if there had been a down day previous...

then they probably would not have squeezed it into the close

 

it might have been a low made first.... instead of a low made last

 

wednesday is buy day ....

.... however tuesday was not a down day

a buy point would be better preceded by a down day

... if wednesday is a down day .... buy point could come on thursday

you know.... this thread is as much yours as it is mine in that neither one of us is the OP.

apparently the OP has been lurking for a few years. ; )

 

wednesday is buy day by my count.

however ... as tuesday was not down from monday, there is no real buy point already set up.

so the true buy point if there is to be one may not come until thursday

of course ... that is not the taylor method but rather just the way i play the taylor method for my own purposes.

 

simple taylor method looks for a buy point on a low made first.... below tuesday low

 

Started rereading this thread from the beginning.Glad you've kept this going E.Hope you don't mind me joining you here again. Markup high made first ideal for a short sell day today.

If price is dropping slowly short should be held for a low made first on weds buy day..correct?

wednesday put in a low ... so thursday could be a good buy point

buy day

 

thursday sell day .... a low below wednesday on a low made first

 

however this up trend seems strong ... and it may just gap up again

 

if it does just gap up ... then strict Taylor was best in this case because it only calls for a long below tuesday low

take profit on sell day

...........................................

thursday is short sell day .......

... a short on a high made first

on buy day ... no real low put in

 

so sell day could still be a buy below buy day's low

...... though that is not taylor method

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

 

for me .... i would like to see a low put in on monday

then a test of that low

..... if there was a bounce after the low, then a test the following day

..... if there was no bounce.... and the low was put in at the close, then a test of that low during globex session

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

strict taylor method says no action until short day which is tuesday

 

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

however since the trend is strongly up .... i don't expect much of a pullback .. aka.... don't expect much of a low to be put in

.... and if there is.... don't expect much of a retest of that low

on 2nd thought ... sell day did not really put in a low.

because the low is not lower than the previous low

so... a lower low would need to be put in... then a retest of that low

... this is my method... not taylor

 

taylor calls for a long scalp on a low made first on short sell day

otherwise a long on a low made first on buy day .... wednesday

 

 

 

low put in on sell day

looking for a buy point below sell day low ... on short sell day tuesday

on a low made first .... 10 points below previous day low

I have the Taylor Trading manual since 2002 but never took the time to really study it, I discovered this site from a google search and I am happy to read from this thread that others are actively trading this mehod. I would like to know if anyone can recommend any software add on for tradestation or perhaps some has already programmed it for trade station, it would be nice to use a computerized version of the method to test and verify the results . I found a website called, Taylor Trading Technique services, would love to hear from anyone who has used the service, any comments or criticism.

 

Has anyone used this method successfully

 

thanks

coinciding with big 50%

previous high did not come same day .... so hold on

 

wednesday is buy day .... and would be the first day up from the buy point day

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

 

another nice thing about taylor methods .... no indicators are necessary

 

taylor says you don't even need a chart

probably don't

    • Date: 4th April 2025.   USDJPY Falls to 25-Week Low as Safe Havens Surge and Markets Eye NFP Data.   Safe haven currencies and the traditional alternative to the US Dollar continue to increase in value while the Dollar declines. Investors traditionally opt to invest in the Japanese Yen and Swiss Franc at times of uncertainty and when they wish to avoid the Dollar. The Japanese Yen continues to be the best-performing currency of the week and of the day. Will this continue to be the case after today’s US employment figures?   USDJPY - NFP Data And Trade Negotiations The USDJPY is currently trading at a 25-week low and is witnessing one of its strongest declines this week. The exchange rate is no longer obtaining indications from the RSI that the price is oversold. The current bullish swing is obtaining indications of divergence as the price fails to form a higher high. Therefore, short-term momentum is in favour of the US Dollar, but there are still signs the Japanese Yen can regain momentum quickly.       USDJPY 1-Hour Chart     The price movement of the exchange rate in both the short and long term will depend on 3 factors. Today’s US employment data, next week’s inflation rate and most importantly the progress of negotiations between the US and trade partners. If today’s Unemployment Rate increases above 4.1%, the reading will be the highest seen so far in 2025. Currently, the market expects the Unemployment Rate to remain at 4.1% and the Non-Farm Payroll Change to add 137,000 jobs. The average NFP reading this year so far has been 194,000.   If data does not meet expectations, US investors may continue to increase exposure away from the Dollar and to other safe-haven assets. Previously investors were expecting only 2 rate cuts this year from the Federal Reserve, however, most investors now expect up to 4. If today’s employment data deteriorates, economists advise the Federal Reserve may opt to cut interest rates sooner.   Therefore, it is important to note that today’s NFP will influence the USDJPY to a large extent. Whereas in the longer-term, trade negotiations will steal the spotlight. If trade partners are able to negotiate the US Dollar can correct back upwards. Whereas, if other countries retaliate and do not negotiate the US Dollar will remain weak.   USDJPY - The Yen and the Bank of Japan The Japanese Yen is the best-performing currency in 2025 increasing by 6.70% so far. Risk indicators such as the VIX and High-Low Indexes continue to worsen which is positive for the JPY as a safe haven currency.   Yesterday Japan released March business activity data that came in weaker than expected: the Services PMI dropped from 53.7 to 50.0, while the Composite PMI fell from 52.0 to 48.9. The data is the lowest in two years. These figures could hinder further interest rate hikes by the Bank of Japan. However, most economists still expect the Bank Of Japan to hike at least once more. It's also important to note, that even if the BOJ opts for a prolonged pause, a cut is not likely.   Additionally, a 24% tariff was imposed on Japanese exports to the US yesterday. Prime Minister Mr Ishiba expressed disappointment over Japan's failure to secure a tariff exemption and pledged support measures to help domestic industries manage the impact.   Key Takeaway Points: US Dollar Weakens, Safe Havens Rise: The Japanese Yen and Swiss Franc continue to gain as investors shift away from the US Dollar. USDJPY Under Pressure: USDJPY trades at a 25-week low, with short-term momentum favouring the Dollar but long-term trends pointing to potential Yen strength. NFP and Unemployment Crucial: Today’s Non-Farm Payrolls and unemployment figures will heavily influence short-term USDJPY. On the other hand, trade negotiations will dictate longer-term trends. Japan Faces Mixed Signals: Despite weak PMI data and new US tariffs, the Japanese Yen remains strong. Economists expect at least one more rate hike from the Bank of Japan, but no cuts are in sight.
