Wish I’d seen this video 10 years ago.
Price action. Supply / Demand.
Weak Rally + Strong Reaction -> Sell
Strong Rally + Weak Reaction -> Buy
Takes time to tell where a leg begins then ends but it becomes easier with practice and common sense.
Heard once … The low isn’t set until we make a new high, which is true in the absolute, but we as degenerate Gamblers can’t make money without some speculation.
I like the analogy at the beginning with the race track. Sometimes it’s best to settle for a lower but safer outcome.
As a daytrader … I think it’s best to settle for 1 point per day at the beginning then settle for more as you progress.
Step by step.
Don’t step aside of your confort zone with real money. Don’t try to be a hero. Small compounds more for longer than Rich Quick.
It’s better to settle for 1 point and know when to let the trade run than to settle for 10 points and not knowing when to cut the trade short.
20 ES points per month is 1000$ per contract.
The reaction is more important than the action itself. Don’t simply buy because the price has sone X. Buy because it has done Y knowing X.
Livermore would simply use a 6 points deviation away from the highest / lowest local point in order to establish a price reversal.
Many ways to read price actions.
We’re not trying to catch tops and bottoms but some kind of reversals with asymmetric reward to risk towards the grand scheme of things.
Some kind of V reversals happening around logical areas.
