Sam Seiden-Understanding The Exact Process Behind The Movement In Price

Recommended Posts

I watched Sam Seiden's latest video on FxStreet "" Trading and Analysis". The guy was pretty much wrong in all the levels that he picked out. This shows how inaccurate his method can be. I guess it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't :rofl:

The original article of the OP does not allow logged in users to view without a premium membership. Not sure if the video is available elsewhere.

 

Here is the unfortunate problem. I've become cynical and skeptical about subscribing to trading services and products. Now I have an emotional and psychological block that I just can't overcome. It's about trust. So even though I don't doubt the value of the product, I won't subscribe to it.

 

It is good that you are a skeptic. You never fully know if what someone says comes from the heart or is another story. But if you think that a product has merit, then sign up. The worst that can happen is that the product does not meet your expectations. Then you just lost a month. You have to take some risks in this business; that is unavoidable.

Hi

 

Can someone explain what is meant by the demand/supply being high or low on the curve?

 

I understand this is also one of the odd enhancers but don't understand how it works.

 

A chart would be appreciated

 

Thanks

Hi Robinhd.

 

It means "where are you on the larger timeframe" Are you closer to a higher timeframe Supply or are you closer to Higher timeframe demand?

Good stuff Spidey:)

It's almost same stuff as odd enhancers that we got in XLT.Theory is on spot,difference is just in how spreadsheet look like.It wouldn't feel right for me to post original one which i got from OTA because of other XLT colleagues.Those that you have attached are fine to use.

But with time you can throw this out of window.Low risk-high reward trades start to poke you in the eyes.

 

Hello VTK

Will you please (if possible) elaborate little more on big picture with the help of charts(small and big time frames) Thanks for sharing views very informative and almost coming from horses mouth as you attended his XLT class

Here is a video that changed mine whole view on trading.It made a one trick pony out of me when it comes to trading:)

Sam is tha man when it comes to simplicity and reality of markets and i am lucky that i had chance to learn from him and other instructors.

Hope it will help some one as it have helped me!

Well.let's be fair and realistic here.There is no method that works 100% of the time.But if we're being realistic we need to go much further and state that every single method being employed by the people on this forum has no intrinsic edge whatsoever..none (naturally i include myself in that category)

In trading the most effective method you can employ is to cheat and lie and steal.Unfortunately you need to have the right connections for this to be a viable long term career path.Anyone who tells you different is either deluded or lying.My theory on why so many fail at this is because they spend far too long believing that there are methods out there that have an intrinsic edge,hence the years of frustration and disappointment.

I know almost nothing about Sam's method beyond watching one video on youtube and reading the odd post here.

From what i have picked up it is the usual story.A guy who worked inside the industry has some secrets to tell us about how you might go about predicting the future.

I can't find the relative post and it wasn't from the horses' mouth,but i seem to remember something along the lines of "when the last sell orders came in.only then would price go up".Unless Sam's broker was the only one handling the entire order this leaves me a bit confused.

The other thing i picked up was something about "the more times a price level is tested,then the weaker it is"I think i've heard that theory elsewhere also. Well as the chart below shows that is just a lottery and so we need to quantify that a bit more and apply some other criterion,tick a few boxes to improve the odds,check a few different time frames.I'm sure there's a few more nuts and bolts you need to fit in order to make another guys' trading method work for you- and that right there is your biggest problem- it's someone else's method.

I'm also confused about how a market comes to a complete standstill during trading hours because of a 'price agreement'

But i have no agenda against Sam,well,no more than the next guru.And it's not my intention to disrupt the thread.

If Sam's methods gives you a few pointers to help develop your own game,that is all to the good.Don't expect too much more than that.Because for every guy that swears by Sam's method there's another bunch of guys that swear by another method and that alone should tell you something.And very few of any of these guys will be multi-millionaires- no matter how many 'students' the gurus claim to have successfully taught.

 

Hi Mitsubishi,

 

I thought i'd borrow your chart example and put some levels on there where you could have taken some nice trades.

People take the charts at face value, for that they look at the candles, for that they look at the orders that have already been filled, for that they take trades in the direction where price has already been filling orders, and what do most traders do? they put indicators on price candles that give an opposite view of what you should be looking for.

I travel alot..mexico..guatemala..belize..honduras..el salvador...etc. I take an Ipad buy a local chip i.e. a cell tel chip which i put in the Ipad and add some time. Log onto internet with Ipad ..make Ipad a hotspot..crank up my laptop(since my trading platforms are on laptop) select the Ipad as my internet connection and presto i have internet for trading. Works good enough for me especially if near the larger cities or towns.

    • 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.
