To clarify the chart I posted in #102, I said "this is what I'm looking at now on the NQ". However, it should be obvious that I don't trade off BigCharts, nor do I use the QQQQ to give me signals. What I meant was that those were the price and volume clusters I was looking at, and continue to look at. I posted the QQQQ from BigCharts because (a) this is available to everyone and (b) it's close enough, at least for the purpose of illustrating these concepts. Anyone interested in doing this for real, eventually, should get himself a real-time feed and follow his own NQ or ES or whatever charts.

Do you mean that the charts aren't accurate? I am aware of the differences between the futures and cash market for example. I actually posted the question about the offset between both in another thread. Perhaps you could shed some light on it too.

Incidentally, W would most likely move his stop up below 1840. Nic?

 

The first chart is the NQ 1m from yesterday which I think is the chart under discussion. Along with a trailing stop I believe W would have drawn the channels and considered exiting at the preliminary supply and/or buying climax (BC) areas. The BC is especially attractive because:

  1. Price hit a prior day's congestion
  2. It was overbought outside an accelerating channel (position)
  3. It reached a point and figure target

 

I've never tried point and figure on the 1m NQ so I don't know how well it works. Not all stocks/securities work with point and figure and each one would have to be checked historically to confirm.

Within the context of Tuesday's selling climax and re-test, I thought it might be interesting to discuss 'the big picture'. Mainly, because I seem to recognize the same concepts and as they apply on each timeframe,...

 

From what I can see:

(a) is a selling climax on huge volume, and demand overcomes supply because if you blend the bars, it's a hammer-like formation and price closes well off the lows

(b) a break of the demandline

© a higher low

(d) a re-test of the low, and on lower volume

(e) a shake-out and in effect another test, on higher volume but price closes off the lows

(f) a higher high

(g) and a higher low => confirmation of new uptrend

(h) a new (cyan) demand line can be drawn

 

Forget for a minute that everybody is saying that this is a bear trend and just look at the chart. Or for the sake of the exercise suppose that this is a intraday chart instead of a daily one, doesn't this validate taking a long position? What elements have I interpreted incorrectly?

Hi Zeon,

 

I'm a ST/IT trader and prefer this big picture. Looking at only the daily chart isn't providing the full picture from a W point of view. The weekly has to be taken into account and that trend is down. If the trend were up then making long commitments on the selling climax and subsequent tests would fit the strategy. W does provide examples of making short term long trades in bear market rallies but he didn't take on intermediate longs and didn't advocate trading short term against the longer primary trend, though it's probably fine for an advanced trader, IMO, with a proven track record of trading with the trend first.

I'm sorry, but if I understood correctly you disagree with the example dbphoenix give Tuesday then?

 

How do you know this 'double bottom' isn't a change of the trend? We've failed to make a lower low and the demand is breached and we've moved up above the last swing high...

 

(Don't get me wrong, I agree this is a bear market; I'm playing devil's advocate here).

Going back to post 122 above and what I'm looking at on the NQ, I'm posting a chart of what I actually am looking at (which isn't BigCharts). This may be tangential to the discussion, but without real people making real trades in real markets off real charts, it all becomes the usual hypothetical, philosophical discussions that become interesting but irrelevant and push people toward Miracle Software ("Anybody Can Do It!").

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=6081&stc=1&d=1208437000

 

Note that after bouncing off long-term support, price consolidated between the bottom and midpoint of the first range. It then stalled and formed a hinge at the bottom of the next range. It then consolidated again at a line which has served as both support and resistance all month. Then to the midpoint of the range created on the 8th and the bottom of the range which preceded the cascade. Overnite, we reached 1870, the top of this range. Whether we reach 1880 or not remains to be seen. If there's no buying climax, I'll be looking at pretty much what Nic posted, though I'll scale out as usual under these circumstances.

I'll have to go through Tuesday's posts to find out which one you are referring to. Is it the 1m NQ I already responded to?

 

I'm curious about the double bottom because McLaren, with 40 years of experience, states that double bottoms rarely end down trends. They are terrific in up trends but usually fail in down trends. The reverse is true of double tops.

And others say that neither is true, that markets reverse in rounded tops and bottoms. So I guess it depends on what you're looking at and who you're listening to.:)

 

Which is why it's important, as Schabacker says, to focus on the behavior creating the pattern and not on the pattern itself. You provided a good example of that in the chart you posted.

 

Whether W would be trading this at all is debatable since, technically, we aren't trending at all; we've been consolidating for three months. A hundred years ago, ranges such as these were only a few points wide. Now they're 200pts (or at least this one is), so the trips from top to bottom and back again are actually worth trading.

Even though the blood is now flowing to my head, I still can't remember who said this, though it must have been somebody I pay close attention to, and there aren't many: Mamis, Schabacker, Magee, a couple of others. But I do recall now that whoever it was said that corrections end in double tops and bottoms but bull and bear markets don't, rather the latter end in rounded tops and bottoms.

 

Of course, "the exception proves the rule" blah blah. The Nasdaq ended in a peculiar sort of triple top in '00, which to me was classic Wyckoff, though others might disagree.

Of more importance is the terminal shakeout (GBPUSD) and apparent follow through today that offered an intraday entry. I'll find the relevant material from the course.

W might call the area encompassed by the red lines a hinge (Schabacker would prefer that it be filled with price, i.e., the 0950 swing high should reach all the way to the top red line). A pattern person might see a rising wedge -- the area encompassed by the blue lines.

 

Either way, the result is the same, a continuation of the move down from 1870.

The Terminal Shakeout (TSO) - Wyckoff

 

"A Terminal Shakeout is a rapid or precipitous downward movement, occurring at or near the end of a period of preparation for an advance. In the case of deliberate manipulation, the purpose of the terminal shakeout is to scare holders of stock into selling out; to catch stops which may have been placed on long positions below the previous line of supports in the accumulation zone, in other words, mop up as much cheap stock as possible; and to encourage short selling around the bottom on the part of the public. After the bag has thus been held for the weak holders and amateur shorts, the strings are pulled to lock in these shorts and to shut out the sold out bulls. This may be done either by a gradual or by a rapid recovery in the price.

 

It makes no practical difference whether a shakeout is due to manipulation or panicky selling on the part of distressed longs. In either case, the selling that forces the sharp downward acceleration of the price movement is due to supply of poor quality. And the ensuing recovery is caused by the superior quality of the demand which is taking advantage of frightened sellers."

 

They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. I see GBPUSD on the 60m as one.

As for the talk about the buying climax recently...

 

I was wondering what the enormous volume peak yesterday near the close could mean. I had actually closed my papertrade long 1 minute before the sudden jump that moved us from 1847 to 1867 and higher :doh:

 

Could this be a buying climax or has this more to do with news or the fact that people are closing their position near the end of the day?

 

The chart is from BigCharts, but my data feed gives me a similar volume rise, which is in the context of intraday trading really extraordinary...

The volume peak was one minute after the close, when Google news were released.

Wednesday we had a strong up-move too, but it looks different comparing the volume. The volume peak on Wednesday was in the high area, yesterday we went up on the first bar with the highest volume. Thats maybe the reason, why we can stay up for now.

I thought I'd upload this volume by price chart of the NQ. I've seen Db comment on the extremes of these bell curve volume distributions being potentially good areas to trade from.

 

I'm not an expert by any means however, so I'll leave further commentary to Db or gassah. :)

I don't know that any comment is necessary, treadstone. A picture's worth etc etc.

 

I should caution those who are new to this, however, that the VAP distribution is current. Before drawing any conclusions regarding trades prior to, say, the 16th, a new chart would have to be drawn that does not include the 16th or 17th or today. In this case, it might not matter. In most cases, however, the VAP distribution will be considerably different. Not that one can trade the past anyway, but if one is backtesting this, he can test only the right edge, and the data must end there (as opposed to just scrolling back).

Regarding the above, I hope that those who are playing with these charts are making the connection between the volume and the swing points. Otherwise, there's no point in doing it:

      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 ?

      Hello everyone!
      I am an advanced trader, with many years of experience (about 15 years - 10 living exclusively from this)
      I am going to give you some tips that you must know:
      There are going to be many people who tell you that trade is easy, that with only crossiing a line  with another one you will win a lot of money.... and that´s not true.  No, Sir, reality is far away from that. Many people who start arrive here with the hope that someone "gives them" a free method, they watch youtube videos thinking that this will give them the "strategy" and in a few days they realize that it does not work for them - they lose money - and then They go looking for a new one ... and so on. YES, IT´S TRUE YOU EARN IN TRADING, A LOT. BUT THINK: for a few to win (10% + any BROKER) many others must lose (90% people). YOU MUST HAVE A MONEY MANAGMENT FORMULA ( you can email me) People study so many years to live on this, not because they are dumb, but to know what they do, when, and have absolute effectiveness. It´s very easy to get lost here: do not disperse, jumping from one to another strategy WILL NEVER give you money, it will only waste your time and make you nervous when trading. PEOPLE WHO CHANGE THEIR METHOD CONSTANTLY : LOOOOSE ALWAYS.   If you have the knowledge to develop it, take your time and do it.  Always try it first on DEMO for at least 2 weeks! If not: search to buy a solid strategy (no you tube videos pleassse ! Avoid losing money! ) This is like any business, it requires some capital to start (capital = money in the broker + solid made /purchased strategy) If you are lost: I RECOMMEND YOU NOT TO WASTE TIME IN YOUTUBE, JOIN PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE AND IF YOU ARE GOING TO BUY A METHOD ... PLEASE !!!! DO NOT BUY 10 BAD AND CHEAP METHODS, SAVE MONEY AND BUY ONLY 1 BUT EXCLUSIVE AND MUST ALLWAYS HAVE SUPPORT !!!!!  Do not buy Signals! They never keep up with constant profits! One week will win and the next will lose. Nothing that does not depend absolutely on you will give you the money you are looking for. And if you do not have a strategy (made or purchased) do not even try PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE: DO NOT USE REAL MONEY! AT LEAST 2 WEEK DEMO FREE HELP HERE!!!!!  IF YOU FOLLOW MY ADVICE YOU WILL BE PART OF THAT 10% WINNER, email me.
      Have a nice trading day

    • Date: 21st November 2024. Gold Regains Momentum as NVIDIA Delivers a Revenue Surge! NVIDIA beat earnings expectations, and nearly doubled revenue on an annual basis. NVIDIA stocks dip slightly despite strong earnings and a strong forecast for the current quarter. Analysts expect market participants to purchase the dip. The Japanese Yen wins back some ground as Bank of Japan Governor indicates the regulator will be willing to hike to support the FX market. Gold, Silver and other Metals all rise due to predictions of high retail and institutional demand and geopolitical tensions remaining high. NASDAQ – NVIDIA Surpasses Earnings Expectations! The NASDAQ took a sudden dip on Wednesday measuring 1.50%, however, investors quickly took the opportunity to purchase at the lower price as most indicators fell to give an oversold indication. As a result, the NASDAQ ended the day only slightly lower than the open price, but downward momentum remains this morning. The downward momentum is partially due to geopolitical tensions which are on the rise. Yesterday, Ukraine fired UK-made missiles into Russia and fired US-made the day before. There are also reports and speculations that Russia has sent ICB Missiles into Ukraine for the first time. However, reports are not confirmed, and there are signs of certain stocks recovering. Currently, there is no economic data which is driving the lack of demand, therefore investors are mainly concentrating on NVIDIA earnings. NVIDIA beat earnings expectations by 8.50% and revenue by 5.90%. Investors were particularly impressed by the significantly higher revenue which has almost doubled annually. In addition to this, the forecast given for the current quarter came in relatively strong. Lastly, the CEO, Jenson Huang, said to Bloomberg that demand exceeds supply but the company is setting in place measures to boost supply in order to meet the high level of demand. Taking into consideration the strong earnings, positive tone and upbeat forecasts for the coming quarter, many may wonder, “why is the stock declining 2.50% during this morning’s Asian session?”. This is partially due to the lower risk appetite, but also due to certain forecast expectations for NVIDIA not being met. The average NVIDIA forecast expectations from Wall Street firms was $37.1 billion, which NVIDIA comfortably surpassed. However, certain firms had expectations as high as $41 billion. Based on these higher expectations, the company underachieved and could trigger a lack of demand from this sector of Wall Street. Though many analysts continue to expect shareholders to purchase the lower price as long as the stock market will remain favorable.   EURJPY – BOJ To Consider Hike! The EURJPY declines for a second consecutive day, particularly gaining bearish momentum after this morning’s Bank of Japan press conference. The main takeaway from the press conference was that the Governor told journalists that the BOJ was willing to hike interest rates in the upcoming months but decisions will be made meeting by meeting. The Bank of Japan’s decision to raise interest rates in July was influenced in part by the weak Yen, which had driven up import costs and inflation. At the Europlace Financial Forum in Tokyo, Governor Kazuo Ueda emphasized that exchange-rate fluctuations are a key consideration in shaping economic and inflation forecasts. He noted that the central bank carefully examines what is driving these currency changes when assessing their impact. The EURJPY now trades below the 75-Bar Exponential Moving Average and below the 50.00 on the RSI. In addition to this, the exchange rate continues to form lower swing lows while the Euro underperforms against most currencies. These indications point towards a potential downward price movement.   Gold – Geopolitical Tensions Send Gold on a Bullish Path! Gold has increased in value for a fourth consecutive day, driven largely by geopolitical tensions. Additionally, the absence of significant US economic news has left markets uncertain about the Federal Reserve’s next move. Gold is currently witnessing an active buy signal from most momentum-based indicators due to the strong bullish momentum. For example, traders are able to see the price trading above the Bollinger Band, within a bullish moving average crossover and significantly high on most oscilators. However, investors should note as the price increases, the asset can become overbought and this may trigger a retracement, a correction or sideways price movement. In terms of geopolitical tensions, hopes for a Middle East ceasefire are being tempered by Russia’s revision of its nuclear doctrine, which aims to strengthen its borders after the US-approved long-range strikes from Ukraine reached deep into Russian territory. Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s re-election has yet to significantly influence the conflict, though markets remain optimistic about potential positive developments following his January 20 inauguration.

    • Date: 20th November 2024. Market Rebounds as Putin Signals Readiness for Peace Talks; Focus Shifts to NVIDIA! US Stocks drop to a 2-week low after Ukraine fired US-made missiles into Russia, but rebound in the US session. Putin updates nuclear doctrine, allowing Russia to strike Ukraine if it uses weapons from nuclear-armed nations. Walmart again beat earnings expectations pushing the stock 3.00% higher. Earnings Per Share beat expectations by 8.00%. The Japanese Yen loses momentum and corrects back to previous lows. The US Dollar maintains strong bullish momentum. UK Inflation Rate rises from 1.7% to 2.3% supporting the GBP despite budget concerns continuing. NVIDIA is set to release their quarterly earnings report after market close. NVIDIA stock has risen more than 5.00% indicating the market expects a beat. NASDAQ – All Eyes On NVIDIA Earnings Report! The NASDAQ ended Tuesday 0.71% higher despite coming under significant pressure during the Asian and European session. The NASDAQ fell 1.20% during the day’s first two sessions due to geopolitical tensions triggering a much lower risk appetite. This is due to the US as well as other countries agreeing to allow Ukraine to strike Russia with foreign made weapons. Ukraine quickly took advantage of this by firing ATACMS into Russia. Russia responded by changing their nuclear weapon use doctrine. Here we can see why the global stock market fell rapidly. However, why did the market recover during the US session? During the US session, the risk appetite and confidence of the market improved as the White House confirmed nothing changes with Russia changing their Nuclear Weapons Doctrine. In addition to this, President Putin also said that he would be willing to start peace talks with President Elect Trump. Lastly, the market also took the opportunity to purchase the lower price since NVIDIA’s earnings report is imminent and Walmart already beat their earnings expectations. Walmart is not a component of the NASDAQ, but has improved the sentiment towards the US stock market. NVIDIA, which is on the NASDAQ, is set to release their quarterly earnings report after market close. NVIDIA stock rose 4.89% yesterday and a further 0.47% this morning indicating the market expects a beat. Analysts expect the company’s Earnings Per Share to rise from $0.68 to $0.75 and revenue from $30.04 billion to $33.14 billion. As no US economic data is set to be made public throughout the day, investors are solely concentrating on geopolitical tensions and earnings. The price of the NASDAQ rose above the 75-bar exponential moving average on the 2-hour chart for the first time since 14th. Traders will be monitoring whether the index will be able to maintain momentum above this level and if the price may also rise above the 100-bar SMA. Traders will be waiting for the NASDAQ to regain bullish momentum and if so will act accordingly. Buy signals are likely to rise if the price increases above $20,764.30 and intensifies above $20,777.93. GBPUSD – UK Inflation Rises Above Expectations! The price of the GBPUSD increased in value taking the exchange rate to a 1-week high, but concerns remain according to analysts. The exchange rate is trading 0.30% higher after the UK made public their latest inflation rate. The UK inflation rate rose from 1.7% to 2.3% which is higher than previous expectations and considerably higher than the previous month. The GBP is currently the best performing currency with the Pound index trading 0.21% higher. However, the second best performing is the US Dollar Index which is trading 0.14% higher. Therefore, investors need to be cautious that a retrace or correction is still possible while the US Dollar Index remains high. Currently the Pound is coming under pressure from the Autumn Budget and from farming strikes which are continuing. However, comments from the Bank of England could support the currency. The BoE warns that planned National Insurance hikes in the Labour budget may drive up prices, slow wage growth, and reduce hiring. Significant inflation could force prolonged tight monetary policy.
