0815: Price drops below 77, but the short entry off the ret is not triggered. Price moves back into the range.

We have an overnight range from 77 to 88, with a midpoint of 83. We made another attempt at 88 a few hours ago, failed and fell to the bottom of the range. In the morning we have and tried to escape the range and returned inside and we are heading for the mean again.

 

If we break below the range, I would look for the opportunity for a short, keeping an eye on the levels from yesterday. We have various swing lows, and a 50% at 67 to watch for, along with the mean of yesterday's morning channel at around 54.

 

I was kind of surprised that we didn't make it to the previous swing high of 600 after getting so close. It wouldn't take much of a push today to get us up there, and I would look for a long if price heads that direction. If it gets there I would be aware that we may get a quick reversal, or at least some consolidation around the area. If price just pushes through without stopping, then I can assume that the long is the correct direction.

 

This is as good an example of What Do I Do Next as one can expect in the early stages of learning how to trade rationally.

SLA trades for this morning:

 

:) I only followed the market until the rejection of 52, but it was pretty much the same thing as far as entries go. I think I am still closing the 1 lot too early.

 

Another thing, why not the REV at the open?

 

What REV at the open?

What REV at the open?

 

They ran out of buyers at 80 just after the open, it was inside a very tiny range so my "REV" is more like the prelude of the BO, I had 77.50 as an entry so that is why I asked.

 

BTW, what did I miss there :confused:

 

77 was a line in the sand since yesterday afternoon. I wanted to see it broken first. Three points is not that big a deal.

The chart on the left was posted yesterday evening. The chart on the right is today's session. These illustrate as well as anything the value of AMT.

 

If you didn't rake in a sizeable portion of this today, why not?

The above looks eerily similar to what's in the SLA-AMT file.

 

1) Use AMT to identify an extreme.

2) Wait for price to reach it.

2) Start using SLA when that extreme is reached.

 

Can it get simpler than this?

I was looking at those same lines and I thought to myself - it's against the rules. I need to keep reminding myself that the lines are there to show the mean and the rules sometimes need to be fudged to do that.

 

I did find something that worked. Yesterday basically doubled the range and I guess apple went crazy after the close and caused our interesting overnight session.

 

(Let's see how many days this takes to post.)

I've modified my longer-term tick chart. I basically went back to the original supply line we had drawn on 3/19 and moved the lower parallel to somewhere that makes some sense. With these current lines we see 3/21, 4/2 and today as overbought and 4/15 as oversold. Although this captures the extremes well enough I lack confidence in it defining the mean at all based on prior price action.

 

Am I just curve fitting?

Your UL is drawn incorrectly, but how is this against the rules? The point is to track demand and supply. My chart does just that. And did. Confirmed by subsequent price action.

If you move the LL, then you lose all the OS information. You're drawing these lines in hindsight. If they are going to be of any use, you have to draw them left to right, not right to left.

 

You may want to open up a journal if this is to be ongoing.

Unusual to post essentially the same chart three days in a row:

 

 

 

 

0837: While most do not like to trade pre-market for some reason, I should point out here that we came within 2pts of the UL after the Claims reports. This provided a legitimate short op. Whether it succeeds or not is of course unknowable. (Edit: short entry came 17m later)

 

0910: Rather than post another chart, I'll just point out that the mean of this channel is around 3600, which we are rapidly approaching. If we get there, that will provide a 14pt profit before the opening bell.

What is OS? The new SLA document is first class.

 

Oversold. OB=overbought.

So far is succeeding

SO, but still a good trade. You never know.

 

Now we wait for the opening reconciliation.

 

0929: A DT and a Dog. Here we go again.

 

0931: And here we are at 3600. The LL, of course, is around 3580.

      Hey guys , what are the main things you look for to detect if the consolidation area is accumulating or distributing ? 
      1 ) I see springs in top , still markup happens and it becomes accumulation area and vice versa
      2) There is lots of volume absorption in support line and still markdown occurs.
      3) sometimes in market high / low it becomes re-accumulation  / re-distribution
      Is there any clear way to find it ?

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
