Bill McLaren

Recommended Posts

Have just finished reviewing again Bill McLaren's dvd " Foundation for Successful Trading " .

 

When one looks at the basics of what Bill is explaining it really is a quite simple but extremely powerful and versatile method with PRICE action stripped down to it's bare roots .

 

Wondering if any other posters apply or have applied Bill's methods and what their thoughts on it are ?

 

Cheers

PNA as a classic McLaren Long setup (as I understand it)

 

1: the GAP from the previouse High to current Low is the Entry signal

2: the LAST High MUST be taken out with this swing (otherwise 2 lower highs)

3: resistance expected @ the Low before the Last High (could form a Asc Tri )

4: Volume on Sell bars has been lower than on the Buy Bars.

 

Any constructive criticism welcome .

coyote - I'm not familiar with this service, but if you want to get some discussion going, giving a reader's digest version may help. Just b/c someone has not read the book or watched the DVD does not mean they cannot discuss the ideas with you.

 

Just an idea.

Had a quick look at hs web site. Looks interesting and prety much 'in alignment' with my own aproach. I'd quite like to hear a bit more about it Cyotte if you have a moment.

 

Actualy there are a couple of things thave caught my interest recently its hard to be selective sometime.

McLaren's DVD is mainly about trading the counter trends within the predominate trend.

 

You can keep it simple with the trend patterns or more advanced with the amount of days within the counter trends .

 

A classic simple example is the PNA chart

 

1: if the last HIGH is not taken out with any up swing -- then that swing will be the 2nd lower high -- a 3rd lower high would signal a SHORT trade is probably forming.

 

 

2: the "Low before the High forming the resistance guideline " I find can be useful for identifying a Ascending Triangle early .

 

3: the recent Low forming a gap with the mentioned high is very bullish

 

 

Bill goes on about the 3 higher low swings after a major decline often leading to a recovery .

 

He covers EW / Gann but not in the conventional manner.

 

 

 

Cheers

will try and up load chart.(posted on another forum over the weekend)

it is from last Friday 29/6 and since then the Triangle has continued to form .

The Gap between the low & high under McLaren is quite Bullish -- but the bit about McLaren I question is about 3 lower highs being very bearish as in EW theory this can this not simply be a 5 wave correction ?

Dunno - I thought ABCD corrections where the 'norm' with B & D being the two lows. Actually I found Elliot's stuff fundamentally flawed having said that if you re-write the whole lot with 'move correction move' as the smallest building block (123) it makes much more sense. A standard elliot 12345 then becomes two 123's in the same direction one after the other. Doing this makes everything far more 'fractal' and symetric in nature.

 

The Mclaren stuff still looks intresting but I am a sucker for price action and market strucure type aproaches. Cant help feeling its all been covered by Gann & Dunnigan et. al. Of course this dosen't diminish the value and should be taken as praise rather than critiscm.

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
