Point & Figure Webinar with Jeremy Du Plessis

Recommended Posts

Jeremy du Plessis, author of The Definitive Guide to Point & Figure, reently took part in a live webinar on FXStreet.com's The Traders Bookshelf:

 

http://www.fxstreet.com/webinars/sessions/session.aspx?id=9e70e1f7-a8ba-4b9c-bae6-c914e94e9257

 

The webinar opened with a short introduction to Jeremy's book which was described by the shows host, Gonçalo Moreira, as a masterpiece. The book has been added to FXStreet.com’s selection of ‘books that provide the best value for currency traders’. The webinar then went into a 45 minute live Point & Figure charting session on the currency market using Updata's technical analysis software.

 

This webinar will be beneficial to traders who are interested in Point & Figure and using P & F charting methods for their FX trading. The methods can be applied to other markets ofcourse. Really good webinar all in all.

here's something i use from Jeremy's 'Definite Guide'.

 

PnF can be used effectively for medium AND short term trading. (assumes reader is already familiar with PnF charts)

 

Example:

chart is daily 1x1 (h/l) for COST. (note:reversal AND box size are both 1)

 

shows Reward / Risk analysis.

Red TLs show bullish and bearish support.

entry occurs 01/31/12 when price moves above Bullish Support TL

note: you could also use more conservative entry and wait for PnF pattern 'catapult'.

Target Price = 93

entry = 82

stop exit = 80 (price drops below TL AND PnF pattern is Fulcrum Reversal.)

note you could reduce risk even further with exit at TL break (81).

 

Risk = 2 (entry - exit) 82-80 = 2

Reward = 11 (Target - Entry) 93-82 = 11

R/R = 5.5

note you could reduce risk even further with exit at TL break(81).

 

 

 

R/R of 11..you only have to be right 2 out of 11 entries to be profitable.

 

good trading,

peter

      Hi GUYS, Happy Wednesday!
      I'd like to share daily forex analysis from Followme, hope this information helps your trading.
      Today, Let's focus on AUD and NZD.
      AUDUSD is trading at 0.6761; the instrument is moving below Ichimoku Cloud, thus indicating a descending tendency. The markets could indicate that the price may test the cloud’s downside border at 0.6765 and then resume moving downwards to reach 0.6635. Another signal to confirm further descending movement is the price’s rebounding from the descending channel’s upside border. However, the scenario that implies further decline may be canceled if the price breaks the cloud’s upside border and fixes above 0.6825. In this case, the pair may continue growing towards 0.6905.

      So I've been 18 for about 4 months, since I turned 18 I started up an account, and basically thought I was doing amazing because of beginners luck, put in some of my savings and managed to do well, some days I would make £200, one day I even made £900, after time I lost my profits and made a loss as well. I've realised I need to spend the time analysing the market and making technical judgments. I'm trying to read more and spend a lot of my time looking at the charts. is there any advice people can give me. and is making 5% a week a realistic goal to set myself? before anyone assumes that im looking for a get rich quick scheme, im certainly not, I see every loss ive made as a lesson and ensure that I learn from each mistake I make. 
      any advice about indicators, strategies, how to analyse the market, or even analysing earning reports would help me.

      Firebird is an indicator to identify the price spikes in the market. Firebird indicator first calculates a 10-period moving average, then shifts this moving average a certain percentage above and below the 10-period moving average. The shifted averages are drawn on chart as the red and green line. When price touches these lines, price spike is identified. Usually after a price spike, the trend reverses for some time. The indicator can be used to take advantage of this price behaviors. In daily chart usually the 10 period MA is shifted by 2 percent to form the price bands. On lower time frames like Hourly, Four Hour a smaller percentage price shift is used like 0.5% . The important consideration here is most of the price bars must be contained within the upper and lower bands.
      When price reaches above the upper red band, a sell position is opened. When price reaches the lower green band, buy position is opened. Trades can be managed with proper stop loss and take profit. In the picture, Firebird indicator is attached to daily chart of EUR/USD with 2% shift on MA. Note that almost all price bars are within the price bands. And when price extends beyond these bands, price trend reverses and comes back into the bands.

    • Date: 6th December 2024. How Will NFP Impact The Trading Markets? The Euro increased in value against most currencies on Thursday, but investors remained cautious over the ECB President’s comments. According to economists, the ECB is almost certain to cut interest rates next week. President Lagarde advises the Eurozone is likely to witness lower economic growth than previously expected. Analysts changed expectations for the US Unemployment Rate to rise to 4.2%. Most experts now expect the US rate of unemployment to remain unchanged. Poor US employment data can increase the potential for a December rate cut and further fuel the bullish trend in the stock market. EURUSD – Will The Fed Cut Interest Rates? The EURUSD rose in value on Thursday ignoring resistance levels but now moves closer to a stronger resistance point. This key level can be seen at 1.05969, but in order for the EURUSD to find bearish momentum at this level investors will be hoping for poor employment data. Economists expect the NFP Employment Change to read 215,000 and for the Unemployment Rate to remain at 4.1%. Analysts also continue to expect the growth in salaries to continue. If these three releases indicate a resilient and strong employment sector, the chances of a Federal Reserve rate cut fade. However, if the data is poorer, the US Dollar can potentially decline as a rate cut this month becomes more certain. Regarding the Euro, market participants are turning their attention to macroeconomic data from the Eurozone. Retail sales declined by 0.5% MoM, slightly worse than the expected ˗0.4%. Additionally, Germany’s industrial orders for October decreased by 1.5%, following a 4.2% rise in the previous month. This indicates weak domestic demand in both the German and broader European economies, potentially prompting the European Central Bank (ECB) to consider further interest rate cuts. A recent Reuters poll of leading economists suggests the ECB may lower borrowing costs by ˗25 basis points next week and by at least ˗100 basis points over the next year. Supporting this outlook, ECB President Christine Lagarde stated yesterday that economic growth in the Eurozone could be weaker than expected in the coming months, with risks of further deterioration likely to dominate in the medium term. The US Dollar Index is the best performing currency index so far today, but is not seeing significant gains. The Euro Index remains unchanged. The worst performing currency of the day is the Australian Dollar and the Japanese Yen. NASDAQ – How Will NFP Affect The NASDAQ? The NASDAQ retraced after gaining in value for 5 consecutive days and rising to an all-time high. So far in 2024, the NASDAQ has almost risen 30% but the short to medium term price action will depend on the upcoming employment data and next week’s consumer and producer inflation. Employment data for last week was released yesterday, showing that initial jobless claims rose by 224,000, surpassing both the forecast of 215,000 and the previous figure of 215,000. However, the total number of individuals receiving state assistance decreased from 1.896 million to 1.871 million, defying expectations of an increase to 1.910 million. Commenting on the situation, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell noted that the US economy is performing better than anticipated, with declining risks of labor market deterioration. In this context, Powell suggested that the Federal Reserve could adopt a more cautious stance on monetary policy, aiming to achieve a neutral position for interest rates.
