Once/if one goes futures, you need to adjust to a week or so every 3 months of odd prices. No big deal if you are trading short term. One way to alleviate this is with a continuous contract which uses price from the most forward contract. Otherwise, you need to accept the fact that spot and futures are different prices. Same nearly identical bar pattern.

There is NOTHING RANDOM in the markets..... Everything is MEASURED AND TIMED..... Specific Measured Point to Point Moves..... I know after many many years in this game ... This is very true .. I see it every single day... I trade it Every single day.... Specific Measured levels and timing. It's how it works..... https://youtu.be/1aPmYTyleq4
Good vid there by Stacey. (oops I mentioned him said I wouldn't but it's ok he's ace.) Still don't get the day counts also level counts.

Anyway he touches on time. Very precise movements based on time. Then he touches on smart money concepts, are they really just common money concepts now? Just read a book on time compression (multi timeframe analysis basically) which the author believes time is the important thing.

Hi FWR,

Me either to begin with.

Reviewing one of his vids again I now accept the three day counts do NOT need to be consecutive, if that helps.

ie Day 1 can be UP, Day 2 flat, Day 3 range, Day 4 UP again. The Next UP Day would complete his 3 day cycle

(tho I HAVE seen 4 pushes UP, with flat days in between, for what its worth ).

Kev can explain it all better.

Will an FGD ( first green day) be also counted as a UP day? or it must break the prev daily high to be considered a UP day??

It's all a bit too subjective for me fxp.

I don't trade based on this, or wait for any number of days to occur (in either direction).
I trade "in the moment" based on what the market is 'doing' at the time.

Having said that, Kev/Blue and I did discuss this actual pair below lol AND the potential for it being a 4th day reversal when texting on Skype.
And I was selling on the day for pips hahaa.

But I was well asleep lol on the large drop candle, which printed after Franky close and into the London Close Fixing Time.
This happens a lot in the New York Session while I am asleep dossing hahaa -
But no fomo, the market does its mechanics - each day.

I play in Asia & pre-Franky Open to two hours after the London Open (my best period for pips)

Here's the chart of GJ leading up to that 4th day turn potential Kev & I discussed.

And remember, I have seen 4 days Up also (maybe more), so this 3 day cycle is not set in concrete as a set trade idea for me (imho).

Watch the market intraday, it will tell you what it's doing by the candles printing
(it has to, that just can't be hidden, only foxed - with the fakes & flips etc).

Hi handy,

Mate it's the market mechanics playing out over & over.

Here's a post from near two years ago, I was trading pretty much the same way back then lol (have refined it over time of course).

Have a look at the chart in this old post - repitition by variance is the play of the market as I see it.

all the best

Because of this subjectivity, I consider trading an art. Every day we trade, either we make money or we learn something, and sometimes both. The TA truly lies in the eyes of the beholder.

The way I comprehend the SB's day count is, after 3 up days ( FGD inclusive and inside day exclusive), the probability of a corrective move is quite high. Even the EW traders will be waiting for a major correction. Keeping that in mind, any subsequent up day (after counting the 3rd) is a bull trap for me, and which day of the current week is also a factor. IMO

You are subjective and objective at the same time.

The subjective part is always a price, a level, a line, a structure that you observe and when your conditions for engagement are met, be it a touch, a cross or a flip, whatever that is, is the objective part.

Trading is about timing as much as it is about TA or FA.

Hi TT, thanks for the explanation as you see it. That's clear enough but I'm not a fan of 3 really being 5 sort of scenarios. But lines are cool.

Hi FWR,

Mate (imho only) everything we are given or shown in Forex has the capacity to work 50% of the time (and therefore, 50% of the time it may NOT lol).

Same with the waves folk, and I cannot sit around waiting for 'them waves' lol (well the ones in my eyes lol) to do what they are supposed to do, and
after which then indicates to followers I guess that price "might" do something afterwards.

The simplest way for me, and in imo, is to watch WHAT the market does, as it cannot hide its footprint in candles because the candles show the start/finish of PRICE in YOUR own selected timeframes.

BUT. There's the rub with candles. WHICH timeframe produces a reasonably reliable PRICE start/finish that is meaningful to US & the way we trade.

The Trader themselves here is the 'edge', for want of a better word.
To turn any 50% into 51% +++++++, if you know what I mean.
When we see the Market in its full behaviour we can never NOT see it again in our eyes, is the best I can say.
I don't discuss entries (pretty much ever) just the Market Mechanics shown in my charts. Traders will find their own best entries, for their own reasons at the time.

All the best in our search.

Mate,

Just a thought on FVG of HTF. According to ICT, FVG shows an imbalance/inefficiency in the price due to the rapid rise or fall, and the price tends to revisit the area as the price was not offered in that area. Now, if you zoom in to LTF, we can see that prices have been already visited/offered in the FVG area, within that rapid rise or fall that was visible in one candle move (HTF). Considering that, to me, the FVG in 1M ( the lowest TF possible, well.... in MT4) would be more accurate. I will appreciate your input on this.
