Quoting Swede
{quote} Have a look at post 113 to 115. Then look at Jenkins Time Conversion Bars...you will answer your own question I think..
I am not there yet, trying to understand Secret Angle first.

Is that white line Equilibrium and if it is, price should move up to 0 or 100?

Hi Everyone – having been involved in the markets for many many years in various capacities I was introduced to the works of Michael Jenkins in DiamondMiner’s other thread – Time & Price. I was intrigued and purchased not only The Secret Angle Method but also the Optuma platform with the Jenkins plug in too. I have read many of the other Jenkins books that have been kindly uploaded by Parisboy and others in the hope of gaining some further clarity.
I have not posted on this thread (or the other one) before this as I felt I had nothing constructive to offer, and unfortunately feel this is still the case. Whereas others here – Swede & Stev1929 in particular – seem to have embraced all that Jenkins has to offer and have clearly managed to put it all to good and profitable use, I have just been finding it all too subjective, and whilst I’m able to find a chart that resonates with what Jenkins teaches there are plenty of others I can find where I’m unable to put his theories to work.
I’m currently trading the Mini Nasdaq on a very short term basis – 233 tick, so I guess you could call it scalping (whilst keeping the longer term charts to hand as well to see the bigger picture). If anyone is able and willing I would love to see some Jenkins examples on this underlying and some guidance as to where I am going wrong. I am not here to criticize but to learn, as I would really like to grasp what is clearly a powerful philosophy in approaching the markets.
Thanks to everyone who unselfishly puts their time in to make this (and other threads) what they are, and thanks in advance to anyone who is able guide me through applying Jenkins principles to the Mini Nasdaq.
Best, David

I really don`t know what I am doing, but moving from H1 to Daily, somehow trend line break is exactly there where that My Imaginary Equilibrium 100 or 0 is.
It`s only 100 pips or so, interesting to see next week if I am totally lost or something. Maybe Jenkins Veterans has some advice here?

Juhanimi, have you seen Jenkins 6.5 hour trading video? Have you read the prerequisite Jenkins ebooks? There are those who'd like to help, however it's you to whom has to do more than just draw lines. This thread will require you to do your homework.

Yes I understand, take it easy. I am trying to do exactly what Jenkins did and he did say: "use this as preliminary one to get a quick heads up look"
So I will follow and I am not gonna ask any questions, so you can have peace here.
But thanks for this thread, this is absolutely brilliant stuff.

Good Night.

I hear you Wellington. So I’m going to be politically incorrect and just slap the elephant in the room in the ass. Except for Swede, others who claim Jenkins to be the pathway to wealth rarely post trades demo, real or otherwise. Theres alot of theory and such here but real live trading is pretty much absent and that includes the thread starter. I have a couple of threads based in median line theory and swings and I just put it out there so those following me know I’m for real. It doesn’t have to be a trade call service but I think showing some kind of evidence of reality is not a bad thing. So put me on your ignore list DM but for now the credibility here is lacking. Just an advertisement for Jenkins expensive material.

You know, I feel embarrassed for posting live trades and their results when I put them on my chart after I close the trade because I feel like I'm just another braggart, shallow and with a big ego......and then I tell myself how does anyone learn unless they see what I see?? So its a bit of dilemma for me...'I've known so many braggarts full of themselves and I would just hate to be in that category. I also know you Winston and know your a genuine character. ..I have had a look at your new thread and it really falls into much of what we are doing with angles...and so on...wish you the best with it.

Last month, in 30 days I banked over 2000 pips...a few of them using 10.00 a pip, many at 5.00 a pip and a bunch taken in clusters built with 1.00 per pip...and very few losses, minuscule in fact. Now , how do I not share this with those interested...if I can help ONE person make his account preform accordingly, then I have done my job....its about paying forward some of what we have learned along this crooked and dangerous path we call trading...A big thanks to Diamond Miner for challenging me this way....although my first few days of analyzing this gave me a huge headache, and It wasn't all the good wine we had on our trip...lol

Nice boot Wellington btw....welcome.....a few years ago I specialized in trading YM....5.00 a pip....thought I could do well but I found it very frustrating and after 5 years of it on a casual basis, I closed my account and went back to some basic Forex....because I was already importing equipment from Germany, Ireland and Italy, I had to know currency and had to be able to buy or sell currency contracts to lock in price between the manufacturer build time and delivery time to dealer. After I sold my distribution arm I thought I should be able to trade forex quite easily...I can tell you it was not easy and I started to only engage on a very casual basis.....but after taking a month to really analyze Jenkins I discovered this guy knows what the heck he is talking about...I missed that all these years because to me Gann was so over my head....jimminy!!!...moons, Jupiter, mars...give me a break...so I pretty much discount all that even now...but that is unfair to those who have mastered all of that I guess.

Anyway, I would not be able to say much about what you are trading because I only have forex charts...and not tic charts in my mt4...but would help if I could....

I have watched many of you post your JSA and noticed quite a few did not match my charts and I know its a scaling problem... so this is my attempt to help you correct the problem....

The basic concept of JSA is the secret angle and the 50% of the initial impulse, along with the 90 degree offset and then the 50% fib retrace drawn off the JSA.

So it is critical to ensure these angles agree with the impulse move..and your simple protractor can help you do that.

So open your GBP daily chart and follow along. Lay your protractor over the impulse wave and make sure the 90 degree is really 90 degree, and the secret angle really is 1/2 of the impulse wave. Go to the far right of your screen and squeeze up or down until your protractor really does show a true 90 and a true 1/2 of the impulse. then right click on your chart, go to properties/common/ and check of scale fix. You should now have a perfect JSA....but warning..keep your fingers off the squeeze mode that U just used to make the angles perfect..or you will have the angles off again..lol

Here is my chart to compare...

There is one thing that Life has taught me, No matter what you do, someone will be happy and someone will be pissed off. There would be no purpose in going into a pissing match with anyone. Dale Carnegie taught me you can never win an argument. In my two accounts I trade with about 30K, lately BTC and Alt coins. I trade for fun and entertainment as I have had several successful careers. Currently I am retired from 40+ years of producing gold and diamond largely in West Africa and Guyana, South America with my own companies. I do not have to work another day in my life for money, money works for me.
Having started this thread in order to show others because I know there is another way for entry and exits, other than what they were taught.
Unfortunately, there is an occasional idiot that surfaces and wants to show his ugly little head much like Winston Reed had done today.
One thing I'll never do is, go to someone's house and talk ugly shit. Shame on you Winston Reed you do not know one thing about me.

I haven't sold any of this, have you? I know the answer....nothing will ever be sold on this thread...we are giving freely,,,,just as DM gave me....so I am doing...I take no credit whatsoever for what is being taught here...I just know a thing or two about mt4 and since so many use that charting package I felt it would be good for a start to adapt some of his teaching to our way of trading.....maybe then consider better charting like Optuma or Ensign..etc. I know life would be alot easier..lol

ps: I too am retired from a 30 year career in the Machinery Business, having rep"d for John Deere, Massey Ferguson, Deutz Fahr, Lamborghini (yes they built tractors way before sports racing cars) Bobcat....I do not need to teach or mentor, I do not need the money either so I am free and relaxed when I trade...(well not always, I really hate draw down and losses)

Swede, by admission Optuma is my preferred platform for doing projections. However I know less a handful of people that use it. After taking Beck's course in 2009 I think? he introduced to to me, and once you try it a few months with the Beck's toolkit, trading because very easy, entries and exits combined. However, it's not free, it's about $600 per year that last time I checked. In one to three trades it will pay for itself. Yes, everything thing we do here is from free, We'd just like to see people succeed. I Swede, and I know you Swede never said we were Guru's. We just know a path that works. Now, that I am 70 years of age Swede, I'm making the Moto, "Never let someone ruin your day". LOL

Thanks. I had looked through library of trader and could not find a search feature. Tried some of the free downloads. They were not working, so was in no hurry to send them money for nothing. Will give another try. Thanks again.
