The beauty of simplicity to its truest form can save heartaches and sorrows

Highlights from the ART OF WAR ---


“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”


“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”

“So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.”

“He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.”

“The wise warrior avoids the battle.”

― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

I apologise if this seems silly question but on your eurusd as example - you are noting size of candle thrusts up and down - are you comparing distance travelled over time (eg 5 candles travelled x distance) for measure of strength/weakness and/or for targets eg next thrust could be similar to last (or not)?

I count candles (all the time) for sign of strength/weakness but am not confident in my analysis -I am trying to learn by doing TBH. I look at lots of candles hardly travelling anywhere compared to the last thrust that sort of stuff to indicate where strength is - although sometimes the more price stays in a direction in time can give indication that price may reverse that way - so not yet clear to me on my sort of inference from distance travelled over time - also you can get some pulses that go nowhere much just before it runs strong that direction. I am getting better at seeing new strength/weakness based on few very strong candles travelled further than any other run to show possible direction.

it is a good gift and advantage being strong observer...

trade with momentum and as we all know price won't run on straight lines there will be heaps of stalling, short bursts and hesitations of price as it gyrates... this is the nature of the market which we need to be aware of, particularly of its structures and forms. when price stalls after a quick burst doesn't mean it will reverse, most often than not it will continue to its current direction but more often market will trap positions/ traders.

market structure first then looking for zones where the highest probability orders are lying waiting to get filled - since we're deprive from it. looking for levels where best to test the market...

yes i am still reading bar by bar as i managing positions but still feeling price gyration is the best tool to be ahead... i am not counting bars as it will mutate at anytime, the reason that i need to be nimble at all times before i enter any position not only looking for best level of entry but also need to assess the risk and from there i can project my profitability...
