{quote} One word - Impressing work you are doing. Are you then using it in your daily trade? Are you a swing trader? Which timeframe do you normally use? How long might you hold a trade?
Thanks

I'll trade anything from 15 mins out to weekly - All I'm searching for are 100% picture perfect set-ups, doesn't matter the time-frame, if its picture perfect I'll take it and I trade multiple methods/set-ups - these will be set-ups that have a very high probability of working

The main thing to stress - is that the trades are dictated to by price pattern and momentum indicators - if the price pattern isn't there, i don't trade

See this chart - the BLUE circles were all very high probability trade potential - because of where price was in the SMA's AND the RSI momentum indicator position was in perfect positions for that CYCLE to reverse - the extent of the cycle reversal isn't known, but we can TIME the turns accurately

I also trade triple bottoms/tops, double tops/bottoms and price swings but in a very controlled way again it has to make sense from a success basis

You are a real hunter. I admire that. If I had the time, I would study your method on a papertrade basis. In the near future I will.

You know - I too am hunting the perfect setup. But I make the rules and code it into a robot, then I just have to follow my little assistant that takes the trades for me. The problem is to get the rules sharp enough, because as Dave says it - using the eyeball - the computer have no eyes, it only has the code that I make, so I must be the eyes.

I write this once more:

I have this robot which I have named BreakBack. As for now it measure if price has passed yesterday High/Low and then passes back inside yesterday High/Low frame. Then it takes the trade in direction from high to low or low to high.

The frame is yesterday High/Low, but I can maek it anything. It will also be possible to manually feed the robot with levels. Could this be a thing we could try out here on this thread - if I upload the robot here?

Anyone in for this experiment??

If you are in, then go to my RiskFighter profile and subscribe to me. I will then subscribe to you, and then we are able to PM. Then send PM to me, that you like to participate in the development of the robot.

The purpose of this is to assure, that we are not making a robot for everybody to download from page one. Participants must be participating in the development with ideas and trials.

Another massive range day maybe now due at least a bounce of some sort, off the current low ?

I don't understand your way. I never delete posts - unless I regret the subject of the post.

Many people are reading and getting viser from your knowledge, but they don't post themself. Take a look at the downloads. Many hundred downloads. SO there have been hundreds of readers.

It is part of FF, that you can go into a lot of threads and read without participating. I do that every day. If all people did like you, then there would be no FF anymore.

But if you don't like to be one of the bearers of the thread, then you should not post in the first place.

I have looked at the BreakBack robot that I created sometime ago and never finished. I removed some errors and now it prints the lines from yeaterdays High/Low and it take the trade if thoses lines are passed and then passed back again.

You can trade multiple pairs. You can select the weekdays it may trade. You can set SL and RiskReward. You can set it to trade only up or down or both directions.

This is only the beginning. There are many functions that is needed. Should it be possible to select Daily, Weekly lines? Or lines at a specific level? Must there be some zones around the lines, so that a small riddle does not disturb and lead to false trades? How do we exit the trade? Can it take more than one trade on the pair? So there is a lot of development to do.

Just a teaser.

I will make a new thread for this on monday. But only active participants will get the robot. Active means: using the robot and report at minimum weekly results and findings and ideas etc.

OK. It seems that the thread is not doing well enough. And I agree.

I do not need this thread. So let me hear if there is somebody out there that want to participate in the thread - and not just be reading. If there are to few people, then let us stop posting and let the thread rest in piece.

That would be good enough for me
A fair while ago in fact a number of years ago I was on Andrew Pancholi mailing list
Found it really interesting but could never quite justify the costs involved
Your charts and looking at a few of those video's have peeked my interest again
But at my time of life I am afraid I will not be here to take advantage of some of the cycles
also I only trade for fun but learning the approach would keep my brain working
Other than here there would be no one in my small circle of friends be interested in the subject
I guess that's were the video's are the answer

ps
Sadly I am not a natural on all things computer as well
So that's another learning curve

I'm just aware of him, I've never looked past his website or subscribed - the link you posted, had the "war" cycle right in my eye line, hence why I mentioned it, but apart from that I've not watched that many of the videos

The main thing with trading is find a method that suits you/your personality - there's about 16 personality types out there - not all trading methods suit everyone

I am very very logical, precise and exact - which is why my trading is precise and exact - some traders can place a trade, have a very wide stop and let things move, I cannot do that, hence why I hunt for those picture perfect trade set-ups across 200 odd markets

Cycles are truly amazing - mainly for the big picture stuff in terms of major turns - but you can end up looking at lots and lots of stuff that has little effect on the markets - PS Stonehenge was a cycle counter of the sun/moon and eclipse cycles 56 is an important number in that and its why there are/were 56 Aubrey stones in the circle, so cycles aren't anything new, they've been around for thousands of years

anyway.............................................................

Here's a couple I would encourage everyone to quickly study

The first is something totally separate from the markets - COVID - the chart is totally self-explanatory, governments must know this and yet they "get caught out"

This one is a repeating cycle in the SP500 and DJIA for at least the last 100 years! The chart screen shot was made in 2019 - all you do is add 4 years and look for OCTOBER - Larry Williams discovered this decades ago and it usually bottoms around OCTOBER time every 4 years - in 2018 it Inverted into being a HIGH or it came 2 months late however, you want to classify it

Then you just watch and wait and if things turn the way the cycle is expected, you can take advantage of, however, you choose to - by doing this you also have a possible prediction on trend direction etc Seen as we are trying to catch trends

Back in 2019, I had Oct 2022 on my charts for the next repetition and look what the SP500 did in that month

Yes watched the the video with the War and Pandemic and many other cycles in, found it quite compelling , just need to be about 40years younger with a few bob to really take advantage of this style of trading
Maybe the Government new about the Pandemic cycle and used to to try and get rid of us OAPs ?

[quote=Thtpro;14956863]{quote} Lo conosco solo ora, non ho mai guardato oltre il suo sito web o mi sono iscritto - il link che hai postato, aveva il ciclo di "guerra" proprio nella mia linea d'occhio, ecco perché l'ho menzionato, ma a parte questo non ho guardato molti dei video La cosa principale nel trading è trovare un metodo che si adatti a te/alla tua personalità - ci sono circa 16 tipi di personalità là fuori - non tutti i metodi di trading si adattano a tutti Sono molto molto logico, preciso ed esatto - ecco perché il mio trading è preciso ed esatto - alcuni trader possono piazzare un trade, avere uno stop molto ampio e lasciare che le cose si muovano, io non posso farlo, ecco perché cerco quelle configurazioni di trading perfette su 200 mercati dispari I cicli sono davvero sorprendenti - principalmente per le cose del quadro generale in termini di svolte importanti - ma puoi finire per guardare un sacco di cose che hanno scarso effetto sui mercati - PS Stonehenge era un contatore di cicli del sole/luna e dei cicli di eclissi 56 è importante numero in questo ed è il motivo per cui ci sono/c'erano 56 pietre di Aubrey nel cerchio, quindi i cicli non sono una novità, esistono da migliaia di anni comunque................................................................... Ecco un paio di esempi che incoraggerei tutti a studiare velocemente Il primo è qualcosa di completamente separato dai mercati: il COVID. Il grafico è del tutto autoesplicativo, i governi devono saperlo e tuttavia "vengono colti alla sprovvista" {immagine} Questo è un ciclo ripetuto nell'SP500 e nel DJIA da almeno 100 anni! Lo screenshot del grafico è stato fatto nel 2019: tutto quello che devi fare è aggiungere 4 anni e cercare OTTOBRE. Larry Williams lo ha scoperto decenni fa e di solito tocca il fondo intorno a OTTOBRE ogni 4 anni. Nel 2018 si è invertito diventando un MASSIMO o è arrivato con 2 mesi di ritardo, tuttavia, vuoi classificarlo {immagine}. Quindi guardi e aspetti e se le cose girano come previsto dal ciclo, puoi trarne vantaggio, tuttavia, scegli di farlo. In questo modo hai anche una possibile previsione sulla direzione del trend, ecc. Visto che stiamo cercando di catturare i trend. Nel 2019, avevo ottobre 2022 sui miei grafici per la ripetizione successiva e guarda cosa ha fatto l'SP500 in quel mese.

HI. Cycles are a representation of prices based on the time factor. I find them extremely interesting but I don't understand one thing from your posts: you are talking about historical cycles on which it is not easy to trade. How do you calculate the duration of the cycles? there are monthly, semi-annual and annual cycles which, if I'm not mistaken, you don't talk about. and how do you represent them on graphs? I'm really interested in the topic.
