Taylor Trading Technique

Recommended Posts

Not a bad Buy day for my Cycle. ES declined to the projected lows and then rallied all day to the previous day high.

 

It is so much easier to see these levels now with the Add-On software the take the numbers from the report and puts it right on the chart for you.

Hi All

 

Today was a perfect example of a Sell (confusing) day, but the markets managed to make a higher high anyway. On ES 2 short trades were possible at the TTT MA levels and with good Fibs or DP

Dogpile you still there ?

This thread is to discuss the 'count' of the Taylor Trading Technique. For those unfamiliar, you can read about it in George Taylors book or in Linda Rashkes 'Street Smarts' book - Chapter 7 & 8.

 

Rather than discus the technique broadly, which is somewhat complex -- let's just dive into present-day conditions and decide what day we are on and why we think so...

... an ideal buy day is a low made first.... with a high made last....

... an ideal short day is a high made first which penetrates the high of the 2nd day of the cycle.... if an uptrend....

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

.... in a downtrend.... an ideal sell day is a high made first... with a low made last....

.... and an ideal buy day is a low made first which penetrates the low of the 2nd day of the cycle... if a downtrend....

 

... depending.... the cycle could be only 3 days... or more than 3 days....

Just downloaded a copy of ttt .

Just downloaded a copy of ttt and it is very badly written and hard going.I want to persevere with the concept though as it fits in very well with how i believe markets work.Somebody really should lay out this concept in a much condensed form with clear diagrams.But your suggestion of relating it to the market going forward would really help me pick this up quicker so i hope you don't mind me joining in here as a newcomer to this forum.

To get the ball rollin' i guess todays rally was a buy day,and that the cycle might be extended beyond the normal 3 days? Today was a 'gap up and go' and was easy to spot early on.I would think that not as many shorts are trapped as you might normally assume for 2 reasons (1) many bears must have got increasingly nervous as the recent selloff looked over extended with the vix not showing panic and no real news, (2) fridays strong close off the 666.7 low,was an early warning for bears to cover.

 

I must agree with you that Taylor had a great mind, but a terrible writer.

 

I did a short recap of his book which is available through my website.

 

There also must be a reason why no one has ever rewritten his book. Probably the manipulators don't want everybody to understand how they move the markets. Others wrote how they modified the method to the way they understand and adapted their trading to the principle.

 

I had Monday as a Buy day. On Buy days we need to get a decline from the SS day high. Since we had closed near the highs on Friday the decline had to take place on Monday. On Sell days we need a rally from the Buy day low. That is exactly what we got on Tuesday.

....nice going mitsubishi....

 

.... it seems the thread has died somewhat..... we got to get it going again....

Looking at todays action and comparing to my earlier post,not too shabby.First, the morning high was close enough to 734 resistance.Then in the selloff we were looking for 717 support around mid day.The actual low was 714 but came later at 2.30pm (mid day was around 718) ,r than me babbling on for 3 posts in a row!

.... if my count is correct....

.... then if the low of tuesday as a buy day .... is a higher low than thursday's low (buy day) ... then the uptrend is intact....

....thursday low was 710.75 ES ....

.... so if tuesday low is above 710.75 .... then could be an uptrend now....

... here is my count.... on hourly chart....

... with BMSB 3 day cycle....

... high came first.... although late in the day....

.... low came last....

...decline came fast and hard... so must cover without holding overnight.....

 

... for an uptrend... tuesday low ... needs to be higher than 710 es .... in order to maintain up trend.... for tuesday buy day low....

 

..... possibility of holding short over night.... is suggested by the lateness of the high.....

.... sometimes if the high comes late in the day ... it suggests a continuation of the downside correction....

 

.... 50% is at 718 es

It's still my view that the rally has been halted at 803,confirmed again today when prev support 789 became resistance.Market closed right on the 768 support.Rather than buying on a buy day in the cycle,when your view is that the trend is down,i see this as the smart money holding up the selling to stop the market 'running away' from them and since monday will be a sell day,they held it at 768 for the last 2 hours and into the close so they can push up the futures on sunday/monday morning in order to start selling again higher up.Then tues is a short sale day which could take us to 734 support where the rally could continue.The pattern today was an inversion of monday. R10 (x2) worked well again the high 788.9 close 768.5.and there was a 10 point bounce off the low 766 to 776 before the selling resumed....and some people think the market is random... have a nice weekend

 

Interesting take, you obviously have grounding in Taylor methodology, would appreciate if you could take the trouble to illustrate with charts, that would make it a lot easier to follow,

 

BTW what is R10(x2)

Thanks a bunch mitsubishi, yes the explanation with charts are great to understand your viewpoint.

Interesting analysis.

 

Thanks for the links : have the Taylor book, infact have gone through it a number of times and with the help of WHY? and Richbois have learnt a lot .

As far as support/resistance levels are concerned, I am not much into elliot etc, but just use the previous price ie. swings, congestions etc to mark off . I believe elliot waves are discussed much more on Richbois thread:

http://www.mypivots.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3237&whichpage=76

I am sure you posts there also would be very much welcomed.

 

Look forward to more input and discussion with you.

well it is Monday, should be very interesting this week,

 

Say do you take in to account the Globex session. as prices overnight have reached above friday's high on ESmini (M9)

    • Date: 6th March 2025.   The Euro is on The Rise But Is the Currency Overbought?     The Euro rose more than 4% over four days making it the currency’s best performance since COVID lockdowns. The upward price movement is primarily driven by the European bond market which saw its worst day since the 1990s. However, investors are now evaluating whether the Euro is overbought.   Why Is the Euro Increasing in Value? The Euro's rise is driven by the EU's new ‘re-arm’ plans, announced by the European Commission President. This is in response to the US suspending military aid to Ukraine. Analysts believe increased military spending will strengthen the Euro in the short term, but its impact may fade, especially if the Ukraine-Russia conflict ends. The US is looking to achieve this by halting aid and no longer sharing military intelligence.     In addition, the German Bond fell and witnessed their worst day in almost 30 years. As a result the higher bond yields also continue to support the Euro. Currently, the Euro Index is trading 0.09% higher and is only witnessing a decline against the Japanese Yen. However, the price movement of the Euro will also depend on the European Central Bank and potential Trump Tariffs. Economists remain convinced that Trump's tariff threats are serious and will be imposed on the EU. Just last week, he announced that Washington will impose 25% tariffs on Europe-made ‘cars and all other things’. On April 2nd, Washington plans to introduce another round of ‘reciprocal’ tariffs, adding to those already in effect. Germany remains particularly vulnerable, as a large portion of its industry relies on exports to the US. This can potentially have a negative effect on the Euro and the European stock market.   Is the European Central Bank a Risk for the Euro? The European Central Bank is due to announce its rate decision this afternoon and conduct a press conference thereafter. The ECB may potentially aim to calm the market after German Bonds took a hit. If the ECB remains dovish and also reassures the market of the Eurozone’s fiscal and monetary policy, the Euro can retrace in the short term. Analysts currently advise today’s ECB meeting will most likely be the most interesting in years and the most unpredictable. Markets are expecting a rate of 2.65% from the ECB. Analysts at Morgan Stanley believe the ECB will maintain its "dovish" stance in March and April to support the economy, especially as inflation slowed to 2.4% in February from 2.5% the previous month, nearing the 2.0% target. If the ECB advice rates are likely to continue falling in 2025, the Euro will struggle to maintain bullish momentum.   EURUSD - Technical Analysis and Indicators The EURUSD is still witnessing indications of bullish price movement on the 2-hour chart and fundamentals also support the upward price movement. However, simultaneously, the price is obtaining indications the currency is overbought in the short to medium term. The EURUSD is trading above the overbought level on the RSI and is obtaining a divergence signal on most timeframes.       Therefore, the possibility of the price being overbought and retracing remains, but the price action will depend on the ECB. Until the ECB’s rate decision and press conference, the average price at 1.08000 will be key as it has been so far today.   Key Takeaway Points: The Euro surged over 4% in four days, its best performance since COVID lockdowns, driven by European bond market turmoil. The EU’s ‘re-arm’ plans and rising German bond yields boost the Euro, but US tariffs and ECB decisions may impact its trend. The ECB’s upcoming rate decision and monetary policy stance could shape short-term price movements, with a dovish approach expected. Despite strong fundamentals, RSI overbought levels and divergence signals suggest a possible retracement, depending on the ECB. Always trade with strict risk management.
