Thanks Db and good call dismorning on the weakness in price action.

 

You're welcome, but I wouldn't term it a "call" in the sense of prediction. As price accelerates to the upside and angle of ascent increases, sellers have more and more difficulty finding buyers. That's why at any given price point there are so few trades. At some level, the "supply" of buyers just runs out and there aren't any more, and price returns toward the bottom of the trend channel, maybe a little higher than the bottom, maybe a little lower. It's all a part of mean reversion, though it has nothing to do with indicators. Mean reversion is what it is because sellers run out of buyers and buyers run out of sellers, so everybody turns their attention to those zones where the bulk of trades are being or have been made, which is usually the mean.

I am kind upset at myself, I spent so much time months ago learning this indicator stuff, when I think my way of thinking correlates to what I been reading on this forum lately. buyers and sellers and interest locations. I have a lot to learn.

 

Db, does your book explain this with examples?

Many people spend years with indicators, so you're not alone. But this thread really isn't the place for that. As for examples, there are many times more examples available in various threads than would be possible in any book. If you're interested in the Wyckoff Forum, ask whatever questions you may have there in order to keep this thread on-topic.

long 1413, target 1417.75, stop 1411

 

Reason: overhead trendline just broke and retraced. trend is up of overall market,

 

I move to stop to breakeven and will let it run. So, far price action is holding up a demand line since dis-morning.

What demand line are you referring to? Today's was broken several hours ago. Not that that's a requirement for exiting. Just don't hold on for the wrong reason.

Here is what I see below. I do recall a demand line broken earlier, but i redrew this about 2.5 hours ago to keep me in the trade.

I hope you guys examine your emotional responses and your trading plans today (not necessarily here and not necessarily in public). They seem to be tangled.

 

Db

 

Can you be a little more vague?

 

Tangled with...?

And it fails.

 

Too bad we don't have a chat room anymore.

 

Db

 

That would be marvelous having a chat room.

 

I need to get in tune with the NQ as I do with the ES. The reason I don't trade NQ is because i feel I am not put the time in analyzing the chart, but its something I need to do. Cause NQ has a good range today, and it was a bit easier to trade dis morning from good support at 2790 I see.

 

On the ES, there was good support at 1417, but I started the computer a bit late, and got left behind. Lets see how far it wants to go. 1420 looks like good resistance that just broke.

When you entered, the trend was down. And where is the "trendline for additional support"? Trendlines don't provide support.

      The main goal of this thread is to show what Power Trades is and how it works in different markets. We will show some patterns on the ES and NQ futures, as well as discuss possible improvements to this functionality.
      What is Power Trades?
      Ok, first we will consider what the Power Trades is and how it finds zones.
      Power Trades shows the zones with the execution of a large number of orders in a very short time, which will affect the price change with a high probability.
      Here are a few examples of how it looks like


      How it finds zones?
      There is a continuous process of placing, changing and executing orders in the market. All this affects the price change and the expectations of traders regarding the future price.
      When a large order appears at a certain level, the price is more likely to come to this order and it will be executed because the market is always looking for levels with liquidity. This already applies to the order flow and the mechanics of orders matching, so we will omit the principles on which the orders are matched.
      It is only important to understand that "abnormal events" occur in the market at certain times. Execution of a significant volume of orders in a very short time is one of such events.
      The Power Trades Scanner has several important settings that directly affect the results:

      Total Volume — the minimum value of the volume that should be traded during the specified time interval
      Time Interval, sec — the time over which the Total Volume should be traded
      Basis Volume Interval, sec — this parameter shows how much % took the traded volume in the total volume for the specified time.
      Zone Height, ticks — this parameter will show only those zones where the height is less than or equal to the specified value (in ticks).
      Level2 level count — the number of levels that are involved in the calculation of Imbalance and the Level 2 Ratio column in the table of results.
      Filter by Delta,% — the parameter will show zones that have a delta value greater than or equal to that specified in the setting. The value must be specified by the module, so the table will show both positive and negative delta values. We recommend paying attention to the zones with the delta above 50% (taking into account the specifics of each trading instrument).
      For example, let's set the Total Volume of 2000 contracts and Time Interval in 3 seconds on the E-mini SP500 futures. This means that the scan will be based on the available history and will show on the chart only those zones that have such a volume for the specified time.

      Additionally, it is worth to set a delta value to filter out the zones with one-side trades. The more delta value, the high probability that the price will reverse.

      So, as a starting point about this scanner, I think this information will be enough

      Hi everyone,
      This is my maiden analysis using volume profile - so please don't hesitate to share your feedback.
      As per the attached analysis, I think that SPY is primed for a short - for many reasons
      - Multiple strong rejection of long positions exist at Resistance R1 and R2 : seems like sellers defending their positions
      - Very strong short volume seen at R2 : further signifying sellers who are ready at that level
      However, once the price reaches Support S1, there seems to be a strong buying sentiment which has rejected previous shorts. You can see trading ranges & pullbacks to S1 where buyers and sellers seem to agree on a price range, often leading to a buyer dominance.
      What do you think?

    • MDB MongoDB stock watch for a range breakout at https://stockconsultant.com/?MDB
    • Date: 12th November 2024. Market Buzz: Trump Trade Impact! “Trump trade” has boosted the US Dollar and US stocks, but Trump’s policies may have less favorable effects on global assets. Trump’s plan to raise tariffs is expected to negatively impact economies worldwide, especially exporters like China. Asia & European Sessions:   Bitcoin Surge! Bitcoin broke $90K, driven by Trump trade once again. Bitcoin is up roughly 110% in 2024, helped by robust demand for dedicated US ETFs, interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and Trump’s cryptofriendly agenda. Crypto market capitalization has exceeded its pandemic-era peak, reaching $3.1 trillion. Traders are betting on Bitcoin reaching $100,000 by year-end, according to data from the Deribit exchange. Open interest — or outstanding contracts — for CME Group Inc. futures for Bitcoin and second-ranked Ether (ETHUSD) scaled records on Monday, a sign of growing engagement by US institutional investors. Asian shares dropped, alongside European and US equity futures, as traders evaluated the implications of President-elect Donald Trump’s policy agenda and potential cabinet choices. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell for a third consecutive day, driven by rising Treasury yields amid concerns that Trump’s proposed tax cuts could increase inflation. There are also reports that Trump is considering two individuals for prominent roles in his administration with track records of criticizing China. DAX and FTSE100 are down -1.1% and -0.5% respectively, after a pickup in German HICP inflation and higher than expected UK wage growth dampened easing expectations. Investors await the US CPI report for insights into the Fed’s easing path, as Trump’s inflationary policies may lead to fewer rate cuts. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex continues to rise and is currently at 105.75. It hit a 1-year high. EURUSD drifts to 1.0620 and GBPUSD is in a sell off, currently at 1.2800. Oil prices fell after their biggest 2-week decline, amid a weak demand outlook from China, a stronger US Dollar, and concerns over a potential oversupply. Crude oil has traded within a narrow range since mid-last month, influenced by Middle East tensions, the US election, and OPEC+ output decisions. Gold remains under pressure and is currently at just $2604.36 per ounce. It hit a one-month low, down 5% since Trump’s election victory, as a strong dollar and US equity rotation pressured the metal. Gold’s decline was also technical, breaking below the 50-day moving average, causing funds to cover long positions. Despite recent drops, gold remains up 25% for the year, supported by central bank purchases and geopolitical risks. Always trade with strict risk management.
