Locked-in Range Analysis (LRA)

{quote} If you invented the closest thing to the holy graill will you make it available to the public at a fee of $25 per month ?
You confuse the things. LRA method is free and is the cause-effect one among all types of analysis.

Do you know Trading Central? They make analysis based on simple technical analysis. Their cost starts from $1500 for individuals and $5000 per month for legal entities.

I suggest you go to the thread of technical analysis and tell everyone that technical analysis does not work because those who make the daily technical analysis do it on a fee basis!

How LRA explains to us an Impact of Fundamental Factors on Price

Fundamental factors influence the price by the fact that new positions are opened on their basis, based on which “news” movements occur.

Classification of fundamental factors in terms of their expectations:

1. Planned and expected factors are news on economic (macroeconomic indicators) or less often of political nature.
During the release of news with known release dates and times, the market maker has a “justified” opportunity for sharp price changes for distribution of the current and/or previously accumulated imbalance, as these movements will not attract the attention of the CFTC.

2. Random and unexpected factors are political phenomena and events (wars, terrorist attacks) and events of natural origin (cataclysms, natural disasters).
With a long factor life cycle (from several weeks to several years), the market maker can change the ratio of limit orders to maintain liquidity so as not to incur financial losses.

Example: Hostilities have begun in the country ‘X’, and market participants are actively selling national currency futures. It is also not profitable for the market maker to own (after expiration) this currency at the current price, therefore, he will continue to accumulate Buy orders in full, but to accumulate less Sell orders volume than (or equal to) his available accumulated Buy orders.

Thanks. I trade planned events too so now this is getting interesting....

"he will continue to accumulate Buy orders in full, but to accumulate less Sell orders volume than (or equal to) his available accumulated Buy orders."

In a one side market where everyone is selling, MM is forced to buy. I get that but want to understand for how long MM can keep buying? How do they manage risk exposure not to bankcrupt themselves. Is there a coordinated effort across MM to arrange some selling to offset risk and entice buyers to come into the market. Why and how do instances spikes offer outside of the order flow via stop hunts, liquidity crunch reasons.

And more importantly, would you agree that one cannot trade fundamental events just by looking at one chart on one instrument. Example: If you trade Oil, you have to look at USD strength coorelations to minimize the effects of price manipulation by MMs. Same in spot, if AUD news is coming out, you have to analyse both USD strength, AUD strength and the force of movements across ALL AUD pairs and crosses to ensure the move is truly driven by fundamentals and market sentiment.

Again, I only want to personally focus on Market Makers and not market participants or traders or price setups or ranges or breakouts or bounces...none of that. Pure exposure management techniques used by MM. If this is understand, a similar strategy could be employed which will test the length of time in future. Just my POV.
Staying in my lane...

I think you should learn LRA method to continue talk here because all your questions are answered by LRA. The book is short and you can read it for 1-2 Hours.

Answering your question above LRA means marker makers accumulate all positions in the futures market. All! No limits.
That is why we can analyze the market such cause-effect methods like LRA.

Influence of trading session on the price formation of CME Group futures:

The price varies between the locked open buy and sell positions, where the volume and direction of open positions are crucial. As a rule, the main source of new open positions during the trading day are trading sessions descending from high to low traded volume. Significant price movements (going beyond the TPSL levels) at sessions with low influence on the formation of prices occur based on or taking into account and not contradicting the prevailing open positions during sessions with higher influence.

Trading Session

Trading session means the most active (due to the time difference, or time zone) trading time in a particular region of the world. This is the period when macroeconomic indicators are released and dignitaries of the countries make official statements.

Focusing on price behavior during a session with low influence and correctly estimating the imbalance of the locked-in range, you can join the the most profitable price movement scenario for the market maker.

Support LR is the locked-in range in which the volume of open sell positions prevails, and it is profitable for the market maker to quote prices above the range.

Post trade analysis does not cut anymore cos traders now are better informed and not easily taken in by 20/20 after the fact analysis. Got to come out with something at least like live trade calls to prove what you really are or not.

It was real Live Time analysis by Tom Leksey (the creator of LRA). I just show you how LRA works because you need to analyze by yourself.
This thread is not real time analysis, but about the basis of analysis.

Try to understand LRA and you will be the greatest fun of this method. And you can not imagine how you have not used LRA before. You will always read the market as an open book and take maximum opportunities from it .

Moreover you will analyze the marker by Yourself which is very important for every trader!
