  1. An Aussie walks into a pub and takes a seat next to a very

    attractive woman.. He gives her a quick glance then casually

    looks at his watch for a moment..

     

    The woman notices this and asks, 'Is your date running

    late?' 'No', he replies, 'I just got this state-of the-art

    watch, and I was just testing it. 'The intrigued woman says,

    'a state-of-the-art watch?' 'What's so special about it?'

    The Aussie explains, 'It uses alpha waves to talk to me

    telepathically.' The lady says, 'What's it telling you now?'

     

    Well, it says you're not wearing any panties.'

    The woman giggles and replies

    'Well it must be broken because I am wearing panties!'

     

    The Aussie smiles, taps his watch and says,

    'Bloody thing's an hour fast!'

     

    For a watch like this one, this is a true story :D

  2. Read "Master The Markets" by Tom Williams, "Trades About To Happen" by David Weis, watch Dr. Gary Courses (which is an amalgamation of the books mentioned) that you will learn how read the chart properly then using the HLC bars, volume and structure, there is nothing more to it. Understand the concept of the climactic action which is the main trap people fall for, strength comes in down bars of very high volume (usually bad news in media) and weakness comes in up bars with high volume (usually with good news in media). The springs/upthrusts and shakeouts are traps too, you gotta learn how to identify those. When you jump the gun you get trapped, don't bite the bait. You have to practice and master to pull the trigger at the low volume tests of those high volume bars (which are the anchor points of support and resistance lines) You know that when price touch those levels with low volume, it cannot keep going if in a previous touch it had more volume and bounced, there is no logic. If price breaks you also know it is suspicious, probably a trap, then it reverses closing firm forming a spring or upthrust. This is all chart reading skill, practice.

     

    If had to add one more book would be "The Secret Science of Price and Volume" by Tim Ord.

     

    Seriously, only after reading those books I finally understood what was going on and was able to read the charts properly.

     

    logicgate, thanks a lot for your insights! Appreciate them very much.

     

    I'd like to ask if you know a book or course where we can see the same principles, but on the orderbook, or the volume profile?

     

    For example, if we have on the chart a big spread bar, with big volume, closing in the bottom. It seems the sellers are in control, supply hit the market. But how it developed on the OB? Would be important to understand also the mechanism of how that bar has developed? Say, first the price rallied up, then Market makers filled the gaps with buy orders. Then on the top, traders started to sell, to take profits. As there were not enough buy orders, price started to dip, etc..

     

    Dunno if I could explain well my doubt. I'd like to understand the movements behind the price action, the mechanism, the story behind the bar and volume, if that would be important anyway to learn PA better.

  3. hola kunaraj11 Thanks you

    can anyone that has said thanks

    please explain how to make work? I ask cause guess if you say thanks it worked for you, but not me so please tell how to make work.

    TIA

     

    I think you need to install the .exe file, then, replace the 2 .jar files in the installation folder. That is, in

    c:\Program Files\MotiveWave\lib\MotiveWave.jar

    c:\Program Files\MotiveWave\lib\httpclient.jar

     

    Now you can run the program normally. Note that the path above may change in your PC.

  4. That's a common technical analysis strategy, based on trend movements, a.k.a., range contraction/expansion or volatility breakout.

     

    The basic formula is:

    a) Descending patterns break to the upside, and ascending patterns break to the downside.

     

    b) An Uptrend will eventually break out by printing some combination of Lower Highs and Lower Lows, and a Downtrend will break out with a combination of Higher Lows and Higher Highs.

     

    Thanks, gadfly, for your reply. Do you think is it a new method per se, or we can find similar ideas in other courses available here (just like ICT and Steve Mauro courses are similar, or like Feibel & Gary Dayton as well)? Asking this question just to understand the concepts in other courses around.

  5. I don't agree with you tx42, I don't think that methods lose their validity over time, if that was the case then Wyckoff methods of analysis and trading wouldn't work... And this is something that repeats over and over again, everyday it is there, the setups...

     

    And you can see that VSA is based on that. I think that the more people are doing the same thing, the more it works. It takes thousands or millions of

    traders doing the same thing at the same time for the price to bounce of those classic levels, or some group of traders with extremely deep pockets.

     

    It is impossible for you to "discover" a method that only you know, it wouldn't work. Do you think that a couple of lots or contracts that you buy

    at a certain level that is your "secret method" are responsible for the price moving from there? Of course not...

     

    I understand what you say, and I agree in many points. What I meant is that a profitable strategy may not work exactly in future, it needs to be changed, updated, as time passes.

     

    This interview deals with this idea, in some ways https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnnavin/2016/12/31/why-some-technical-analysis-may-no-longer-be-effective-an-interview-with-michael-harris/#22b290cb4733

  6. From the suggestions above... I only can conclude that there isnt only One Path to profitability trading.

     

    Absolutely true. It that was the case, everyone would follow this one path, and then, someone (market makers, smart money) would just antecipate himself and couter-trade the triggering signal. For that reason, all methods, strategies also lose it's validity over time.
