5min ES bar. But I'd bet the YM or a finer ES level would show the sequence ending on bar 12 or 13. So however you view it, there is a 2b for some fractal, but it's below the level you were looking for.

 

21 - 27 however has the full visible non dom volume sequence.

 

So yeah, looks like you got it. :)

Not familiar with the finer ES tool, looking at the YM, yes, it is there. Thank you !

I have a question - in order to stay in the same fractals, is there a way or particular thing to keep in mind at all times e.g.

sure, keep your eye on gaus seqs as long as you can draw a complete seq or you know that you are going to have a complete seq then you know you stay on the same fractal.

My view of the day, corrected after RTH in pink and grey to see the turns and forks better. Still many errors and I will need to do a detailed differentiation on the turns and forks.

 

I have a question - in order to stay in the same fractals, is there a way or particular thing to keep in mind at all times e.g.

 

1. I originally annotated that the 2R retracement (bar 21 to 32) ended on bar 32 but reviewed later to see that it should end at bar 26

2. bar 61 to 65 revealed a faster fractal gaussians, at that point in time, my mind was telling me my B2B from bar 56 to 60 MIGHT be a 2B retracement being completed , and the final 2R move is on the way with a BO r2r bar 65. The only signal I see was volume was low. So in order not to jump a fractal and maintain the outlook that bars 61 to 65 is but a faster fractal, what must one do when monitoring the volume and gaussian pane ?

 

TQIA

 

Many times the market will move from pt 2 to pt 3 of a container using a lateral.The market created a boundary on bar 63 creating a sym lateral that started on bar 60.Also volume (pace) levels decreased in the sym lateral showing non-dominance.Once the market creates a lateral a trader anticipates pt 3 and dominance(ibv) returning to complete the sequence.hth

Besides what others recommended, other things that seem to help me:

  • write 1, 2, 3 on your chart's price pane, wherever you determine them to be, for the three fractals you're monitoring (trading fractal being the middle one); don't rely only on drawn lines
  • be aware at all times what's the current pace level, and what period of the day you are in; during extreme pace a complete volume sequence may indicate one fractal, during moderate pace a sub-fractal, and during low pace a sub-sub-fractal, so to speak; consequently, time wise, a complete sequence on a given fractal takes more bars during lower pace.

Gucci,

 

Friday 21st Jan had a move similar to your fractal drill last Nov. It is not exactly the same but had the elements of an R2R being ended at bar 29 instead of bars 12, 18 or 22 although at first look, each of them had the elements of ending the R2R i.e. return to dominance with increasing red bar after a black decreasing volume retracement.

 

All 3 had a common factor that the decreasing black volume retracements had no visible proper 1-2-3 move on 5m chart.

 

In your drill, if I understood correctly, the R2R was created via faster fractal move hence the next dominant 2R move would anticipate a similar faster fractal which explained the point 3 later at 10:55 in that chart snippet. On last Friday's chart, an R2R was created and broke the black rtl and a point 2 formed on bar 12 outside the rtl.

 

On Friday's chart, using a faster fractal move, what is the process of differentiation to allow me to correctly annotate each 2R move such that I will arrive at the final R2R bar 29 ? Using the same logic, I would have my first R2R ending at bar 18, then with another 1-2-3 move to end the next dominant move at bar 29 but the market has proven otherwise to end at 40.

 

TQ

As nobody has replied to my latest post, I presume that none here actually uses this method in their own trading and all that happens here is an academic debate over which patterns have been identified by Mr. X and how Mr. Y subsequently accuses Mr. X of pattern blindness.. am I correct?:-)

Hi All,

 

I just subscribed to this thread which, at a first glance at least, looks to me that deals with, sort of, 'measurable' objectives and it must be a real fun and challenge to study. Before I'll make it thoroughly through the 261 pages I want to ask - has any of you guys here made it to actually using this method of market analysis as your primary trading tool and with what success? And what about spydertrader - what level of success does it bring to you?

 

May the pips be with you and happy and prosperous 2011!:applaud:

 

I believe the lack of an answer would tend to indicate "no"-- pretty charts, no money. At least it seems that way....

Exactly my point. Still, seeing your statements is just one part of the answer; are the results depicted in the statements in any way realted to the methods discussed in this thread? If so, when did you start using it? PM is okay again.:-)

I will give my 2c here, as I disagree with the premise of this thread based on years of actual, data driven testing.

 

I have found there is no correlative relationship between volume and price movement. This is after exhaustive testing using many very complex and simple rules for volume, including multiple timeframe analysis and other.

 

There is some minor confirming relationship if there is a very key area (technical) that is broken. On volume it tends to continue into the future, without, not. However, its only like a 65% vs 35% thing, not black and white.

 

For an average move of .5%, 1%, 2%, 3% etc, over ANY length of time, the volume before this move has almost no correlation or predictive value that a move is going to happen. The volume during this move has close to no predictive power over whether this move will continue and how much it might continue.

 

I am sure there are many of you that will show me examples of where this works. And this would be true. I tested the entire subset of US stocks (about 3500 names) over 7 years of data, using many simple and advanced techniques.

 

Over short runs of time, it will lead and or predict, and then just abruptly stop. Over long runs of time, under the same "technical" formation, it provides no use whatsoever.

 

It is easy in hindsight to pick out the areas where it did work, but the brain ignores all the "similar" circumstances that are almost identical, but which nothing or the opposite of what the volume shows happens.

 

Just my 2c here.

based on PMs I received it looks like some of you missed the link since it got deleted so quickly. Now for the main answer the main reason why I posted the result. The result is from 1 of my student she have known nothing else, no internet trading forum, no trading class, no trading book, no prior trading experience she was out of work and looking for something to do. What she learnt was what I told her and what I told her was taking directly from what I read online as I don't exchange PM with Jack or Spyder. Thus that is why I said in the thread it's 100% pure Jack's method.

Corey, seems to me like you do not want to give a straight answer to my straight question ... The rationale behind my requests was that - before I get too excited about a method that looks to me like being based on something more reasonable than mere statistic representations of the past, I wanted to know if anyone was using it to their own tangible profits...and got no positive confirmation as of yet.

guys, I am on Paltalk daily, go to paltalk.com download and install paltalk. Important note: after installation add *.paltalk.com to IE restricted site so that paltalk can not popup on your pc. I dont use any other software as they all cost more resource than paltalk. Then go look for 'price action trading' room. This way we can do chat and charts in real time as end of day chart is boring to me. use the same name as paltalk name so I can recognize you.

 

ps. paltalk let you create a room on the fly so if more people show up i will create a separated room just for mada people np.

Hi Martinigue,

 

I understand your point of view that you would like to get a positive confirmation before you invest time and energy into something which at the end might turn out to be useless.

 

Me myself I have seen several examples in different places were some people "proofed" that they are profitable using this method. BUT... for every one of them there is probably 50 others (including) me who are either not successful, clueless or both. So at the end what do you do? Three (or more) people making "shit loads" of money and thousand others trying this method lose their ass. What do you decide? Invest time and energy or stay away?

 

You said it yourself: "...something more reasonable...". This means one or two things already jumped in your eyes which tell your brain: "I should have a closer look." Have a closer look at those things. There is maybe more? Take what works for you and then either continue your investigation or try the next method.

 

I say all this because I suppose that you are already adult and out of school and that you don't need anybody anymore (mom, dad, teacher, boss, etc.) to tell you that something is good or not and that you should follow it or not.

 

Good luck!

Hi corey,

Thank you for Paltalk price action trading room. I hope I can figure out how to contact other 3 members on 31January2011.

already, room is open so you can check it out.

 

I include a pic on paltalk features so you know what to expect.

 

here is what on menu

 

3 stages of a setup.

tone, lock and fire

 

1) if i see seq1+seq2+seq3 and x2x2y2x then I have the right tone

 

2) next after tone if I see seq1 and x2x then the setup is locked

 

3) next after lock if I see seq2 and 2y then I have the green light to fire

 

hence tone, lock and fire.

 

that is all I will focus on, good luck to all.

Hi corey,

 

Smart idea! You make the system good for the fifth grade.

 

Could you advise on the blocking issue? Please see the attachment. TIA

As you said frenchfry, neither I need others to tell me what to follow, nor did I ask for any type of such information; I am sorry that my inquiry was too complex for you and lead you into such thinking, but I promise to be more dscriptive next time ...

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
