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

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

    • Date: 3rd April 2025.   Gold Prices Pull Back After Record High as Traders Eye Trump’s Tariffs.   Key Takeaways:   Gold prices retreated after hitting a record high of $3,167.57 per ounce due to profit-taking. President Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on all US imports, escalating trade tensions. Gold remains exempt from reciprocal tariffs, reinforcing its safe-haven appeal. Investors await US non-farm payroll data for further market direction. Fed rate cut bets and weaker US Treasury yields underpin gold’s bullish outlook. Gold Prices Retreat from Record Highs Amid Profit-Taking Gold prices saw a pullback on Thursday as traders opted to take profits following a historic surge. Spot gold declined 0.4% to $3,122.10 per ounce as of 0710 GMT, retreating from its fresh all-time high of $3,167.57. Meanwhile, US gold futures slipped 0.7% to $3,145.00 per ounce, reflecting broader market uncertainty over economic and geopolitical developments.   The recent rally was largely fueled by concerns over escalating trade tensions after President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping new import tariffs. The 10% baseline tariff on all goods entering the US further deepened the global trade conflict, intensifying investor demand for safe-haven assets like gold. However, as traders locked in gains from the surge, prices saw a modest retracement.   Trump’s Tariffs and Their Market Implications On Wednesday, Trump introduced a sweeping tariff policy imposing a 10% baseline duty on all imports, with significantly higher tariffs on select nations. While this move was aimed at bolstering domestic manufacturing, it sent shockwaves across global markets, fueling inflation concerns and heightening trade war fears.   Gold’s Role Amid Trade War Escalations Despite the widespread tariff measures, the White House clarified that reciprocal tariffs do not apply to gold, energy, and ‘certain minerals that are not available in the US’. This exemption suggests that central banks and institutional investors may continue favouring gold as a hedge against economic instability. One of the key factors supporting gold is the slowdown that these tariffs could cause in the US economy, which raises the likelihood of future Federal Reserve rate cuts. Gold is currently in a pure momentum trade. Market participants are on the sidelines and until we see a significant shakeout, this momentum could persist.   Impact on the US Dollar and Bond Yields Gold prices typically move inversely to the US dollar, and the latest developments have pushed the dollar to its weakest level since October 2024. Market participants are increasingly pricing in the possibility of a Fed rate cut, as the tariffs could weigh on economic growth.   Additionally, US Treasury yields have plummeted, reflecting growing recession fears. Lower bond yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, making it a more attractive investment.         Technical Analysis: Key Levels to Watch Gold’s recent rally has pushed it into overbought territory, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 70. This indicates a potential short-term pullback before the uptrend resumes. The immediate support level lies at $3,115, aligning with the Asian session low. A further decline could bring gold towards the $3,100 psychological level, which has previously acted as a strong support zone. Below this, the $3,076–$3,057 region represents a critical weekly support range where buyers may re-enter the market. In the event of a more significant correction, $3,000 stands as a major psychological floor.   On the upside, gold faces immediate resistance at $3,149. A break above this level could signal renewed bullish momentum, potentially leading to a retest of the record high at $3,167. If bullish momentum persists, the next target is the $3,200 psychological barrier, which could pave the way for further gains. Despite the recent pullback, the broader trend remains bullish, with dips likely to be viewed as buying opportunities.   Looking Ahead: Non-Farm Payrolls and Fed Policy Traders are closely monitoring Friday’s US non-farm payrolls (NFP) report, which could provide critical insights into the Federal Reserve’s next policy moves. A weaker-than-expected jobs report may strengthen expectations for an interest rate cut, further boosting gold prices.   Other key economic data releases, such as jobless claims and the ISM Services PMI, may also impact market sentiment in the short term. However, with rising geopolitical uncertainties, trade tensions, and a weakening US dollar, gold’s safe-haven appeal remains strong.   Conclusion: While short-term profit-taking may trigger minor corrections, gold’s long-term outlook remains bullish. As global trade tensions mount and the Federal Reserve leans toward a more accommodative stance, gold could see further gains in the months ahead.   Always trade with strict risk management.
