Exited just in time! The cycle was showing signs of inversion. Price was showing oscillator divergence as well so I was expecting some reaction to the upside and boy did it come and fast! whew! Glad I was paying attention. I was about ready to walk out the door for the evening.

Here's what the forecast looked like when I made it when I got home from hockey. The pullback ended up pretty dramatic compared to the forecast, but it was still accurate to the bar in terms of time. The forecast doesn't really gauge magnitude as much as it gauges time.

Notice how turns in the forecast in that forecast compared to the turns in the screenshot where I exited the shorts from the day before. The turns are pretty much in the same spot. Markets are cyclical and fractal.

That'll be a great edge in itself if it pops consistently. And it looks like it does thus far.

Yeah, overall, it does more or less. But this most recent is a good example of a pull back on the forecast that ended up being a pull back of just over 100%.

Pretty quiet thus far but right on target. Making good pips on pound, though. But no forecast for that pair. just pa.

Still slow going but right on target. I adjusted the scaling to emphasize the turns.

What a crappy day. No real movement at all. The forecast caught most of the bumps, as small as they were. Currently sitting on 20 pips. Not much to write home about. I'm gonna set the stop to b/e and head out for the night.

2nd half of yesterday was some serious inversion. For today's forecast, i took a stab to the short side and took a small loss. I the re-adjusted the phase and things are a better fit. I've got a small short on right now because price is right at an inversion point and PA is showing signs to the short side.

The forecast for GBPUSD has been pretty spot on.

Taking a stab at a cable short. Perfect squaring and a turn on the forecast.

Hi JR

As you know, I have been trying to find a method of squaring that is robust enough to be of use. I need to test the method further, but I thought that I would post this up for you to comment on if you want....

Whilst I am testing the method, everything is hand drawn and as you can see I do not have all of the divisions drawn...but I do like the number of hits. What do you think?

Looks good. And that's the thing.. it's not so much about finding some secret price/time squaring method as it is about finding a square that is in tune with price and time. All you want to see is price turning when it's expected so that you have confidence to bet the next turn. For every time frame I typically have 2-3 square measurements. And then focus on whichever one is picking the turns the best.

Euro 4 min. chart forecast for the week and then how it's played out so far. The low of the 27th came in pretty early. The rest of the turns look good although the magnitude of the forecast line makes things look a little askew. I adjusted them to that size to try and be more in scale with price.

GBPUSD 5 min chart for the day so far. Again, the first focus is the turns and not so much the magnitude. The forecast gives a general shape. On a good day price might hug the line to the T. Today it is sort of, but the shape's overall forecast is solid.
