Targets JG

This is a personal trade journal.
After a long journey initiated in 2005, I have developed many indicators, tweak systems, etc

Nothing has intrigued me more than two "systems" that I "developed" with unintended consequences.

My work has been fueled for the , now I know, futile chase of Trends, and doing that I came to establish target lines for the only instrument I use, Options. Specifically QQQ and SPY.

In checking both systems, I realized that they work for all the vehicles I tried.

It is beyond any doubt to me, that Markets are manipulated for the simple reason there is no randomness associated with price movements and the way those prices go for targets show in my systems. I believe this is good, not only as a trader, but for the whole economy... If prices were random (not manipulated), would there be order in the economy?... but I digress

The first system is a Daily Targets, the second are general ones and the targets last until they are taken out .

My intention with this journal is to show to myself examples of those with the hope of having new ideas to crack the mechanics of how this works rather than why

The Daily system SPY 29 May 2019
The white cloud in the middle is a S/R zone (I use Support and Resistance for lack of better names)
I expect some price gravitation around that or opposition to be breached either way.

Below them, the white lines are targets and again, I call then s1,s2, s3, etc (all the lines are white although they may look different in the picture)
Above you can see r1,r2,r3 etc

Sort of pivot points if you like.
The pink and green line are also a sort of "trade range" for the day... if breached, prices will go to s1 or r1 respectively.
Also if, for example s1 is breached, then expect that s2 will be tagged.

All these lines are of no consequences for the next day, that is, it will be a new set for the following day

As you can see, yesterday's price went to s2, while most of the time was in the borders of the white cloud and the pink line 5M chart

There is a red line at the bottom, I have seen this as an extreme down price, rarely tagged or breached

Here the ES futures, 5M, yesterday US market session

Here the GU pair, always during US market period 5M
Forgot to mention.. This system doesn't have ANY parameter, I don't modify anything.

This NVDA, nice example showing a stock with high volayility

The Second system, showing AAPL, has all the current targets.

The difference in color is according to the time frame the targets are generated, this is not important at the moment.
Just to say that AAPL has been eating (stop loss clouds of longs???) created in the up swing, at the same time is creating (stop loss clouds of shorts?)

So, AAPL if continues the downtrend will take an old target (from March, in the 4H) at 174.47 and/or in a pull back take the target 184.01 from May 23 in the 15M.

The point line at 180.63 denotes a target already taken (I will delete a target when is taken)

This is the EU 15M
Again, point lines are targets taken

This is BTC EUR see the closest target. 15M

BTC EUR, two upper targets taken, cool. 15M

Almost end of US session, BTC EUR, more targets taken and new one at 7878.
Leaving a limit order at target 7670

EU, new target created (long stop loss ?)

May 31 st

EU . As expected It was taken my target. the arrows indicate where I would have open and where closed (I don't do Forex, only option)

As you can see in the way to take the target a new target below has appeared (stop loss from longs??). What does that mean, that prices will revert to take them before taking the remaining targets above??

[point lines are always old targets already taken, they will be deleted]

May 31. BTC EUR

Prices moved to take the target below at 7670 and has been side ways creating-eating the targets with the point lines.
There are no targets in the vicinity so I'm expecting a brisk move soon

EU pair, taken another two targets

BTC-EUR
One target created and ate during the day. Also showing (thick lines) as per George system.

BTC-EUR 1 M

Notice how George's targets (as I understand them !!!, so I could be wrong) were precisely taken (green thick bars) at 7720-30 and 7780-90, and even further to my yellow target. The current lingering at that level has created a new target at 7836.83 that would be in the pressure zone (as I understand it) from George

15M yesterday and 1 M today

SPY 15M targets

GJ 15 M
