Db,

 

Do you mean the LSH at 14?

 

Gringo

 

No. It held at 10 at 1002. Buyers then stepped in and broke the SL a minute later. $ then broke thru 16 3m after that.

 

The fact that $ reversed at R (16) suggested reversal, particularly when $ dropped below 13. But when it stopped at 10 and rallied so strongly, this instead suggested that all this was a RET in the long trade from 08, which, as it turned out, was the case.

Db,

 

B shows a solid strength of demand in action.

 

Does A also give a preliminary green signal to attempt a long?

 

1) S/R is at hand.

2) SL is broken.

3) Test successful.

4) Price rise ensues.

 

Based on these qualifications A also seems to fit the bill for demand asserting itself. It is a bit earlier but is it wrong for someone to attempt a long there based on the above four points?

Hi

Today's summary

 

Trade 1 - played the hinge at the open, PA was clear, had the patience to wait for a pullback and exited just as TL broke

 

Trade 2 – a reversal setup by my rules + no LOD, followed my rules and was happy.

Then price headed down that’s when I noticed the TL (down) from the open, I was patient because of the news and waited for confirmation either up or down because of the downward TL.

 

I totally missed the bigger upward TL from yesterday (drew it only after the rally up to 2821, I was looking for something to explain it)

While price rallied up I was waiting for a pullback or a reversal

 

Trade 3 - when price pulled back after breaching 2821 i went long not realizing that price reversed a tick before HOD, I should have notice that and paid the price.

 

Trade 4 – a small hinge was formed, price was slow moving and I practiced patience till price broke down with speed after a pullback, I was late on the entry…, once I noticed no LL was formed + slow PA I decided to exit with a loss

 

Trade 5 – again a strong thrust down, I was late and waited for a pullback which arrived, when I entered short price froze again and started drifting sideways creating tiny HL, decided to ditch the trade because of the close TL (which I polity disregarded when entering the trade in the first place)

 

Generally I felt better than the last 2 days, PA was much clearer for me, I managed to follow my rules and be in control over impulse (though I slipped a couple of times).

 

Tomer

This is what I was referring to in post 503. If one re-enters the short, he must be prepared to SAR when he gets a HL instead.

Yes, it all makes sense. Thanks Db.

 

We need the chat room...could have been heavenly and efficient with it. Perhaps I'll send another email to the power brokers.

Wasn't on my game today....

 

Due to circumstance missed about the first 15 mins after pit open..This is often a good time to get positioned so felt uncomfortable having missed it. I had a valid entry to short just as I was getting settled in but passed as had already missed an earlier entry point

 

Took a short entry later (mid screen) but the quick exit was random...

 

Accepted I wasn't "on it" so chose to be an observer for remainder of session.

 

Cheers

What is the time frame in the charts?

20 changes?...

 

 

Tomer.

 

Yes..20 x price changes....I use this resolution primarily as an overall view/summary. I look at a 15 sec and a low resolution tick chart to follow price movement for more exact entries/exits more closely in RT.

 

Cheers

This whole forum has been wildly eye opening. Just wanted to say thank you.

 

Hello eminiman414,

 

Welcome! It's good to have another fresh voice in the forum. Feel free to ask questions and enjoy the process of looking at price in a new way. It's like taking the "red pill."

 

:cheers:

Ok, here go my levels for CL for today.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=31815&stc=1&d=1349434713

 

I don´t really understand how many levels are too many, any advise will be appreciated.

 

I tried following NQ in real time along with CL, but I am really not up for the task yet, get confused too easily. That is why I am not posting more NQ charts.

Looking at the 5h chart, crude is in a downtrend and I agree with most of your levels, however, I'm not sure I would rely to heavily on all the levels you have plotted between 88 and 90.5, as I don't see price spending enough time there to provide decent support.

 

If you rely on small congestions on the 10m chart that's fine, I tend to look for larger "value areas" on higher bar intervals (at least the 30m).

Good morning.

 

34 range – a 5 day trading range is visible, price above it, exit from the box ranges was not violent but more with ease with the uptrend.

 

Areas of interest

R @ 2852, 2871

S @ 2821

Upward TL.

 

Tomer.

Crude view

 

I'm with tupapa, i think major levels are more important, and the guessing game is useless since you will know if a level was major and minor only in hindsight.

 

34 range – a clear large frame downtrend, currently testing it, price is after a nice down swing with a decent RET back at previous trading range box lows,

 

13 range – price @ major area, below are minor areas of interest (I usually mark swing high/low )

 

Areas of interest

 

R @ 91.8

S @ 90.60

Minor S on the way down up to 87.70

 

Tomer.

      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

    • @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.
