He also bought the low a few hours back for a nice move from 2931
I had 31.25 based on the triple low subtract from the Globex double bottom as shown on the chart, your guy likely used the fibs again and possibly picked his trade entry based on that same double bottom, imo.
I can't make this stuff up
@glazier ... I'd bet your buddy is doing either exactly what I do or he is using the fibs or both (likely both) ... I'm not a fib guy but I have said I am aware of them because even if the brilliant ET quants don't believe in them,
The Money does ... how else do you think Goldman can go all year without hardly a down day - do you really think those guys are that smart lol. But here's the thing - they want the world to believe there is some super secret model that only they have access to. Maybe in options, maybe in exotics, but simple long/short directional plays - uh uh.
I have my fib tool built as it is precisely because these moves are so common - like, every day common. I even showed a chart earlier to show the HWB and if you look, you will see that fib tool configured just as I have it here.
You want to trade like your guru buy Halsey's book. The charts suck but it will give you enough to figure it out on your own. For the record, I am not Halsey.
but if he's as consistently good as it seems, i'd wager he's using neither
There is no magic ... price action, halfway backs, symmetrical tests, and if you still need training wheels, the fibs. Those who are precise with their entries don't know anymore than anyone else ... we simply believe in what we know.
