Price action at the core / tma intra day

A Thousand Thank Yous to George and THE INNER CIRCLE.

Thanks to this project I've been set on a path that is changing everything about my life and the life I want for my family.

I'm an enthusiastic but quite serious type of guy who I know has what it takes to become a highly consistent and highly profitable trader that sophisticated investors will want to fund once a strong track record has been laid down.

I'm not there yet, it is perhaps at least another 2 to 3 years away, but that time is coming and I will move closer towards it each day as I continue to learn.

All the best of success to all those who have been affected by the work in the project.

Cheers
Anthony

Hello George,

just wanted to say thank you for all the time and knowledge you made available for FREE on this thread.

I was going on a rant to support you after all the negative rubbish you had to cope with. I refrained because YOU don't need it and it just throws gasoline on the usual flamers.

At the end of the day everybody gets many calls during his life, sometimes he is ready sometimes he is not.

Regards

Diego
PS: The journey continues
PPS: Thanks to Andy, Zoltan, Kevin and all other committed traders for their time, knowledge and constructive contributions. I won't be able to post but I will keep reading

Hi George,

Firstly Thank you. I think I need not explain any further as to what you've done via this thread to those who are 'Serious' about 'Trading' and 'Mastery' of the subject. I've seen George make calls to the pip and it was phenomenal. Although I'm still not at the point of 90% I must say that my trading has never been better. I haven't lasted a demo account for more than 1 month in the past years of my trading journey. However, after applying what George has taken pains to explain to us. My Game has totally changed. I can't thank this man enough and as he has opened a doorway to freedom and freedom dear readers is not something you'll get by just walking down the beach on a Sunday evening. Bluesteele, Amos, Timetells, Moodybot, SunnyCoast are a few of the people I learned from through this thread. I take this opportunity to thank them as well.

Society will always laugh and ridicule anyone outside the system. As they did to past Sages. But in the end by doing that they always come to know that they were the ones that were misguided at a time when it's too late to turn around. Such is life for the majority of humanity these days. Only a handful of people will come to know the value of what is laid down here, I wish them the best of luck and perseverance.

I'm sad that I won't be able to see the notification on my phone go up with the words 'George AUS' on my phone again on this thread again every morning. I'm sad that a noble man's efforts are shunned by a group of ignoramuses. I'm sad that potential future readers won't be able to listen from a man who knew this game like the back of his palm. However, like any other journey. The ending is also part of it. Lastly Thank you again George.

Regs,
Alex

JdTo Kevin (Bluesteele)

Your last post was very nice. Thank you for finding the time to post this. I have had a strong passion for trading forex in the last 8+ years only demo trading. I was frustrated with whiplashes against my trades. I suspected market manipulation and starting looking for ways to detect that. Within a day, I found this thread in May even though I rarely looked at the forums in FF.

This is my first post since 2016. I was going to wait until I finished my study before I post anything and hopefully chat with George whose a little younger than I am. I would like to be a member of trading group in my age bracket some day. I guess it is too late.

To George, thank you for your time and dedication. I know how physically and mentally demanding it can be to devote your time to others. I am not yet retired from a Dow Jones employer but my job takes a toll on me too and it is hard to devote all my free time to study the charts but I am getting there. I hope to some day enjoy the fruits of my trading endeavor like you do.

To others who mocked George and others, please find in your heart to stop being critical and disrespectful. Life is too short for that now. When you wake up each morning, start the day with a positive attitude and be nice to everyone and don’t take things for granted. Be grateful for your health, sound mind and the security of your own residence. Think about all the unfortunate people out there who have tremendous daily struggles.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we can increase the number of positive minded and loving people every day....

Thank you. God bless.

Robert

Hi,

Thanks for the insight, George. It's hard to sift through all the bs there is when starting out trading Forex but what you have shared has been gold.

@bapakjason, if you click on the attachments icon (on the right just above the thread title) you can download a 'George Posts PDF 15' and read all about it. It's definitely worth the time.

Cheers,

Hi Jason, this method is basically S/D or S/R coupled with wyckoff's spring strategy, nothing new same old mean reverting using tma can achieve same with any other bands or channels.
The way it presented is what attracts everyone. Being a herd is way more profitable than these types of high win rate fallacies.
Thanks.

To this wonderful MAN called GEORGE AUS AKA The ONLY GEORGE or GEORGE of the UNIVERSE. People that felt your impact during your time with this project has said it all. Nothing for me add. You have done well. We will continue with what you have given us as you normally says the journey continues.

Andy, Zoltan, Keven, and Alex Thank you too for all your inputs to this project. This is really a team work. Showing charts with markup and explanations really helps.

Amos

The way this thread has been presented has everything to do with one person's success.

It doesn't matter what type of style/strategy/spin has been put on (or perceived to have been put on), George's theories.

It doesn't matter whether it is this thread or another...or where...or how inspiration is sparked in someone...as long as a spark has been ignited in someone, and provided the fuel to aim for success in this arena.

George has resonated with many people here, in the way he has presented his theories, and will undoubtedly be responsible for the success of many.

Inspiration in any form, is indeed welcome.
Happy trading to all.

My Thoughts on the mission undertaken by George-George's own words below sums it up perfectly.

Thank God Vee is gone for good. The guy jumped from thread to thread making assumptions, disregarding the styles of trading put to work by others, and overanalyzing each sentence stated.

Over to this, he lacks an understanding of how quant systems work, and thought an "edge" can be gained looking at the past data.

There's only so many sources of alpha in the markets, and, for the most part, they are simple strategies executed with the most accurate of methods to trade millions of dollars worth of stock/futures/currencies within a few seconds. The complexity lies in the volume, not the strategy.

Keep the good work up George. It's really nice to see your knowledge shared here. It's true that in trading, the biggest enemy you have is not the market, but the man in the mirror.

A year ago decided to join FF although never been a fx trader as I found it a very active community and life has taught me you always can learn something from almost anything. Human beings can't help it I guess.

Immediately found amusing how many people convert forums in crusades (for or against it) as if their very soul-identity is at stake. I just can't get it.

George's system is not for everybody as any other system in the planet.

It has been said "at nauseum" that a trading system has to fit many traits in your personality, style, etc. Nevertheless, George or anybody will be attacked when the system does not conform to the belief, skills, etc, etc of someone. I have seen many of those threads in this forum that didn't suit me in some way, I just pass it as if I never been there, why some people decide to cling there?. I just can't get it.

I came to this forum because I developed and indicator that was giving me amazing targets but at the end didn't know why and I was missing pieces for market direction. Fractal Freack's thread gave what for me is a sound explanation but didn't put me any closer to complete the puzzle.

George's thread gave sharp clarity at the puzzle I have but his "counter trend" style is not for me neither the way I play with options in stocks.

That is my problem not George's. As a consequence now I feel very confident at George's targets and have fully discarded my indicator for that but saw that I could convert it in an amazing Bands indicator ala TMA!! isn't that an unexpected outcome?. I would never ever have thought on that until this thread.

I don't know George, but should I feel grateful for what I have learned? I think so
Did it give me all what I was looking for? No it didn't
Does his trading style suit me? not at all.
Whose problem is that? Only mine.

There are other threads that I am perusing with also very intelligent and caring people... with lots of indicators, that I will look at and as you know will be discarding 99.99% BUT I am 100% sure that will learn something.

George thanks, and for what is worth I think you are right in bringing this thread to a close

Muhammad Ali never gave up......

Bruce Lee never gave up.....

Usain Bolt never gave up.....

George will give up....????

:: THE JOURNEY HAS TO CONTINUE ::

Reconsider, drink a beer, and calm down.......

If this project is really indefinitely closed.....then...

Thanks for all you have tried to teach and explain....

Cheers
Andres

Hi George, I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend.

You know that wonderful, warm-fuzzy feeling that comes over you when someone goes out of his way to help you out? Of course you do. The feeling is gratitude, and it feels even better when you express it. Myself and so many others are so touched by your generosity, sharing with us your vast working knowledge of the market.

George I’m humbled and grateful for all you do for us, though it’s sad to see you close the thread but I do understand you have to do what you have to do.

I’ve learned so much from talking with you. You are super amazing at what you do! I’m grateful to have had the chance to. Thank you for your invaluable mentoring, thank you for all you have done.

Love always,
Wayne

A big thank you to George & to all who participated in this amazing thread project.


I also thank George for allowing me to be a part of the original concept he put forward from the beginning to assist new & struggling traders understand what was happening within the market in which they were trading.


When traders took on board the now obvious concept that the market (price) is being “driven” rather than merely oscillating naturally up and down, at least it gave those traders (and to which the project was originally aimed at) a chance to VIEW the market in its true REALITY.


This immediately put traders in a better understanding of the playing field they were operating in.


There was NEVER a method or system proposed by George that was to be grown into an indicator or EA that would be the Holy Grail for traders and which would cover a trader’s every need, in every moment, when a new trade was to be contemplated.


George’s Project allowed the trader to NOW observe the Psychology of the Market Maker (as George penned it), so that an EXTRA thought process could take place in a trader’s mind before pushing a Buy or Sell button. A thought process that was other than …. “Will the price go up, or will the price go down?”


This revelation was enough for some traders to immediately take their trading to a new level of understanding.


But George did not stop there. George then pointed out, for anyone who was interested to listen to his long term market observations, that if the market price WAS to go up or down, then it would be …… GOING SOMEWHERE.


Not just randomly moving here and there, which of course price does in its apparent meanderings, but an actual moving ……. SOMEWHERE.


George then opened up more of his tested observations by stating where this SOMEWHERE (whether up or down) was likely to be. George identified and expressed that these were called TARGETS (and he also showed how to draw these FUTURE targets MANUALLY on charts BEFORE the trading day began).


At this point, for me, that was all I could have asked for, and which allowed me to pursue MY OWN way of dealing with this information, at my own pace.


But George didn’t just leave it there.


He advised everybody (including Angelo first, then me at the time) that he had taken all this a step further and utilised a “known” indicator called the TMA-TRUE (non-repainting) (and thanks to Kola also) to provide him with the PRECISION & CONSISTENCY that George PERSONALLY REQUIRED before sending out a new trade to the market.


Thus his 98% (minimum) success, that I witnessed. George was not just taking ANY trade, at any time, and getting his 98%, he was waiting for the MM to GIVE him the BEST setups. Now that, folks, is a MASTER trader.


But, George didn’t just mention this TMA indi & then leave traders to ponder over whether this indi was best on a 4HR chart, or a 1HR chart etc (which EVERY OTHER indicator-user must struggle with in determining which timeframe will provide its best readings).


George advised everybody that HE was using it predominantly (but not exclusively) on the 1min chart.


And so that people would BEGIN to learn for themselves how to trade in the market as independent individuals, and not RELY forever on someone else, he asked them to work out the settings for themselves.


Not to HIDE or protect this information from people but to get traders to ENGAGE and INVEST in their own futures.


George then told everyone that the TMA actions he employs constitute only about 2% of his OVERALL process in determining when a trade might be considered. The Psychology of the MM was the real key.


In fact once the Market Makers Psychology is employed as part of a traders arsenal then even standard indicators (YES, imho any indicator or chart that gives a structural overview of where price is and has recently been) can be used to ADVANTAGE.


But an indicator should NOT used as the main reason/purpose for taking a trade. They are “indicators” by name, and by nature. And should only be used to “indicate” a current chart structure. NOT to define a trade entry.


George was very vocal in his opinion that an indicator was USELESS, when used in the WRONG way and WITHOUT a deep & clear understanding of how & what was moving the market price.


People misunderstood imo his intentions in WEANING people away from the indicator “convenience” and he tried to get traders to UNDERSTAND the market mechanics deeply & comprehensively FIRST.


After a period of working with the new found understanding of TARGETS, these (extreme TMA) areas will become obvious to the plain eye. Tricky to trade-catch them with the naked eye, when the market is flying though, it must be said. And of course the market will still grind away further from an extreme move and can throw traders into drawdown, so George told everyone he would hedge at a certain point & then re-assesses the market.


TIME invested in understanding the markets is a major KEY (and for those beginning then DEMO trading allows for pain free TIME for their learning, which George made absolutely clear for testing his theories).


THAT was the basic project as I remember it from my early involvement.


Of course many professional & experienced traders clearly saw its value and, bringing their own excellent insights, came aboard and were in a position to grasp all George’s theories more readily than most and could take this information discussion further & further with him.


And here we are.


To be honest, to me, the ending of the current project of innovations, is a merely an occurance of time (& conduct) by the ever growing and diverse participants reading the thread, some with their own (viable) ideas but which have clashed with the original purpose of the thread, and the OP and others. So be it.


I am pretty much done with Forums, as I have mentioned previously. Life is too short for me (at 67½ lol) to be involved with arguments, irritabilities and posturings of opinion REGARDLESS of who is right and who is wrong. I happily watch from a distance and take any information offered that assists my own trading.


BUT. I still fail to comprehend how ANY trader, especially those who have little interest in the theories of George (AND who may well be successful in their own right with their own methodology), who would NOT try and comprehend George’s insights into this industry and then just incorporate those theories as a test (certainly the target theory) into their own current successful trading ideas. At least give it a try lol.


Anyway, thank you again to George and the MANY other forumites I have interacted with fondly over the past six months, it was a pleasure, and my apologies to any who do not fully understand my self-withdrawal from all these discussions & forum writings. But I do it for my own sanity and survival lol.


It has been some ride. Thx to all.
Pete

Hi George,

Thank you for your time, patience and the valuable knowledge you shared with us.

For me you also helped to fill some gaps (answered to some of the Why's) on the methodology that I have been developing (which it is based on Damien Castilla aka Mr. Pip's market structure analysis).
After having spent some research time I came to a point where I felt I was ready but I wanted to double check if there is any other method that is already out-there that is similar to what I see on the charts and that is when I became exposed to Richard Wyckoff's method (who also talked about the "Composite Man").

However my method was one dimensional (before following your thread). I was looking at the current price movement, recent peaks and valleys and the targets that are based on the recent peaks and valleys. I was not looking far to the left and I didn't consider the psychology and manipulation. Now my journal has been updated with the knowledge I acquired from your thread.

Right now I am spending more time applying your knowledge to as many chart scenarios I can find.

Thanks again and may God bless you.

PS: Where are we going to find the link to your next Podcast (here or FractalFreak's)?

I am probably one of the first members qualifying for George's ignore list, but somehow I managed to stay out of it …I had some back and forth with George, but let me only focus on positives, because there are many of them...

As background, I had one Skype discussion with George a few months ago and subsequently some nice Skype text chats about generalities...not much about trading. For sure George would have offered me guidance, should I asked for...no doubt about it in my mind...

My main goal is to learn as many things as possible and to integrate them in my own trading strategy...I guess everyone is trying to do the same...or should...

So for me everything comes down to: did I learn something useful reading this thread? And the obvious answer is ABSOLUTELY...I got a much, much deeper understanding of the games played by the MM into luring the traders (institutional and/or retail)… I was amazed by the precision with which the liquidity gaps are closed, even if I don't understand why this is happening...1 min TMA, even if I don't have the perfect settings (and btw I despise the indicators)… the relationship between time and price, though I knocked my head without getting what that time squaring means...just to name a few of them...these should be QUICK WINS for any trader who read(s) this thread...

Thank you George for all the knowledge shared in here and for the time and efforts invested in this thread.

Best,
Bogdan
