Drummond Geometry

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I have started this thread to discuss more about Drummond Geometry trading style.

 

I have been using this method for the last year and I must say it is very logical way of trading.

 

I will post some articles by Ted Hearne to start of.

 

It would be good to get more P&L traders to join this thread.

 

Regards

 

Simon

Simon - I hope the thread can get off the ground for you as I've often heard about Drummon, but never got into it myself. A good trader friend of mine attempted to learn it, but he felt is was not working for him. My understanding is that it takes quite a while to learn, so I'm sure that turns some people off.

Hi Brownsfan,

 

I must admit it is hard to learn at first, I only started to grasp the main principles after I went over the 1-5 lessons the second time. The PLDot push and refresh principle is just great especially when you use it using multiple time frames just gold.

 

The PL dot is nothing more than a 3 day moving average of High,Low and Close moved forward in time by one bar.

I will do my best to chip in here. I don't trade P&L per se however any instrument that I do trade I have a P&L workspace set up for it.

 

One of the issues with P&L is the NDA. Whilst I am pretty sure it's un enforceable I do respect the sentiment behind it. Having said that, certain things clearly fall outside as they are in the public domain anyway (11's are floor pivots for example). Other things I feel it's OK to speak about in a broad context.

 

I have made a few posts here in the past about Drummond if you are interested.

 

Cheers.

Hi all,

 

I am a newby to this forum (nice site by the way !) but I am an experienced trader,and have used Drummond's work for quite a while. I find it logical and usually very reliable. I have signed their non-disclosure and respect it but I think I can probably answer a lot of questions without revealing things that they want me to hold close to the chest. Let me know if I can help.

A good geometric lean and lesson one is all that is needed to make money. KISS

 

Indeed! Having said that there is such a huge amount of information it is easy to get confused! When you buy the course you are essentially getting Drummonds lifes work.

 

One of the most valuable things (imho) is the treatment of multiple timeframes (particularly in respect to types of trading).

 

It is a comprehensive piece of work that rewards study (in my case it took many thousands of hours to really 'get' it). But as you rightly say you can take one idea or concept and trade it successfully. Recognising this requires some maturity as a trader however. I like some of the basic geometry too, 11's & 5x's are very traceable, especially if they line up right with the envelope and pldot.

Hi All,

 

Does anyone use any other software than Tradestation for Drummond Geometry?

 

Im using multicharts at the moment but do not like how the higher time frame pldots and envelopes are drawn on the lower time frame windows.

 

I have attached a screen image of my chart.

I am using MC too. In the past I wrote the indicators for Ensign (too slow) and NeoTicker. Funnily enough I was thinking about doing a Ninjatrader version but it dosen't handle bars bigger than intraday particularly well (imo).

 

What don't you like about HTP dots envelopes?

Hi Blowfish,

 

Well the problem is that it does not show in stairstep format, just like the Tradestation.

 

I have attached a sample what I am looking at, I have enquired with TS they game some dll link file to connect and do it another way, but it is way to complicated, maybe someone knows how to use global variables in Multicharts.

Thanks Blowfish,

 

Excellent Chart just brilliant!

 

So tell me Blowfish how can I correct those HTF to look normal on the LTF.

 

Your help will be much appreciated.

Basically you need an indicator that is working on the group of bars x bars back. I am unfamiliar with the newer Drummond indicators but back in the day they used to be called things like 'DGII Pldot' or some such for Intraday on Intraday. It looks like you are plotting the 'DGLII Pldot' which is the live (or developing) version.

Hi Blowfish,

 

OK I have played and played, this is the best I can come up with. It looks good to me.

 

There are four time frames on this one, the dark red(brown) is the daily with the live dot as the white line.

 

Next I am going to put in the RU and Su zones from the 1 hourly and daily followed by the 6s and 5s points.

OK Next Question to all Drummond Geometry traders.

 

I am trying to program in Multicharts the Hi and Low 11 Zones.

 

Can someone post a chart of yesterdays CME EUR currency 10Min with the High and Low 1-1 zones on it.

 

Need to check if my formula is correct.

Hi Blowfish,

 

Thanks for your help.

 

I have setup my charts with most of the Drummond information, I am sure the coding can be improved but for now, it looks very good to me.

 

To all those people who are reading this thread - there is a lot of information on this chart and probably confusing, but if you studied Drummond Geometry it will all make sense.

 

Good Trading to all.

 

Simon

Have to use TS...I have heard about MC, NT etc etc...have most of them.

 

But TS is a programmers concern, the original DG indicators for intra-day never were accurate, trust me here on this one.

 

With all due respect, why should we trust you? What kind of studies/evidence do you have?

    • I guess US has fund managers and investment banking institutions looking after the portfolios on behalf of their clients.
    • There are many resources related to forex trading available on forums like babypips and forexfactory etc.
    • Candle stick pattern is one of the easiest charting patterns available to learn and make money. However, new traders never learn about the skills needed for earning money but they rush for making money and eventually lose their money.
    • Nothing wrong with being a ‘progressive’. Nothing wrong with being a ‘conservative’.  Very generally, ‘conservatives’ have preponderance of the here and now neurotransmitters, prefer empirical references, the rule of law, and value individual agency (It has been said that conservatives love humans and progressives love humanity) . Very generally, ‘progressives’ are dopaginaric - driven by passion for a better possible future, prefer references to others  (Example Karmela won’t answer questions with facts.  She cites the opinion of 18 ‘experts’), have a penchant for rule by man/mobs not by law , and value ‘societal' agency.  However, excesses of either tendency indicates mental illness, collective malaise, and has consequences.  When either camp is systematically captured by control seekers and/or, situationally by mobs, the whole is lessened. A key sign that is occurring is when one side no longer allows disagreement.  Progressives have  currently gone crazy in those excesses and are no longer allowing anything but unithought... examples - You can still be a vocal pro choice republican.  Try being a vocal pro life democrat. For snicks just try it.  You’ll get cancelled.  Bust a myth about blacks in America, true up the real  history of Republicans ending slavery and what has happened since, how the democrats are the party of the KKK, how Obama did not a fkn thang for blacks in general, be a black republican, etc.    You will get canceled in a heartbeat. Step up and question the social agendas of federally subsidized schools at a board meeting... get treated like shit and also get an immediate case number with the FBI ... Question the requirements to watch and lickkiss the 'rainbows' and also make sure your kids show up for it, not to mention fund transitions out of your pocket and see what you get ‘labeled’ Question mainstream media bias - even just to mention that biased, agenda driven narrative is different from truth in reporting - and see what happens to your voice... Excesses have consequences... imbalances have consequences... just sayin’
