Trading is the art of tricking stupid people out of their money. The purpose of manipulating price upward is to attract buyers. How many buyers are attracted on the move determines how long the manipulators will let the move run before they take profits and short the move back down to collect...

Of course not. Your supposed to enter into the price levels at the top or bottoming accumulation or distribution area in a move. The candle rules tell you how strong the move is... If it isn't moving fast enough probably a good idea to take profits off. If it's moving solidly in your favor hold...

One thing I need to work on for fun is a precision price level targeting system based upon momentum like quant funds have... Of course... They pull a lot of data off fund flows to calculate the core supply/demand levels of the market then use that data in combination with momentum and price...

Oh, and another neat thing... I managed to drop my confirmation indicator noise level way way down... So it shows the cycles perfectly cleanly. And it's still at one candle lag. Woot... :D Actually, it may lag less. Was going through my math and realized my data inputs could be far improved...

The number of acceptable odds daily trade setups the market averages per month is 3... The weekly trade setups are around 3 per six months. The monthly setups come around once a year... And the warren buffet buy-buy-buy crash events for investors to buy come around once every three to...

Yea right... Full tilt long into a Low conviction long like we got this week? Those are for the MC's and HC's... Honestly... That whole EU meeting thing was like Flip a coin. We could have broken either way there. The odds were up though. I may not update this swing journal very much...

That trade setup shot much higher than expected... It was a wildcard though with the EU meetings. My original call was perfect. We pulled back into Thursday. Then the wildcard news hit. Quoting one of my first posts: "If I get the proper technical signal and price level to put on this LC...

All my bridges burn down... Even the sun sets in paradiseee.... Er, sorry... Busy singing out loud... Don't like my threads then stay the hell out and stop being a little bitch. :D

This rally will take a breather next Tuesday, but I ain't shorting anything unless it rallies straight into next Friday. Probably not shorting anything until the daily rally cycle after this one completes actually. Merkel brought the bulls back!!! Hooray!!! :D

Those perfectly timed trades are very hard to do... But sometimes they can be managed here and there. I have had a few here and there where I managed to get a fill at the bid or ask without price going a single tick against me... You gotta be in front of the line at the proper exact price...

I know what happened... I got the first hourly/fifteen minute buy signal in days. Hah... No, but seriously... A lot of people were shorting today because of the negative news but the natural market motion was still sideways slightly upward. When the market gets toward close you find out...

Dual fives with my proprietary buy signals into close. I rest my case. ;) My main indicator btw has been in development for 2.5 years. Still tuning the formula slightly to this day.

As for patterns repeating... Look at a monthly chart... Same exact thing over and over. Dip, rally, dip rally, dip rally... Break range... Bigger dips, smaller rallies, bigger dips, smaller rallies... Reverse, repeat... Let me read you uneducated people in here a good quote. “there...

What were seeing here is how paranoid traders are in reality... Look at how shorts covered on the three afraid of a rally, then price pushed down to the five today. The number of sudden 3-1 and 5-1 Switches that exist in the market is statistically impossible. Basically, it's a proven fact...

All these different price patterns "Wedges, Head and Shoulders, Etc etc..." I pay zero attention to them. The price patterns are unimportant. The market has set targets and times for reaching them. The pattern it makes as it moves between different targets is unimportant. The price...

Your system must suck... LoL! I see the exact same daily technical setups 2-4 times per month, and identical weekly setups 3-6 times per year, and identical monthly setups 1-2 times per year...

I disagree. These are self-fullfilling prophecies. These patterns only exist in the market because of traders. So the timeframes they exist on reliably and repetitively are the ones the majority of traders are watching. I have managed to statistically prove this in backtesting. The time...

Ok, finally happy... It now shows the current count and the dual valid counts that often happen at sudden reversals at the numbers 3 and 5. This reduces the need to manually do candle counts or use gut instinct to solve them... Funky chess game we all play... Big giant money chess...

I added in a buying low violation rule but decided to ditch it... It created a single false count back in 2005. These events have happened like three times in the last fifteen years. Buying low violations without an engulfing reversal headfake... That is... It's where buyers come in at the...

Added in count continuation rule to skip non two candle engulf headfake reversals and do a count continuation on re-engulf. This matches the fundementals of market movement properly and my lower cyclic indicator. If the market doesn't pull below/above the previous two days on a one...
