{quote} HAHA thats some serious wisdom right there ! WHich reminds me how I was told that Technical analysis is USELESS... A reminder of what TA is: "Technical analysis is the study of historical market data, including price and volume. Using insights from market psychology, behavioral economics, and quantitative analysis, technical analysts aim to use past performance to predict future market behavior." I think I can agree with that statement and it describes quite well exactly what I do Market psychology behavioral economicsquantitative...
That's a good definition.

Cheers Mark,

It's always interesting for me to watch Chart Reader Traders.

Those that don't or can't 'read' charts, well I understand they are sceptical no probs. They view it as some form of 'magic' in many cases.
They best then utilise the methods that they are comfortable with.
While the thing that fascinates me about different traders is that, instead of just going off and doing what they feel is best for their own trading,
they pop up (often on one thread after another) "slagging off" against a method they either don't or can't use.

But hey, that's Forex lol.

This guys vid I can see that he reads charts, well.

cheers pal

ps
the screen at the 7:03 is an excellent example of a beautiful & simple Horizontal Line depicting a current Structure that WILL be tested & broken at some point.
Patience.
The subsequent rotation of price both above & below the horizontal line for a short period (inflection on a mini-scale) shows traders are now getting 'excited'
and the market MUST at some point soon, have bias, and move away from the Horizontal Line as a new direction (intent ?).
These can be quite good areas for trades imo, while up to each trader to assess & test for themselves first.

Yeah a ps to work on ...

In the video I am currently watching he said something that instantly made me think of things you have posted, " here it spiked up to the top, that is interesting. What I really want to know is what they do after."

I will check that spot out here in a few. Take care

FRD - First Red Day

Preferable it comes after 2 or three up days with a PFH - Peak Formation High and a close below the open. If no PFH then trapped volume needs to be apparent.

I am at a pretty neat junction right now. I have watched most of Cameron Benson's videos. He did an excellent job of breaking down Stacey Burke's method. So good, that through the osmosis process (which I mentioned from almost the very beginning), it has almost instantly clicked. Starting this week I will be using my full slate of knowledge (what that may be, more than some, less than others) to trade the markets.

I am an all in kind of guy, as I think you can see, and I left work, maybe sooner than I should have [but in hindsight with certain things happening I think it may have been for the best]. LONG. HARD. EIGHT. MONTHS.

Something came up, which I will get into, since this has been like a book from day one documenting things - lots of things, some not fully viable, but most with some logic. If I survive this whole thing. I figure I have a month and a half, maybe two months to make this work or I will likely have to go back to work.

No pressure. I say that truthfully. I am as calm as I can be (if you believe I can be calm). I have not been this focused to accomplish anything.

One 3 part evaluation for a prop firm. It is set up so the trader is more relaxed in regard to time restraints. It also requires what many would consider too tight/restrictive mandatory stops. Does not bother me as I trade that way anyway. Best of all worlds. I'm telling you, things fall into place when they are meant to. No sooner. No later.

One viable live futures account that I trade the MES on.

Hoping for a fun and prosperous ride.

I have 100% respect for Cameron Benson. I love the way he deliver's the material. His military background fits perfectly with what he is trying to do. Give him a sub.

This chart is what brought it all together. I also have that moment of why didn't SB make it this easy. Whatever.

The main focus at the start of every week is Group 2. That is the Weekly template tha SB always talks about. Monday sets the OR - Opening Range. This sets the initial HOW/LOW. From there we go to Tuesday which combined with Monday gives the IB - Initial Balance. Wednesday is just that as it could do any of numerous things. As I learn more about OR and IB I will post that information.

Second is Group 1. There are a couple pair that are at 2 or 3 days of H/L expansion. Will check for any Inside days. FRD/FGD have specific criteria to meet. The difference between SB and CB are that CB only requires a push to make a PFL/PFH and will accept one in the same day. <If I got that wrong let me know>

Group 3 is something I will deal with when it occurs. The way markets are, it should not be too long of a wait.

My plan is to use SB/CB to identify areas of possible entries then go to the M5/M1 with my squiglies to get a good precise entry.

Now that I am at this point, I realize how simple yrt how complicated Burke's method is. It is not trivial. This chart keeps calling me, so I will see what I can make of it.
