Reading Charts in Real Time

Recommended Posts

.... But I did find an MP3 of a webinar she did on Mental Performance, and I thought I'd share it here.

 

I hope you enjoy it.

This was awesome. I finally got around to listening to it - thanks a lot for the share!

 

With kind regards,

Hi Folks,

 

First, I want to thank patrader for the great charts showing how he tracks price action using trendlines and channels. I hope he doesn't mind if I add a my own take on the current 6E. It is not, I think, in any conflict with his approach.

I have shown an example like this in the past where I draw a trend line along two or more lows of a rally after a sharp decline. I then cop and paste that trend line to the chart, anchoring it at the first high off the extreme low of the decline. This produces a very good target to exit any longs, a short entry point with a very, very tight stop, and it also helps one interpret the current and subsequent character of price action.

 

As Marko had mentioned here in the past, a good rule of thumb is that "if it channels, it is corrective," i.e. price action that is bounded by a channel tends to be either counter-trend or a consolidation prior to a continuation. In this case, price rallied and just within the past few minutes touched that upper trend line.

 

What price does next should be telling. If price falls from here, then I would expect the decline to carry to the lower trendline, and if the lower trend line breaks, I would be looking for at least a test of the most recent extreme low.

 

However, should price rest up here a bit and then break and hold above the trendline, then this is likely not merely a minor correction, but we should see a larger rally, which may in the end simply be a larger correction of the down trend, or it could be a resumption of the prior up trend that ended a few months ago.

 

So, below that upper trend line, I would favor lower prices, above that trend line, I would favor longs.

 

The fact that that is how I am looking at it currently does not mean that I am not completely wrong. But I have a buy stop at 1.3718, as I have been looking for lower US Dollar/higher Euro based upon my read of the daily price action.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

We have the break, but we also need the hold. At any rate, here is how it looks - long with a 1R risk and a 5R profit target. It does not matter what happens, as the worst case is a 1R loss, which is always my worst case scenario. If this trade is a loss, I simply wai for thre next one and keep taking my swings.

We now have the break, and with the pullback to test the BO tickling 1.3715 and then attaining a new high, we have the hold. Risk is now -4 ticks, which is approximately .2R (2/10ths of 1R). So the risk is now 4 ticks for a 100 tick profit target.

Another shallow pullback with a thrust to new highs means the shorts are trapped (and more are starting to feel it with each passing tick). Stop is now at +1R.

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
