Sam Seiden-Understanding The Exact Process Behind The Movement In Price

Recommended Posts

I watched Sam Seiden's latest video on FxStreet "" Trading and Analysis". The guy was pretty much wrong in all the levels that he picked out. This shows how inaccurate his method can be. I guess it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't :rofl:

The original article of the OP does not allow logged in users to view without a premium membership. Not sure if the video is available elsewhere.

 

Here is the unfortunate problem. I've become cynical and skeptical about subscribing to trading services and products. Now I have an emotional and psychological block that I just can't overcome. It's about trust. So even though I don't doubt the value of the product, I won't subscribe to it.

 

It is good that you are a skeptic. You never fully know if what someone says comes from the heart or is another story. But if you think that a product has merit, then sign up. The worst that can happen is that the product does not meet your expectations. Then you just lost a month. You have to take some risks in this business; that is unavoidable.

Hi

 

Can someone explain what is meant by the demand/supply being high or low on the curve?

 

I understand this is also one of the odd enhancers but don't understand how it works.

 

A chart would be appreciated

 

Thanks

Hi Robinhd.

 

It means "where are you on the larger timeframe" Are you closer to a higher timeframe Supply or are you closer to Higher timeframe demand?

Good stuff Spidey:)

It's almost same stuff as odd enhancers that we got in XLT.Theory is on spot,difference is just in how spreadsheet look like.It wouldn't feel right for me to post original one which i got from OTA because of other XLT colleagues.Those that you have attached are fine to use.

But with time you can throw this out of window.Low risk-high reward trades start to poke you in the eyes.

 

Hello VTK

Will you please (if possible) elaborate little more on big picture with the help of charts(small and big time frames) Thanks for sharing views very informative and almost coming from horses mouth as you attended his XLT class

Well.let's be fair and realistic here.There is no method that works 100% of the time.But if we're being realistic we need to go much further and state that every single method being employed by the people on this forum has no intrinsic edge whatsoever..none (naturally i include myself in that category)

In trading the most effective method you can employ is to cheat and lie and steal.Unfortunately you need to have the right connections for this to be a viable long term career path.Anyone who tells you different is either deluded or lying.My theory on why so many fail at this is because they spend far too long believing that there are methods out there that have an intrinsic edge,hence the years of frustration and disappointment.

I know almost nothing about Sam's method beyond watching one video on youtube and reading the odd post here.

From what i have picked up it is the usual story.A guy who worked inside the industry has some secrets to tell us about how you might go about predicting the future.

I can't find the relative post and it wasn't from the horses' mouth,but i seem to remember something along the lines of "when the last sell orders came in.only then would price go up".Unless Sam's broker was the only one handling the entire order this leaves me a bit confused.

The other thing i picked up was something about "the more times a price level is tested,then the weaker it is"I think i've heard that theory elsewhere also. Well as the chart below shows that is just a lottery and so we need to quantify that a bit more and apply some other criterion,tick a few boxes to improve the odds,check a few different time frames.I'm sure there's a few more nuts and bolts you need to fit in order to make another guys' trading method work for you- and that right there is your biggest problem- it's someone else's method.

I'm also confused about how a market comes to a complete standstill during trading hours because of a 'price agreement'

But i have no agenda against Sam,well,no more than the next guru.And it's not my intention to disrupt the thread.

If Sam's methods gives you a few pointers to help develop your own game,that is all to the good.Don't expect too much more than that.Because for every guy that swears by Sam's method there's another bunch of guys that swear by another method and that alone should tell you something.And very few of any of these guys will be multi-millionaires- no matter how many 'students' the gurus claim to have successfully taught.

 

Hi Mitsubishi,

 

I thought i'd borrow your chart example and put some levels on there where you could have taken some nice trades.

People take the charts at face value, for that they look at the candles, for that they look at the orders that have already been filled, for that they take trades in the direction where price has already been filling orders, and what do most traders do? they put indicators on price candles that give an opposite view of what you should be looking for.

I travel alot..mexico..guatemala..belize..honduras..el salvador...etc. I take an Ipad buy a local chip i.e. a cell tel chip which i put in the Ipad and add some time. Log onto internet with Ipad ..make Ipad a hotspot..crank up my laptop(since my trading platforms are on laptop) select the Ipad as my internet connection and presto i have internet for trading. Works good enough for me especially if near the larger cities or towns.

    • there is no avoiding loses to be honest, its just how the market is. you win some and hopefully more, but u do lose some. 
    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare. And they happen only once in a blue moon. That’s exactly why it’s important to notice when the conditions start to look familiar.   Not after the move. Not once it's on CNBC.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
