Good work. I was hoping to add to my position during the 3rd wave but I felt like I might be getting over confident and stopped myself. I got 780 pips of that with my normal position size. One of my best plays yet. It's nice to have someone doing this with me now.

 

I opened a buy position (1/2 my normal position size) on the euro and set my stop 1.4240 and limit at 1.4580. I'm going to double my position size if we get a strong break of the 3rd wave trendline.

Here's a chart of a trendline from the terminus of wave 1 to terminus of wave 3. The parallel line from the terminus of wave 2 puts the end of wave 4 approximately 1.4580 early Thursday. I don't normally use this technique because I don't think it is very accurate but it matches with my other expectations so we'll see how it plays out.

TMT,

 

I was taking a look at € today...At the moment my prefered count is like this (seems to be in line with you ... I just need some more time to narrow down/confirm my retrace target)

 

Seeing as I don't have the stomach for taking a position for the correction and watching it go in and out of the money for the next week I'll post an alert on the chart when it breaks 14430 or 14240 to take another look.

 

If nothing else happens...speak after the holidays...have a good one

Good call. I was feeling less confident after the wave down the started at 0800 yesterday. It appeared to be 5 waves and I think it should have only been 3 if that is the triangle I was expecting. So I exited at a small profit this morning. I have a small short position with a tight stop and I have an long entry set at about 1.4380.

I meant to say ...great job on the 780pts...just looked at the € chart with the new low and I'm definitely going to have to wait for things to work themselves out before jumping in...Christmas with the family instead of having the cell receiving alerts all the time! :)

TMT,

 

I lied !:) - Took another look tonight...

... between 14395/14415

 

Got a 38% retracement on my count down from 14661

previous wave 4 level

162% of (a) off bottom of an expanded (b)

alternation of the corrections on my 5-wave c

plus a big figure

 

Left an order...not going to be there if it hits to check momentum but happy to take a 20pt punt for a 200pt swing

I knew you couldn't stay away lol! I bought in a normal position size this morning and then my entry order was triggered on the break of the trend channel so I have a large position with an average buy in of ~1.4268.

 

The reason why I entered this position is because I believe the entire wave (1) is complete. The last waves down have the look of 5th of 5th waves. I'm pretty sure 5th of 5th waves is the only time they do strange things like that. Also as we were both counting the waves before wave i (circle) of wave 3 was bigger than wave 1. I don't think a wave of an extension can ever be bigger than a wave of the higher degree so we were probably wrong and that was the entirety of wave 3.

 

I'm now planning on holding my long position until 1.4860 until further information is revealed.

Here is my current count and what I'm looking at for the beginning of next week. I think wave b (circle) is currently in progress but it will probably end fairly soon. I'm not currently in a position but I'm looking for the wave b (circle) to end at about 1.4250 - 1.4260 and I will stay long until I see a large 5 wave movement unfold.

 

I have also included a chart of an alternate interpretation that has wave b (circle) forming a triangle. This would mean the wave would more likely end at about 1.4220.

 

The correction is not over if this wave is wave 1. The only way it could be over is if it was wave iv (circle). I think this option has a pretty low probability.

Marketwavez,

 

Please post explanation and current market levels. What you have posted can be seen as predictive but when you post what everyone already knows has happened instead of your forecast it's not seen as genuine and I would prefer it wasn't in this thread.

marketwavez,

 

On your euro charts I've noticed that you have mixed degrees of waves on your count. The black and light gray numbers are mixed between two different degrees which has messed up your count for the blue numbers. Waves of smaller degree generally shouldn't be larger than waves of a larger degree.

 

In your midterm chart of the euro what makes you think this is an A wave when you take the entire trend in perspective? It looks like a 5 wave pattern following a 3 wave pattern to me. At best it would be an A wave of much larger degree but taking into account the previous wave it cannot be a 3rd wave.

 

Last thing I'm wondering how you got your target (1.4510) on your latest euro chart.

Marketwavez,

Please start your own thread and stop posting in this one since you won't provide explanation or answer criticism. I can only see your posts harming people interested in the wave principle. This thread is about sharing and learning from each other not seeing how many numbers you can fit on a chart or how fast you can post charts.

A 5 wave pattern has developed for a possibly complete wave c. It went up faster than I thought which makes me doubt it is the first wave of wave c but I'm still trading as if it was because RSI-7 on the daily chart is just above 50 and I think it should hit 70 before the resumption of the downtrend. I'll be watching this play out as I'm not completely confident in what I'm seeing.

    • I'm pretty sure that a Russian resident would say that recessions are real today. Their prime interest rate is 21%, their corporate military contractors are threatening to file bankruptcy, and sticks of butter are kept under lock and key in their grocery stores because shoplifters are stealing it in bulk so they can resell it on the black market. A downturn is cyclical until it turns into a collapse. I really don't think anyone will be buying-into this mess.😬
    • Well said. This principle is highly analogous to trading. Any human can easily click buy or sell when they "feel" that price is about to go up or down. The problem with feeling, commonly referred to as "instinctive" trading, is that it cannot be quantified. And because it cannot be quantified, it cannot be empirically tested. Instinctive trading has the lowest barrier to entry and therefore returns the lowest reward. As this is true for most things in life, this comes as no surprise. Unfortunately, the lowest barrier to entry is attractive to new traders for obvious reasons. This actually applied to me decades ago.🤭   It's only human nature to seek the highest amount of reward in exchange for the lowest amount of work. In fact, I often say that there is massive gray area between efficiency and laziness. Fortunately, losing for a living inspired me to investigate the work of Wall Street quants who refer to us as "fishfood" or "cannonfodder." Although I knew that we as retail traders cannot exploit execution rebates or queues like quants do, I learned that we can engage in automated scalp, swing, and trend trading. The thermonuclear caveat here, is that I had no idea how to write code (or program) trading algorithms. So I gravitated toward interface-based algorithm builders that required no coding knowledge (see human nature, aforementioned). In retrospect, I should never have traded code written by builder software because it's buggy and inefficient. However, my paid subscription to the builder software allowed me to view the underlying source code of the generated trading algo--which was written in MQL language. Due to a lack of customization in the builder software, I inevitably found myself editing the code. This led me to coding research which, in turn, led me to abandoning the builder software and coding custom algo's from scratch. Fast forward to the present, I can now code several trading strategies per day across 2 different platforms. Considering how inefficient manual backtesting is, coding is a huge advantage. When a new trading concept hits me, I can write the algo, backtest it, and optimize it within an hour or so--across multiple exchanges and symbols, and cycle through hundreds of different settings for each input. And then I get pages upon pages of performance metrics with the best settings pre-highlighted. Having said all of this, I am by no means an advanced programmer. IMHO, advanced programmers write API gateways, construct their own custom trading platforms, use high end computers with field programmable gateway array chips, and set up shop in close proximity to the exchanges. In any event, a considerable amount of work is required just to get toward the top of the "fishfood"/"cannonfodder" pool. Another advantage of coding is that it forces me to write trade entry and exit conditions (triggers) in black & white, thereby causing me to think microscopically about my precise trade trigger conditions. For example, I have to decide whether the algo should track the slope, angle, and level of each bar price and indicator to be used. Typing a hard number like 50 degrees of angle into code is a lot different than merely looking at a chart myself and saying, that's close enough.  Code doesn't acknowledge "maybe" nor "feelings." Either the math (code) works (is profitable) or doesn't work (is a loser). It doesn't get angry, sad, nor overly optimistic. And it can trade virtually 24 hours per day, 5 days per week. If you learn to code, you'll eventually reach a point where coding an algo that trades as you intended provides its own sense of accomplishment. Soon after, making money in the market merely becomes a side effect of your new job--coding. This is how I compete, at least for now, in this wide world of trading. I highly recommend it.
