for thursday ... buy day

 

don't see much of a chance. because SS day did not put a low in to be tested

 

buy day taylor rules calls for a long below SS day low on a low made first .... however it is risky with the gap below ... which could fill

taylor says long below yesterday low .... as per this chart

 

 

however i would like a down day first ... or a low to be put in

.... that's a lot to ask for during a strong up trend

on SS day .... no low was put in

so buy day tuesday...... the move will either be stolen to the upside

or a low below monday low .... is a strict taylor entry

 

without a low already put in .... it creates a trap for longs in case one of these gaps fills

 

in summary.... you are either already long, or you have to take a strict Taylor entry on a low made first

 

and a low made first is unlikely given the bull trend

on friday ... buy day

Taylor would say long below prev day low

however i say prev day was not down .... so either wait for a down day ...

or

take a long below low of wednesday ... that is 2 lows back

-----------------------------------

 

if prev day was down.... could do a long below prev day low... as per my own rules

 

if the swing was down trending .... then the long would be ten points below the prev day low

the more posters ..... the better

nobody is right and nobody is wrong

every body has their own techniques and style

 

i am not trading strict taylor rules as i have explained previously

and i am not using a book for my estimations.... but 10 points instead

10 or 20 points... either or.... not a range

the tricky part of taylor method is .....

today is friday

 

you have a long below wednesday low....

however it is 12 noon and price is still sitting around below that low

 

in other words.... taylor method TAKES SOME FAITH !!!

 

a low made first can be a gap down open .... so basically a long from the opening price according to taylor

 

target is previous highs....

if it comes same day then take profit

if it doesn't.... then it depends on where it closes .... near the day's high or low

if the previous day is up ..... SS day

 

the reason why i want a down day first before a buy point is because it means .... MORE PEOPLE ARE WRONG

 

if more people are wrong, then it increases your chances to go against the herd

for people who are just getting into taylor.....

download his book for free

 

there are a couple of pages at the end where he is doing a journal of trades taken

 

forget about the book itself..... just read these few pages .... a few hundred times.... then compare to a couple of weeks in your chosen market

 

and try to make similar notes of your own ... for your chosen market

 

i think this is a better way to understand what he is doing than trying to make a lot of sense out of his writing

i am always bullish on tuesday and thursday .....

in this case ... tuesday will be a SS day ....

short scalp on a high made first of at least 10 points

.... or a long on a low made first of at least 10 points

 

below ... the low of sell day monday .... is unlikely .... because of up trend

 

probably will gap up as usual .... and possibly a pull back for a long entry ... if lucky

if the gap is large enough .... probably very little if any pullback

 

friday buy day was the swing entry ... to hold

but how many retail traders are willing to take that entry and hold over the weekend ?

monday .... sell day .....

close out longs and get long again if desired.

Just curious about your cycle days, you have monday as a sell day, I have monday as a short sell day, so I went short today above last Fridays high of 1348. How long ago did you begin your cycle count and are you market specific

    • Agreed since some of the new traders usually lose money in start and some loses more while chasing their lost money and eventually ends up blaming to their brokers part.
    • The crypto market are also in phase of maturing like the forex and other trading assets so we can do much more accurate analysis than before since early days it was purely a luck if the investments in crypto bears results because most of the coins or tokens never come to fruition. Some early birds were also able to make profits on these tokens or coins. e,g., like turtle coin starts with 1 satoshi and go up to 7 sathoshis, quite good rewards. another token lmgx now hovering at 10 started from 1, 
    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • 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.
