Learning to read Price Action with P&F Charting

cable
gbpusd
10 min data
3 downtrend waves.the last one may not be complete
eyes on that res area at 1.5540 for non farm payrolls on friday
that res area will move down if price continues down

dax
daily data
no reason to go long as yet
there will be bounces
need to see that downtrend line taken out.if there is a reaction point.ie a correction of this down move we can draw another internal trendline that gets nearer the price action

Quote from dentist007:

actually...checked back
last 6 months 80% plus
not 90% as i thought
but...you have to think about the fear and greed factor and this can give you many more points sometimes.so there are alot of factors to consider
it is not a system,just a method of charting data

Hi Dentist, still around, nice work you are doing!
I can agree that the probabilities for the entries are very high and you can use very very short stops! And it is the only technique I know that keeps you out whipsaws, something traders are often complaining about.
Some patterns have very high probabilities and some have a little smaller probabilities. And you need to know under what conditions a pattern will work and when not. PnF is no holy grail but it can help you a lot. But the most difficult part of all is keeping your emotions in control!

I use PnF for daytrading futures and I'm happy doing it. I use only tick charts, I'm not that big of a fan of minute charts because I will only know after a minute if you should have stepped in or not and your good entry point that PnF gives you can be gone what means higher risc because your entry moves up and your stop keeps at the same place. Same thing to your stop, after a minute you would know if you should have got out of it or not!
 
hi emotions
good to hear from you
we are sinking here in the uk....
our economy exports quite alot to the eurozone...so people running scared now.hence europe watch is more important now
anyway,we shall forget all our troubles for a few days.we have the diamond jubilee celebrations here so people in a party mood

back to business
s&p 500
people calling out levels for support to come in
we do things differently with p/f
we watch the trend..when the downtrend line gets taken out,then we say that support has come in
here is the spx/hourly
watch the purple trendline

update to that hourly spx chart
we had a reaction point .so now we can place more trendlines nearer the price action.these are the green trendlines.there is the more inetnse downtrend by the first downtrend line.this was drawn connecting the right hand side of the semi=catapult.this is a very intense trend and probably will weaken.the other is the 45 degree trend..the thicker green line

How can I have P&F tick charts in QT . Do I have to go to another charting software. Looks very interesting idea. Thanks
 
hi osho
qt is great....but 2 problems
1.hilo method is only available...not close
2. 1 box reversal is not calculated properly..if you are going to trade then you need 1 box reversal
the only charting package that does all this and is cheap is bullseye..tradestaion has decent p/f also

spx..5 min
a very intense uptrend.this will rerace..these intense trends cannot be maintained for long
