Price action at the core / tma intra day

Hi

I wouldn't say that I hadn't studied price movement on every time frame.
Price is the same on all time frames, just the display of candles will be different.

Thank you for the charts, showing the highs and lows.
Until George popped along, I hadn't looked at a chart for a very long time.

I used an EA that I had built to take data from the COT Report, send to excel and number crunch. The issue...out of date data. Workable. Just ask my trading buddy Dave. We spent a long time with that. Prior to that was basket trading using T101's method.


My most successful EA was built based on a cut down version of the standard Basket 14 pairs from T101 group which you may be familiar with.
Using 10 pairs Hedged with a JPY bias and monitoring price movement there comes a time when the USD and JPY groups sync up and required a manual start.
From there, with the correct timing of entry and 10 x 0.01 feeler trades running, the fastest moving pair could be found and traded ''trend following''...this worked very well.
The original 0.01 trades would also cycle loss profit loss but that's a completely different method to Georges and not for this thread.
I have already seen the potential from monitoring Georges TMA in conjunction with the Hedge 10 pairs and now that i am completely relaxed with my manual trading I will investigate once again the Hedged 10 pairs.

Hi Guys please see whats happened on GBPJPY in only a year. From PT1 to 12 they all follow on.
Its a constant process in every time frame.

They are constantly playing the game.

Setting up short term longs and shorts only to be stopped out of the longs and shorts. Then they are setting up long term positions at major swing highs and lows. bouncing off them once or twice only to smash through them. This is whty its so important to know all the time frames.

Hope this helps, Lets play the game to our advantage. please see my last two posts that lead on from this post.

The short term Trades price will stop out longs and shorts. In a month long term shorts will be set up and left un touched then a month or two down the line they start ripping through them! Its the same patterns. Big move up to take out stops out of the bands and back in again.

Any time frame. The more they consolidate the price the more they suck you all in.

George Is a God of Trading believe me.

The MM doesnt just create a high or low for fun. Think about it. They are always making money.

Retail traders every few days/ daily. Hedge funds and banks monthly and quarterly on a huge scale. Why because we average a holding time of 30 min-2 days.
Hedge funds and banks can hold positions from a week to a year.

Thanks so much Kevin ;-) Every day all weekend 15 hours + per day im reading learning, studying and hopefully with all your help I can make it.
I will be sticking around ;-) Thanks Kevin maybe we can chat more on Skype sometime

PS I see your BIO trading and travelling. This is the key reason Why I want to make it as thats my goal to be financially stable enough and flexible to do this.
I feel you have to have a goal be positive and push yourself for it.

Believing is achieving ;-)

Ill be in Debt to George and you all until I die!

Now I have systems running at 90% with George methodology. George is correct, market is rigged. Throw away fundamental analysis and burn those trading books.

Amazing work Daniel !!!!!

You have absolutely nailed it !!! Wow

your charts should serve a lesson to all.....

This is exactly how george andy myself look at the market......

I am blown away honestly...

Now you are proof that it can be done

trading is not for lazy people that want something just good enough....

I would suggest that ALL TRADERS STUDY WHAT DANIEL HAS PUBLISHED......

Combined with TARGETS TARGETS TARGETS...and with what Angelo recently published read think and apply

And you begin to have the foundation for an incredible trading methodolgy..

Chat soon I am sure.....

Cheers

Kevin

Hello Daniel,

thx for your great posts! We don't know where the MM is going until it shows his hand.

What I am struggling with is targets, not that I cannot identify them but which ones are real. For example when it's down to a 1H set up and then the MM goes to the 4H targets (eg a grinding day) is what leaves my confused.

I am referring to the behaviour of the GBPJPY on Friday for example. Anyone has any heads up on this or is it just a matter of getting a good entry on the 1H and getting a few pips as per the chain and one dollar bill? Or am I getting everything wrong?

cheers

Diego

The is the reason watching and learning with GBPJPY is so important to me.

Much appreciated Angelo ,,,
Sorry to bother u with that ,,

Cheers
George

Awesome work Daniel. You are definitely reading the market on a whole other level.

All the best of success to you when you start taking trades, in case you haven't started taking any yet.

Cheers
Anthony

Hey hey hey Nik ,,,
Great point you have brought forward ,,

Yes absolutely ,,,
The DOLLAR NOTE and the CHAIN are of most importance ,,,
They will be discussed in detail i the next podcast

It is a very very important podcast for many of the traders who ,,,
Have nOT been able to establish a FOCUS to their trading Journey ,,,

Anyway sir ,,
here is an example of how George would approach this market ,,,
The market comes into the 1 mnt pressure zone ,,
There are always great trading opportunities trading the pressure zone for the trained trader ,,,
The chart is SELF EXPLANATORY,,,

Hope you like sir ,,

Cheers
George

TMA TRADING



THE 3RD ANCHOR


MECHANICS AND APPLICATIONS

========================================================

Let us lay down some FOUNDATIONS here before we go into the applications ,,,


TARGETS ,,, TARGETS ,,, TARGETS ! ! ! !

THEY ARE THE FOUNDATION TO GEORGE'S THEORIES ! ! ! ! !

TARGETS ARE ,,,,,

THE VERY REASON FOR PRICE MOVEMENT UP AND DOWN ! ! ! !

=====================================================================================

Here is step by step breakdown ,,, to how George applies the TMA's ,,,, to his 1 mnt charts ,,,,,

BUT ,,
FIRSTLY let us recap the ,,,
STYLE OF TRADING GEORGE DOES ,,,, BECAUSE
IT IS THE REASON WHY GEORGE PUTS THINGS IN THE PERSPECTIVE HE DOES ! ! ! !

GEORGE IS AN INTRA DAY TRADER ,,, BY CHOICE ,,,,
GEORGE ,, ONLY ,,, TRADES THE ,,, EXTREMES OF PRICE SWINGS ,,,, ON AN INTRA DAY LEVEL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The TMA's are applied as follows ,,,

WHEN THE MARKET REACHES OR TAKES OUT A TARGET ,,,,
ON THE 15MNT ,,, H1 ,,, OR H4 ,,, OR DAILY CHARTS ,,,
GEORGE LOOKS FOR THE ,,,, PRICE ,,,, TO BE IN THE ,,,, TMA PRESSURE ZONE ,,,
ON THE 1 MINUTE CHART ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT

=================================================================================

The TMA's are ONLY ,,,, a VISUAL DISPLAY ,,,,, of PRICE ACTION ,,,, when it has been EXTENDED into pressure areas ,,,, BY CHOICE ,,,, by the MM ! ! ! !

The TMA is very very notorious ,, and accurate ,,,, in detecting price ,,,, when it is taken into pressure levels ! ! ! !

I use 8 BANDS on my TMA ,,, BUT ,,
It is NOT the amount of bands that is important ,,,,

it is the fact the ,,,,
GEORGE USES THEM FOR HIS TMA TRADING STRATEGY / BASKETS ,,,,,, which is ,,,

BASED ON HIS DEEP AND INTENSIVE STUDY DONE ON THE STRATEGY TESTER ,,, TO ESTABLISH AN UNDERSTANDING OF PRECE PRESSURE APPLIED TO A PARTICULAR PAIR HE IS LOOKING AT ! ! ! !

===============================================================

Please understand the following ,,,,,

THE TMA'S AND THEIR SETTINGS ,,, ARE ONLY 10% TO 20% ,, OF THE BIG PICTURE ,,,, OF WHAT GEORGE DOES AND APPLIES ! ! ! !
===============================================================

WHAT THEN ,,,, IS THE ,,,, FULL PICTURE ,,,, OF WHAT ,,,,, GEORGE DOES AND LOOKS AT ????

George's trading is ,,,, 98% PSYCHOLOGY BASED ,,,, As I stated many times in the past ! ! ! !

===============================================================

WHAT IS THE PRACTICAL BASE OF GEORGE'S TRADING APPLICATION IN CORRELATION WITH TARGETS ?????

It is a number of FILTERS ,,, George developed for his own purposes ,,,, and
here is a LIST of a FEW ,,, just for the purpose of ,,,, establishing a foundation for some traders ,,,, to establish their own approach ,,,,

WHAT IS THE DAILY RANGE OF THE PAIR GEORGE IS TRADING ,,,,
WHICH SESSION AM I TRADING IN ,,,, HOW MANY SESSIONS LEFT FOR THE DAY ,,,,
WHAT PART OF THE SESSION AM I IN AT THAT TIME ,,,,
HOW MANY PIPS ON THE TABLE FOR THE DAY SO FAR ,,,
HOW MANY PIPS ON THE TABLE FOR THAT SESSION ,,,
HOW MANY PIPS ON THE TABLE FROM THE OPENING BAR OF LONDON ,,,,, I LOOK FOR SET NUMBER OF PIPS ,,,,
WHAT IS THE MOMENTUM FEEL ON THE H4 ,,,
WHAT IS THE MOMENTUM FEEL ON THE H1
WHAT IS THE MOMENTUM FEEL ON THE M15 ,,,
ARE THEY ALL CORRELATED IN THEIR MOMENTUM ,,,,
DO WE HAVE A CONTRADICTION OF MOMENTUM BETWEEN THE H1 AND H4 ,,,,
WHAT IS ON THE TABLE ,,, IN THE WAY PRICE IN BALANCE WITH TIME ,,,,
WHAT PRICE STATION AM I AT ,,, FROM THE SET STATIONS I HAVE FOR EACH PAIR ,,, IN ANTICIPATION FOR A RETRACEMENT ,,,
WHERE IS THE PRICE IN RELATION TO THE TARGET WE ARE APPROACHING ,,,
HAS THE TARGET BEEN TAKEN OUT ,,,
HOW FAR IS THE NEXT TARGET ,,,
WHAT TIME OF THE DAY WHEN A TARGET IS REACHED ,,,,,
WHERE IS THE PRICE ON THE 1 MINUTE CHART IN RELATION TO THE TMA PRESSURE ZONE ,, AND ,,, WHICH MINI ZONE ,,,,
WILL IT FIT INTO THE TOTAL RANGE FOR THE DAY,, IN RELATION TO THE SESSION WE ARE IN ,, AND THE NUMBER OF SESSIONS TO COME YET FOR THE DAY ,,, IF THE PRICE WAS TO CONTINUE TO IT WITHOUT A RETRACEMENT ,,,,
HOW MANY HOURLY BARS DO WE HAVE IN THAT SWING CONTINUOUS ,,,
HOW MANY PIPS EACH BAR HAS ,, AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO THE ,,, TOTAL PIPS FOR THE H4 BAR ,,,,
SAME APPLIES TO THE 15 MNT ,, AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO THE HOUR BAR SIZE ,, IF THE PRICE WAS TO CONTINUE ,,, WITH THE SAME M15 BAR SIZES / SPEED ,,, ONE AFTER THE OTHER ,,,,
ECT. ECT. ECT.

THIS IS EXACTLY THE PROCESS GEORGE APPLIES AT ALLLLLL TIMES ,,, AND ,,,AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT ,,,, LIKE A HIGH SPEED COMPUTER ,, BREAKING DOWN THE MARKET BEHAVIOR ,,,

IT IS NOT A LIST GEORGE READS THROUGH ,,,,,
IT IS NOT WRITTEN DOWN ,,,,,
IT IS A ,,, BOUNDLESS ,,, FRAME OF MIND ,,, AT WORK CONSTANTLY ,,, TICK BY TICK ! ! ! !

GEORGE ,,, NEVER ALLOWS ,, A WINNING TRADE ,,,, TO TURN INTO ,,, A LOSING TRADE ,, OR ,,, STOPPED OUT ! ! ! ! !
=====================================================================================

I hope this will ,,, HELP ,,, some of the fellow family members ,,,,, to establish some kind of a ,,,

SOLID BASE ,, MINDSET ,,, DEPTH ,,, INTENSITY LEVEL ,,,THAT NEEDS TO BE APPLIED TO THEIR APPROACH ,,,
IF THEY ARE SERIOUS ENOUGH ABOUT ,,, WANTING TO SUCCEED IN THIS GAME ! ! ! !

===============================================================

THIS CONCLUDES ,,,, ALL THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED ,,,, FOR ANYONE TO BE ABLE ,,,, TO ESTABLISH A WINNING JOURNEY IN THE GAME ,,,,

THIS KNOWLEDGE SHARED TO DATE IS USELESS ,,,, UNLESS ITS APPLICATION IS MASTERED ! ! ! ! !

THE APPLICATION OF THE KNOWLEDGE SHARED ,, IS A PROCESS THAT CAN REQUIRE YEARS ! ! ! !
================================================================

::::::::::::::::::: TIME :::::::::::::::::::

IS THE ,,, ESSENCE ,,, TO IT ALL ! ! ! !


Cheers,
George
LOVE YOUR GAME WITH A PASSION ,,,,, WORK WITH A VISION ! ! ! ! !

TARGET TRADING THEORIES / SYSTEM
========================



THE MECHANICS
PART 3

===========================================

WHY IS THE MARKET ALWAYS SWINGING UP AND DOWN ????
----------------------------------------------------------------------


As we established last post ,,,
The market is moved by the MARET MAKER ,,,, And ,,
It does NOT require so called LIQUIDITY ,,,, as the market IS LIQUIDITY ITSELF ! ! ! !

The market is for ever moving up and down ,,, and there is a reason in my opinion as to why it constantly does that ,,,,
And it is because of the following ,,,,
The market is a money making business ,,,, and like we previously said ,,, the market maker needs to buy and sell just like any normal trader in order to make money ,,,,,

SO ,,,,
The MM moves price up and down in order for traders to take positions so they can make a profit ,,,,
And ,,, Every trader at what ever level they are ,,,, retail or institutional level ,, usually needs to have a protection mechanism in place ,,, In the form of ,,,,
Either a STOP LOSS ,, OR a HEDGE ORDER ! ! ! !

And as it is always taught by the so called educators ,,,,
Place the stops loss orders below the previous low , or above the previous top ,,,
That behavior creates a mass of stop loss orders in those places ,,,,

As the MM neds to buy and sell ,,, and due the volume of money HE trades with ,, they need large amount of orders to execute against his orders ,,,,
So ,, the MM will NEED to move the market to places where there are a large amounts of congregated stop loss orders ,,,, which are usually above tops and below bottoms as we said above ,,,,,
Also often there are Pending orders for break out traders ,,,,

And ,,,,,
Due to the fact ,,, this process is also continuous ,,, a constant BUY and SELL activity is present at any one time ,,,, load ,,, unload ,,, load ,,, unlod ,,,,, As the market is moving ,,, because ,,
The market maker is taking the other side of every buy and sell order
So there is always a need to balance between his accumulated BUY and SELL orders in his book ,,,,,,

SO ,,,,
WHAT ARE TARGETS ,,, that MY THEORIES BASED ON ?????
THE ANSWER IS ,,,

TARGETS ARE ,,,,,
ANY TOP OR BOTTOM THAT HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN OUT YET ,,, FROM WHERE THE PRICE IS AT ANY GIVEN TIME ! ! ! ! !

So what does that mean ??????

It means that ,,,,
From where ever the price is at any given time ,,, It will ONLY move to one of two places ,,,,
1 ,,,, THE TOP ABOVE ,,,,, OR
2 ,,,, THE BOTTOM BELOW ,,,,,
Relevant of the AGE of that top / Bottom
NOTING ELSE in this business ! ! ! ! !
I have attached a chart to Demonstrate the above ,,,,,
--------------------------------------------

AS SIMPLISTIC AS THIS BUSINESS IS ,,, The MAJORITY OF TRADERS LOSE MONEY ! ! ! !

Why does that happen ????
In MY PERSONAL OPINION ,,,, It is due to the following ,,,,
TRADERS HAVE NOT ESTABLISHED A DEEP AND COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF PRICE ACTION ! ! ! !

This is a term used often in this business by many educators ,,,

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO UNDERSTAND / MASTER PRICE ACTION ????

The answer is the following ,,,,,
As i have said in earlier posts ,,,, when i spoke about my 3 ANCHORS ,, which are ,,,
1 ,,, PSYCHOLOGY
2 --- PRICE ACTION
3 ,,, TMA TRADING

and also said ,,,
MY TRADING is based on 98% PSYCHOLOGY and 2% CHARTS / PRICE ACTION ,,,,

WHY DO I SAY THAT ?????

It is BECAUSE ,,,,
PRICE is moved by the MARKET MAKER ,,,, and NOT randomly ,,,,
SO ,,,,
There is ALWAYS a constant GUESSING element involved as to ,,,
WHAT WILL BE THE NEXT MOVE ??????

WELL ,,,,
This will bring me to the MAJOR POINT here ,,,, which is the following ,,,,,

In a previous post ,,,
I talked about the TYPE OF PSYCHOLOGY that I PERSONALLY developed that is applicable to this business ,,,,
and here it is ,,,,

Forget about any type of psychology you read about ,,,, here about ,, which is SADLY is ALLLL about making YOU feel like you are mentally retarded ,,
THAT IS JUST NONSENSE in my opinion ,,,,,

THE PSYCHOLOGY THAT WE NEED TO MASTER AS TRADERS IS ,,,,

MASTERING THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE MARKET MAKER ! ! ! ! ! ! !
================================================================

We shall leave it here for now ,,,,
Next post I will go into detail about the last statement ,,,

In the meantime ,, as we always say ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

::::::::::::: THE JOURNEY CONTINUES :::::::::::::::

George

Hello everyone!
It's great to see the community posting their own interpretation of the charts. It inspired me to post mine. I'm a new trader (been demo trading for about 3 months) trying to establish his foundation. I'm lucky to find this thread at the start of my trading career; SO MUCH valuable information if you're willing to study. Big thanks to George and the team, and as well as the other traders who are posting their own version of the charts!
