Trading Secrets :)

Quote from sgsaxton:
Ok I think I see your point. In other posts of yours, you've repeatedly alluded to "gyrations" which, from what I can tell, are price oscillations from an extreme to an extreme through some sort of 'mean'. If I understand you correctly, you're saying that, so long at the price moves sufficiently to an extreme, its worth trading regardless because these moves will be missed if one waits for some sort of trend confirmation.

Gyrations are no more than the days upmoves and downmoves. I would count the YM yesterday as 5 and half gyrations .. up, down, up, down, etc (one up/down or one down/up being treated as a gyration). The number of gyrations which show to you, depends on the charts/bars you are using .. less if slower half hour bars or say more if faster five minute bars apart from using other choices such as range, tick or volume bars of faster or slower 'sizes'.

there is one thing and one thing only that moves price

an inbalance in supply and demand

period

trends are just a way to model periods in time where demand outstrips supply. over time

these are just models. asking if trends exist? of course they do. but it's merely a model of past action

the majority of the time, markets are not trending vertically, they are trending horizontally, to paraphrase market profile terminology.


that's how i see it :)

So if there is an obvious trend in place, do you then only trade from one side?

Those lines are created in real-time by an automated program. The program was created based on objective parameters and is strictly rules based. See what happens when "we speak of things which we have no knowledge of". Appendages fly up and get stuck in orifices.

PL, your zig zag lines appear to be based upon a % change in price.
Is this correct?

no, those oscillations are based on specific range parameters at both extreme and minor levels. Those green line oscillations on price are the extreme oscillations for trade entries. The lines on the indicator verify and confirm Primary Trend. The minor oscillations are trading opportunities in-between Primes.
