...Friday...I began to envision a whole new configuration based on the recently birthed temporal baseline-support/resistance level focused version of the Numerical Price Prediction trading system. I feel like this new setup shows enough promise for me to begin experimenting with its use as soon as the market opens next week. Theoretically, there should be certain times when I enter positions and remain in them for days, yielding quite sizable payouts. This is brand new territory, so I don’t expect to be perfect right off the bat...it might be a week or two before I know how well this will actually work...if at all.
There’s no need to wait a week or two. I can already see the potential for this approach to be extremely effective:
In brief, the approach calls for trading in the same direction as the 36-, 12-,
*6-, 3-, and 2-day trend lines, opting to enter positions as the 4-, 8-, 16-, and 24-hour baselines reverse direction from moving AGAINST the more prevailing trends to traversing WITH them.
I had some thoughts about all this which I recorded on Sunday via Post #409 in my Duxon’s Archive thread, but a number of those views have since changed, as indicated below…
Though there
could be certain trades when there would be the option of remaining in particular positions for multiple days at a time, it’s not what I’m likely to do. The ebb and flow of price action simply does not recommend a buy-and-hold approach in my eyes.
In evaluating how to best ride such waves, I concluded that, for now at least, tracking pullbacks to 12-hour temporal support/resistance levels on 15-minute charts might be the best way to go.
As for my previous observations, my comment on Sunday about not being able to imagine where four-hour price range envelopes would fit in has now fallen by the wayside. Not only is this actually a very reliable measure in terms of discerning exactly where price is headed at the intraday level (as I already stated in relation to its corresponding baseline) contrary to my previous statement, it can also be extremely helpful in defining the full extent to which price can vary. All one needs do is plot a second set of bands at the outer boundary.
The eight-hour baseline continues to serve as the foundation on which the rest of the system is built, conveying the direction in which price is ultimately headed with the greatest amount of validity, but it may very well be that the sixteen-hour baseline is what confirms that a given currency pair has picked up a full head of steam following major trend reversals—with the forty- and seventy-minute baselines taking on special significance at the intraday level, and the twelve-day and thirty-six-day trends serving as key measures when moving up to position trading.
