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

....some jack asses say that taylor's methods are out dated and that they don't work in today's market

....i say those jack asses are jack asses....

 

if it doesn't work for you .... then take the few tid bits that do work and use them

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

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
