    When is a support or resistance broken

    The question you asked in the OP is this: "The question I have is this: when do you regard a support (or resistance if you are looking to go short) is broken and give up on it and look for another opportunity away from the immediate market conditions." Recently a person posted a trendline...

    Do markets change? Trend Following.

    Most people who do analysis on equity curves do understand the relationship of the "signal" and the "financial management". They are parts of the same equation that represents the equity curve. Usually people use families of log curves as well. Check out some of those for more personal incite.

    When is a support or resistance broken

    In five years you may feel differently. Don't lock yourself into your present views just because you haven't worked through some things.

    When is a support or resistance broken

    yes the workarounds are the most fun.... Almost as much fun as getting providers to shape up their services. Have lens will travel.....LOL... When you look at the Stretch. squeeze in conjunction with the OTR on ES, you can pull about 3X the given interval range every 1 1/2 hours. There...

    When is a support or resistance broken

    The lower half of the pic contains 4 panes that are just "cheaters" for me. They and their time rate of change I use to do the carving. you posted about the 3 moves on the pattern you see. Each move can be used to bag profits or you can just trade the turns of each third move. rspectively...

    When is a support or resistance broken

    You see and handle the "3 moves". You figured out the 3 moves concept. In trend analysis the first 2 moves give you two legs that define a trend. Look elsewhere at Mr. Black's charts, he annotates the three points to show your two legs. Your third move is the move that ends the defined...

    When is a support or resistance broken

    Thank you very much for responding. I will post a chart that has some callouts on it but I have to work on the chart over in paint first. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from jack hershey: What if the third movement of price was "not"...

    Choppy versus Trending

    No, I do not. Market profile is probably the next step on the way out of Price Action trading, which is inductively based. I tried to state that not connecting a volume pane to an axis would be a good next move on the part of the platform providers. This is a difficult concept to handle...

    Do markets change? Trend Following.

    This is a library issue you raised. All platform librairies TN, Fidelity, etc, have spyder signature for ease of connecting them to the various forums. Elsewhere some coding issues came up. On my chart you can read the plunked signals if you can read a chart. They are plunked on the...

    Do markets change? Trend Following.

    Two super contributions, congrats: 1. differentiating trend following from trend analysis, and 2, defining the test for curve fitting and not curve fitting. I feel so strongly about how going the full route in analysis by drilling all the way down to the granularity built into a...

    When is a support or resistance broken

    The part of your ATS that is plunking BUY and SELL needs improvement. Indeed! as has been judged. You are getting fairly close as one of your paragraphs that describes an FTT indicates. Trending trumps the R or S values. So far you do not deal with the nesting of fractals. At the...

    Choppy versus Trending

    Trading R and S can be done consistently. Identifying R and S can be done precisely as well. Above you post the solution as well. Trend analysis trumps market range (S and R considerations) analysis. What makes trend analysis and all trading precise is the analysis of the leading...

    When is a support or resistance broken

    The title of the thread is a timing question that has an obvious answer. Many have given their views. If it were asked from a coding or programming viewpoint, then the logic diagrams, etc, would have been posted for any of the various approaches that do S and R Breakout trading. The...

    When is a support or resistance broken

    You are correct, absolutely correct, in coding the SCT or PVT or SSR, plunking a Buy or Sell on the chart is the LEAST difficult part. Probably, most any programmer could tell you this. Form the way the OP typed up his initial comment it looked like he wasn't to range trade between R and S...

    When is a support or resistance broken

    The market is a little counterintuitive. It sounds like you go short at resistance and you go long at support when price moves to either of those places. The values may be horizontal lines in your mind or annotated that way on your chart (Think of the many techniques that involve drawing...

    Choppy versus Trending

    This is just a brief comment of what jumped out at me from your response to the question. I do not share your views on how to take what is available and get a result that fits with the taxonomy box you picked. I found myself in the same box once the box was announced. My response is not...
